Moreover, input from the adjacent property owners and Pleasanton residents has been sought and obtained through one Work Session; further opportunity for public comment will occur at the Planning Commission and City Council hearings. Staff feels that through the PUD process the proposed project has provided residents, the developer, and the City with a development plan that optimizes the use of the infill site in a sensitive manner. Therefore, staff believes that this finding can be made. PLEASANTON DOWNTOWN ASSOCIATION The Pleasanton Downtown Association (PDA) Vitality Committee reviewed the plans and is not opposed to the inclusion of residential units as part of the proposed project. PUBLIC COMMENT Notices for this Work Session were sent to surrounding property owners and tenants within a 1,000-foot radius of the site. Staff has provided the location and noticing maps as Exhibit E for reference. At the time this report was published, staff had not received any additional comments beyond those provided at the Work Session meeting. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Pursuant to Government Code Section 65457, the proposed project is exempt from CEQA because the project complies with the certified EIR for the Downtown Specific Plan. Therefore, no environmental document accompanies this report. STAFF RECOMMENDATION 1. Find that the proposed PUD rezoning and development plan are consistent with the General Plan and Downtown Specific Plan; 2. Make the PUD findings for the proposed development plan as listed in the staff report; and 3. Adopt a resolution recommending approval of PUD-118, applications for: 1) certificate of appropriateness to demolish all existing structures; 2) rezoning of an approximately 13,040- square-foot site from 0 (Office) to Planned Unit Development — Mixed-Use (PUD-MU); and 3) Development Plan approval to construct: a) an approximately 2,229-square-foot, three- story mixed-use building with office/retail space on the first-floor and three apartments on the second- and third-floors; and b) three, three-story, detached single-family homes with potential office space on the first-floors and related site improvements, subject to the conditions of approval listed in Exhibit A, and forward the application to the City Council for public hearing and review.
