C. The City and Developer desire to extend the term of the Agreement and First Amendment thereto. In order to strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning, secure the orderly development of the Project and provide greater opportunities for traffic management and cohesive, attractive site design and improvements and related economic benefits to the City, the City has determined that this Second Amendment is an appropriate supplement to the Agreement and First Amendment thereto. D. For the original Development Agreement, the City adopted a mitigated negative declaration. The remaining 362,790 square foot expansion of the Project as permitted by the Agreement, First Amendment, and this Amendment, was covered by that original mitigated negative declaration, as well as considered as part of the EIR for the Pleasanton 2005-2025 General Plan certified in July 2009, and the SEIR for the Housing Element Update and Climate Action Plan General Plan Amendments certified in January 2012. E. On May 8, 2013, after conducting a duly noticed public hearing, the City Planning Commission recommended that the City Council approve this Second Amendment, based on the following findings and determinations: that this Second Amendment is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the City's General Plan; is compatible with the uses authorized in and the regulations prescribed for the land use district (C-R (Regional Commercial)) in which the Property is located; is in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good land use practices; will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the City or the region surrounding the City; will not adversely affect the orderly development of property or the preservation of property values within the City; and will promote and encourage the development of the Project by providing a greater degree of certainty with respect thereto. Thereafter, on June 4, 2013, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on this Second Amendment and made the same findings and determinations as the Planning Commission. On that same date, the City Council made a decision to approve this Second Amendment by introducing Ordinance No. . On , 2013, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the authority contained in California Government Code Sections 65864-65869.5, and in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises of the parties herein contained, the parties agree as follows: 1. Section 2.2 is hereby amended and restated as follows: 2.2 Term. The term of this Agreement and Developer's rights and obligations hereunder shall terminate on December 31, 2017. 2. Except as expressly modified by this Second Amendment, the City and Developer hereby ratify and confirm the terms and conditions of the Agreement and First Amendment, which are fully incorporated herein by reference and shall continue in full force and effect.
