Staff believes that through the PUD process the proposed project has provided the developer and the City with a development plan that optimizes the use of this infill site in a sensitive manner. Therefore, staff believes that this finding can be made. VI. PUBLIC COMMENT Public notices were sent to property owners within a 1,000-foot radius of the project site and tenants of the Archstone Apartments, Hacienda Commons Apartments, Eaves Pleasanton Apartments, and the Metro 580 Shopping Center.

The CEQA Guidelines further clarify the circumstances under which a supplemental or subsequent EIR may be required. Guidelines Section 15162 provides as follows: PUD-85-08-1D-4M Page - 30 - March 27, 2013
