freeway interchange at I-680/Stoneridge Drive, channel improvements to the Arroyos within Hacienda and downstream from Hacienda, public streets and utilities, the first phase of the City's Traffic Operations Center (TOC), etc., that benefitted the community. (The Arroyo improvements alone lowered the flood elevations of a number of single- family properties thereby removing their requirement for flood insurance.) The purpose of the proposed extension is to preserve the Hacienda regulations and conditions that were in place for these properties in full force and effect to December 31, 2018, enabling these properties to proceed with their development subject to these regulations and conditions for the next five years. The Development Agreement statute requires that the City Council find the proposed extension to the Development Agreements consistent with the General Plan. Staff has reviewed the General Plan and finds no area where the Development Agreement extension would conflict with the General Plan policies. Language in the Phase I and Phase II Development Agreements address changes in local rules, i.e., new General Plan policies and programs, zoning code changes, building code changes, etc. Based on this language, new projects on these sites would be subject to the current policies and programs of the Pleasanton General Plan including climate action plan, green building measures, etc., and would pay City and regional traffic impact fees. The three sites listed on Table 1 that only require a building permit would still be subject to the current requirements of the California Building Code and the Pleasanton Green Building Ordinance. PUBLIC NOTICE Notice was mailed to all property owners within a 1,000-foot radius of the eight sites covered by this application and to all property owners within Hacienda Phase I and Phase II. Attachment 9 is a copy of the noticing area. Attachment 8 is the question from Yelena and Yevgeniy Berenshteyn (4273 Passegi Court) on the proposal and the staff response. Staff has not received any other verbal or written communications from the noticed property owners as of the writing of the staff report. Any public comments or concerns will be forwarded to the City Council. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT The traffic resulting from these sites in Hacienda was addressed in the Final EIR for the City's 2005-2025 General Plan, and again in the Housing Element Supplemental EIR, confirming the conclusions of the original analysis. On January 4, 2012, the City Council certified a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report SEIR) and adopted the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Findings and a Statement of Overriding Considerations for the Housing Element update and Climate Action Plan General Plan Amendments and Rezonings. This SEIR was a supplement to the EIR prepared for the Pleasanton 2005-2025 General Plan which was certified in July 2009. These eight sites were considered and assumed to be completed in these CEQA documents, and, therefore, these previous CEQA analyses adequately evaluate the potential impacts of this extension. 5
