PUD MAJOR MODIFICATION FINDINGS Please refer to the attached, July 25, 2012, Planning Commission Staff Report, for a discussion of the considerations needed to approve the proposed Major Modification of the PUD development plan. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS Please refer to the attached, July 25, 2012, Planning Commission Staff Report, for a discussion of the considerations needed to approve the proposed Conditional Use Permit. PUBLIC COMMENT Public notices were sent to all property owners and tenants that had received notices of the previous Pleasanton Gateway development applications. Staff received one written communication from a noticed property owner supporting the proposed gas station. Any additional comments or concerns received from adjacent owners or tenants before the public hearing will be forwarded to the City Council as they are received. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Environmental review for the proposed project is covered by the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) approved for PUD-02-07M. The physical environment has not significantly changed since that time; no newer information or changed circumstances which require additional CEQA review has been identified to the City. Because the proposed service station would replace a previously approved building for this portion of the Pleasanton Gateway development and would have a negligible effect on the levels- of-service on nearby City streets and intersections, the Mitigated Negative Declaration can be used to cover the proposed modification in conformance with the standards of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The analysis in the adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration has been supplemented by a detailed queuing analysis (see Attachment #6). It should be noted that the proposed gas station is also subject to the review and approval by the by the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department and by the San Francisco Bay Area Air Quality Management District. As required by PUD-02-07M, the applicant is conditioned to have a qualified archaeologist present on site during the grading and trenching for the foundation(s), utility services, or other on-site excavation, in order to determine if any bone, shell, or artifacts are uncovered.
