forth in the PMC can continue to be made with the proposed modifications. Please refer to the attached draft ordinances included within Attachments 1 and 2 for a discussion of the PUD considerations and findings of conformances needed to approve the proposed Major Modifications to the PUD Development Plan. PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of these PUD Major Modifications have been published in the East Bay Times and were sent to all commercial and residential property owners within Hacienda. Staff has not received any verbal or written communications about the modifications as of the publication of this agenda report. Any public comments or concerns will be forwarded to the City Council. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT The proposed project is consistent with the development density, land uses, development standards and other key parameters established by the PUD development plan, which were reviewed pursuant to CEQA in a number of previously certified and/or adopted environmental documents. These include: the Environmental Impact Reports (EIR) for Hacienda Business Park approved in 1982 concurrently with Ordinance No. 1040 for Phase I of Hacienda under City Council Resolution No. 82-197; Initial Study and Negative Declaration approved in 1987 concurrently with Ordinance No. 1325 for Phase II of Hacienda under City Council Resolution No. 87-325; and the Supplemental Environmental Impact Reports (SEIR) for the Housing Element and Associated Land Use Changes and the Climate Action Plan approved in 2012 consistent with Ordinance Nos. 2044-2047 under City Council Resolution No. 12-492. Mitigation measures established in these prior environmental documents would remain applicable to projects within the PUD as amended. The established development capacity would also not exceed that which was included for Hacienda in the Pleasanton 2005-2025 General Plan and associated EIR, which was adopted and certified by the City Council in 2009 under City Council Resolution No. 09-312. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission finds that pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15183, Projects Consistent with a Community Plan, General Plan, or Zoning, additional environmental review is not required because there are no project-specific significant effects that are peculiar to the project or its site that would result from the proposed PUD amendments. Therefore, no further environmental review is required. CONCLUSION As proposed, staff believes that the proposed modifications are consistent with the original intent and purpose of the Hacienda PUD development plan as well as the City's General Plan. Staff believes that the proposed modifications, which result in non- substantive changes to the overall development program in Hacienda and are focused on streamlining operating rules and procedures for Hacienda and individual property owners have created a development plan and design guidelines that are easy to navigate and understand. This helps to meet the primary objective of attracting new businesses to Hacienda, while ensuring impacts of development are appropriately Page 11 of 12
