RESOLUTION NO. 15-743 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON ADOPTING A FINAL ADDENDUM TO THE INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR THE RECYCLED WATER PROJECT WHEREAS, on September 16, 2014, by Resolution No. 14-710, the City of Pleasanton City Council adopted a Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Recycled Water Project for the construction of up to approximately 22 miles (115,200 linear feet) of 6-inch to 18- inch pipeline as well as approximately 3.2 miles (16,500 lineal feet) of existing pipeline that will be repurposed from abandoned or existing potable pipelines (Proposed Project) in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and state and local guidelines implementing CEQA; and WHEREAS, after incorporating design efficiencies into the pipeline infrastructure for the Proposed Project, this resulted in the addition of 720 feet of new pipeline as well as the repurposing of an additional 9,850 feet of existing pipeline into the recycled water system, and the City, as the lead agency under CEQA, prepared an Addendum to the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration which was adopted by the City Council on January 15, 2015 by Resolution No. 15-730; and WHEREAS, after adoption of the Addendum in January 2015, the City voluntarily provided for a 14-day comment period and received one comment, a letter from Caltrans regarding the Proposed Project. Caltrans staff asked for graphics regarding where the Proposed Project would intersect Caltrans right-of-way along Dublin Blvd. and Fallon Rd. City staff provided clarification that the Proposed Project will not take place within any Caltrans right-of- way at Dublin Blvd. or Fallon Rd.; and WHEREAS, the City has prepared a Final Addendum to the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Proposed Project which provides clarification to Caltrans and concludes that the proposed pipeline alignment changes will not result in any new significant impacts, substantially increase the severity of the previously disclosed impacts or involve any of the other conditions related to changed circumstances or new information that can require a subsequent or supplemental EIR under Public Resources Code §21166 and CEQA Guidelines § 15162 beyond those impacts and conditions already identified in the City's Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration; it therefore is appropriate for the City to approve the proposed changes to the Proposed Project. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON DOES RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE AND ORDER THE FOLLOWING: SECTION 1. The City Council has: (1) independently reviewed and analyzed the CEQA Final Addendum and other information in the record and has considered the information contained therein prior to acting upon or approving the Proposed Project; (2) the CEQA Final Addendum to the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the Proposed Project has been completed in compliance with CEQA and is consistent with State and local guidelines implementing CEQA; and (3) the Final Addendum represents the independent judgment and analysis of the City as lead agency for the Proposed Project. The City designates the City's Director of Operation Services as the custodian of documents and records of proceedings on which this decision is based.
