comment. Once State HCD approval is obtained, the Final Housing Element Update will be <br />presented to the Planning Commission and City Council for adoption with the adopted Final <br />Housing Element submitted to State HCD for certification. <br />PUBLIC NOTICE <br />Notice of this item was published in The Valley Times. In addition the City sent notification to <br />owners and tenants within 1,000 -feet of the Irby - Kaplan -Zia Site and the CM Capital Site, as <br />well as all interested parties who have provided contact information during the Housing <br />Element Update process. Staff received comments from Citizens for a Caring Community and <br />George Bowen. The letters has been included within Exhibit H for your reference. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT <br />On January 4, 2012, the City Council certified an SEIR and adopted the California <br />Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Findings and a Statement of Overriding Considerations for <br />the Housing Element Update and Climate Action Plan General Plan Amendment and <br />Rezonings. This SEIR was a supplement to the EIR prepared for the Pleasanton 2005 -2025 <br />General Plan which was certified in July 2009. <br />CEQA states that a lead agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if <br />some changes or additions are necessary, but no major revisions to the EIR are required <br />(including those associated with new environmental impacts, alternatives, or mitigation <br />measures). Because no land use changes are recommended to meet the City's RHNA <br />requirements, and any potential land use changes associated with zoning changes are <br />anticipated to be minor, environmental effects associated with the Housing Element Update <br />are adequately evaluated in the previously certified SEIR. Staff has prepared a Draft <br />Addendum included within Exhibit I. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Planning Commission review the 2015 - 2023 Draft Housing <br />Element and recommend the City Council authorize its submittal to the State of California <br />Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). <br />Staff Planner: Jennifer Wallis, (925) 931 -5607, jwallis(d cLpleasanton.ca.us <br />Case No. P14 -0440, City of Pleasanton Planning Commission <br />Page 12 of 12 <br />
