not factored into these calculations since recycled water will be used for water features and landscaping. Based on the characteristics outlined in this section, staff finds that the impact and City infrastructure and traffic will be less than the original project and finds that the Growth Management Agreement is still valid. PUD FINDINGS Please refer to pages 12-14 of the attached Planning Commission staff report for a discussion of the considerations needed to approve the subject application. PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of the proposed project and related City Council meeting was sent to all property owners in Pleasanton that are within 1,000 feet of the Stoneridge Creek properties (the noticing area is depicted on the noticing maps attached to this report as Attachment 4, Exhibit D), and was also published in the local newspaper. Staff has not received any comments as of the publication of this report, and will forward to the City Council any public comments received after publication of this report. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT On August 24, 2010, the City Council certified a SEIR and adopted the CEQA Findings and a Statement of Overriding Considerations for the Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan Amendment/Staples Ranch. This SEIR was a supplement to the EIR prepared for the Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan Amendment/Staples Ranch Project, which was certified on February 24, 2009. The proposed project is within the development envelope analyzed in the EIR and SEIR and therefore no further environmental documentation is required. The SEIR included some mitigation measures that needed to be addressed prior to issuance of a building permit for a project (e.g., noise analysis). These mitigation measures have been addressed in the draft conditions of approval for this project. CONCLUSION The subject project would modify the previously-approved development of the northern 10 acres of the Stoneridge Creek property. Staff finds the proposed modifications to be an improvement over the prior approval, primarily because the scale and mass of the project would be reduced, and most parking would be accommodated in a sub-grade parking garage. Additionally, staff finds the project consistent with the General Plan, the Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan Amendment/Staples Ranch, and the Planned Unit Development — High Density Residential/Commercial zoning designation for the site. The project would allow additional housing opportunities for people over the age of 60 in Pleasanton. Page 8 of 9
