PI1-0824(Downtown Hospitality Guidelines), P12-0798(Pleasanton Municipal Code Amendments) <br /> Initial Study and Negative Declaration <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> a-d. No physical changes such as construction, demolition, or lighting are proposed as <br /> part of this project. <br /> Special events and hospitality uses, such as music, entertainment, and bars are <br /> already allowed Downtown. The underlying zoning map establishing where these <br /> uses may be located is not proposed to change. Increases in occupancy above <br /> Code, such as the Fire Code, are not proposed. These types of events and <br /> commercial land uses were addressed in the Pleasanton General Plan and its <br /> corresponding EIR. The Pleasanton General Plan EIFt required no <br /> mitigation/improvement measures for aesthetic/visual resource impacts and <br /> deemed aesthetic impacts without mitigation as being less than significant. In the <br /> EIR for the Housing Element and CAP, impacts on scenic vistas (letter a, above) is <br /> deemed less than significant with mitigation for construction on housing site #7 <br /> (Pleasanton Gateway) to incorporate view corridors to maintain views of the <br /> ridgeline. All other aesthetic impacts without mitigation are deemed less than <br /> significant. The mitigation for housing site #7 will be implemented as required for <br /> with projects involving construction on that particular site. <br /> The proposed project is not anticipated to create any new or additional impacts <br /> which have not already been studied in the Pleasanton General Plan and Housing <br /> Element and CAP EIRs. Therefore, these would be of less than significant impact. <br /> November 2, 2012 16 <br />
