9. The discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision would not result in violation of existing requirements prescribed by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). No violation currently exists and sewer capacity is available for this subdivision. The project would not discharge any waste other than domestic sewage and all sewage would be discharged into the City's sanitary sewer system for ultimate treatment. Urban stormwater runoff is required to meet the City's RWQCB permit requirements for urban development. PUBLIC NOTICE Notices for this hearing were sent to surrounding property owners and tenants within a 1,000-foot radius of the site in addition to the entire Valley Trails Neighborhood. Staff has provided the location and noticing maps as Exhibit J for reference. At the time this report was published, staff has not received public comments as a result of this hearing's notification. Staff has included public comments received prior to and since the workshop as Exhibit K. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT A draft Initial Study/Negative Declaration has been prepared for the proposed project. Based on the Initial Study, the proposed development would not have any adverse effects on the environment. Therefore, staff believes that the Negative Declaration can be issued in conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, pursuant to Section 15063. If the Planning Commission finds that the project would not have a significant effect on the environment, it must adopt a resolution recommending approval of the attached draft Negative Declaration. The Negative Declaration will be forwarded to the City Council as part of the staff report, along with any public comments received on the Negative Declaration, consistent with the State CEQA Guidelines. Staff has included the draft Negative Declaration as Exhibit L for the Commission's consideration. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION Staff closely worked with the applicant on the proposed development and appreciates the applicant's cooperation in revising the proposal to address comments from the Planning Commission and staff concerning site layout, the clubhouse, the tot lot and landscape improvements within Valley Trails Park, and other elements of the project. The proposed development is well-designed and would be compatible with the Valley Trails Neighborhood. Staff, therefore, believes that the General Plan amendment, rezoning and PUD development plan, Development Agreement, and Vesting Tentative Map merit a favorable recommendation to the City Council from the Planning Commission, subject to the conditions in Exhibit A.1 and Exhibit A.2.
