• design the project in a manner most appropriate for this use. Moreover, opportunity for public comment will occur at the Planning Commission and City Council hearings. Staff believes that through the PUD process the proposed project has provided the developer and the City with a development plan that optimizes the use of this infill site in a sensitive manner. Therefore, staff believes that this finding can be made. PUBLIC COMMENT Public notices were sent to property owners and tenants within a 1,000-foot radius of the project site. At the time this report was written, staff had not received any comments from the surrounding property owners or tenants. Staff will forward to the Commission any public comments as they are received. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT An Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration was approved as part of the prior approval (PUD-104/PUD-81-22-14M). The modified project is substantially consistent with the previously-approved project, which was analyzed in the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration, as documented in Exhibit E. No new information or changed circumstances have been identified per California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15162 that would require supplemental environmental review. Therefore, no supplemental environmental document accompanies this report. CONCLUSION Staff finds the revised site plan to be functional, with efficient on-site circulation, adequate provisions for parking, and well-designed landscaped features. The revised designs of the office building and parking structure are attractive and the architecture, colors, and materials will complement the surrounding development. Affected street intersections will be mitigated to provide for efficient flow and to maintain acceptable levels of service. The public would benefit from the improved pedestrian/bicycle access to/from the BART station, the new plaza area behind the BART garage, the joint City/BART police service center in the BART garage, and the new sidewalk on the Stoneridge Mall Shopping Center property. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission: 1. Find that the anticipated environmental impacts of the proposed modified campus development project are adequately evaluated in the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the previously-approved project (PUD-104/PUD-81-22-14M) and that none of the conditions in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for the preparation of subsequent environmental review have occurred; 2. Make the PUD findings for the modified development plan as discussed in the staff report; and 3. Adopt a resolution recommending approval of Cases PUD-104-1M and PUD-81-22-15M, subject to the conditions of approval listed in Exhibit A, and forward the applications to the City Council for public hearing and review.
