Based on the above, staff believes the project and the draft Development Agreement are consistent with the City of Pleasanton's General Plan. IV. PUBLIC COMMENT Public notices were sent to property owners within a 1,000-foot radius of the project site. At the time this report was written, staff had not received any comments from the surrounding property owners. Staff will forward to the Commission any public comments as they are received. V. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT On January 4, 2012, the City Council certified a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) and adopted the CEQA Findings and a Statement of Overriding Considerations for the Housing Element update and Climate Action Plan General Plan Amendment and Rezonings. This SEIR was a supplement to the EIR prepared for the Pleasanton 2005-2025 General Plan which was certified in July 2009. The subject property was one of 21 potential housing sites analyzed in the SEIR. A total of 168 multi-family housing units was analyzed in the SEIR for this site. The analysis in the Addendum to the SEIR determined that the proposed project will not trigger any new or more severe significant environmental impacts as compared to those analyzed in the context of the SEIR and confirmed that none of the conditions described in Section 15162 occurred. Therefore, the previously prepared SEIR and Addendum to the SEIR, taken together, are determined to be adequate to serve as the environmental documentation for this project and satisfy all the requirements of CEQA. The SEIR included some mitigation measures that needed to be addressed prior to issuance of a building permit for a project (e.g., pre-construction bat survey, air quality construction plan, etc). These mitigation measures have been addressed in the draft conditions of approval for this project. The SEIR included a Statement of Overriding Considerations for two significant and unavoidable impacts: Impact 4.D-1: Development facilitated by the General Plan Amendment and rezoning has the potential to adversely change the significance of historic resources. The Irby-Kaplan-Zia and Pleasanton Mobilehome Park properties on Stanley Boulevard contain older structures that may be historic. Mitigation measures in the SEIR required that historic evaluations be conducted for the structures before they could be demolished. If deemed to be historic through these evaluations, the demolition of these structures to make way for new housing would be a significant and unavoidable impact. Staff notes that the Irby- Kaplan-Zia and Pleasanton Mobilehome Park properties were ultimately not included in the nine sites that were selected for multifamily housing.
