On January 4, 2012, the City Council certified a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report SEIR) and adopted the CEQA Findings and a Statement of Overriding Considerations for the Housing Element and Climate Action Plan General Plan Amendment and Rezonings Supplemental EIR. This SEIR was a supplement to the EIR prepared for the Pleasanton 2005-2025 General Plan which was certified in July 2009. The 362,790-square-foot expansion of the Mall was evaluated and mitigated as part of these certified CEQA documents which are available upon request as part of Exhibit C. Since certification of these CEQA documents, conditions have not changed such that the expansion would result in new or more substantial impacts beyond those already identified as part of the previously-certified documents. Therefore, no additional environmental review is required. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION This extension will enable Stoneridge Properties to continue to explore commercial expansion of the Stoneridge Shopping Center, broadening the City's tax base and allowing the continued vitality of the mall. This extension would not alter or modify the obligations and responsibilities described in the original Development Agreement or subsequent amendments as they apply to this shopping center. With expectations the mall will continue to evolve to remain competitive in the current retail environment, staff supports the request for the extension and recommends the Planning Commission provide a positive recommendation to the City Council.
