ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT <br /> An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared and certified for the North <br /> Sycamore Specific Plan. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) specifies <br /> that individual development projects that are prepared pursuant to the requirements of <br /> an adopted specific plan, for which an EIR has been prepared and certified, are exempt <br /> from additional environmental review. Since the subject development is also proposed <br /> on the 5998 Sunol Boulevard property, which wasn't part of the NSSP or its EIR, and an <br /> amendment is proposed to the NSSP, a draft Negative Declaration accompanies this <br /> report to address the potential environmental impacts. Based on an initial study, staff <br /> believes that approval of Cases PSPA-4 and PUD-65-01M would not have any <br /> significant adverse effects on the environment. If the City Council concurs with this <br /> environmental assessment, the City Council must make the finding that the Mitigated <br /> Negative Declaration is appropriate prior to taking action on the project. <br /> CONCLUSION <br /> Staff believes that the proposed building meets all applicable requirements of the <br /> Pleasanton Municipal Code, North Sycamore Specific Plan, and General Plan as <br /> conditioned. In the opinion of staff, the project's building and site design, as proposed <br /> and conditioned, is appropriate for the surrounding area and conforms to the purposes <br /> of the PUD Ordinance. <br /> Submitted Fiscal Review: Approved y: <br /> 4,___' bf t---- Lnritidirtiaret___ <br /> Brian Dolan Emily Wegner Nelson Fialho <br /> Director of Community Development Director of Finance City Manager <br /> Attachments: <br /> 1.
