Finding Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment. Facts in Support of Finding The City of Pleasanton has adopted the following measures which will reduce potential impacts related to operational energy use to a less-than-significant level: Mitigation Measure 4.14-2: Prior to issuance of any Grading or Demolition Permit, the City Engineer and the Chief Building Official shall confirm that the building plans and specifications incorporate the following features: a. Roofs that are strong enough and have roof truss spacing to hold photovoltaic panels, where feasible and cost effective, in compliance with Program 7.5 of the Energy Element of Pleasanton General Plan 2005 -2025. b. Solar water heating and/or photovoltaic-ready roofs in new construction, i.e., roofs with wiring installed for a roof-mounted photovoltaic system, where feasible, in compliance with Program 7.5 of the Energy Element of Pleasanton General Plan 2005 -2025. FINDINGS REGARDING FURTHER ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW In light of the entire administrative record for the Project, the City finds that there is no significant new information (within the meaning of CEQA) that requires preparation of a subsequent environmental impact report. (See CEQA Guideline 15162.) The City Council approved modifications to the Applicant's proposal that reflect a variant of EIR Alternative 3. Consistent with that alternative, the project would have connections to both Lund Ranch Road and Sunset Creek Lane. The location of that connection has been adjusted from the illustrative figures from Court C to Court B. Also, access to the street connections has been limited, which reduces the maximum traffic that will use either road compared to the EIR alternative. 31 units would connect to Sunset Creek Lane and 12 units would connect to Lund Ranch Road. The project has also been reduced to 43 units and Lot 32 has been reduced to 500 feet in elevation. LUND RANCH II (PUD-25)RESIDENTIAL PROJECT 23 FINDINGS
