Exhibit B ESAr T550 Kearny Street www.esassoc.com V° Suite 800 San Francisco,CA 94108 415.896.5900 phone 415.896.0332 fax MEMORANDUM Date: June 5, 2017 To: Eric Luchini, City of Pleasanton Community Development Department, Planning Division CC: Project File From: Christy Herron, CEQA Project Manager Subject: Review of Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report For the Johnson Drive Economic Development Zone The City of Pleasanton (City) is moving forward with the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (Final SEIR, or SEIR) for the Johnson Drive Economic Development Zone (EDZ, proposed EDZ, or project). The SEIR was prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Pub. Res. Code §21000 et seq.) and the state CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. §15000 et seq.). More than a year has elapsed since the Final SEIR was published in March 2016. ESA has, at the City's request, reviewed the Final SEIR to determine whether new information has arisen that could trigger its recirculation prior to the City's consideration of it for certification. Briefly, it has not. The reasons for this conclusion are provided below. A. CEQA Requires Recirculation in Limited Circumstances Recirculation of a Draft EIR prior to certification is required only when "significant new information is added to the EIR after public notice is given of the availability of the Draft EIR for public review under Section 15087 but before certification" (Pub. Res. Code §21092.1; CEQA Guidelines §15088.5). The term "information" can refer to "changes in the environmental setting as well as additional data or other information" (CEQA Guidelines §15088.5). "Significant new information" is defined as a disclosure showing that: 1. A new significant environmental impact would result from the project or from a new mitigation measure proposed to be implemented;
