<br /> A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
<br /> PLEASANTON APPROVING A DESIGN REVIEW APPLICATION AT
<br /> 1700 STONERIDGE MALL ROAD FOR SIMON PROPERTY GROUP ON BEHALF OF
<br /> STONERIDGE PROPERTIES, LLC [P18-0340]
<br /> WHEREAS, on December 5, 2018, Simon Property Group, on behalf of Stoneridge Properties
<br /> LLC, applied for Design Review approval to demolish the existing Sears Department store
<br /> (approximately 176,151-square-feet) and parking structure, and construct a
<br /> 255,420-square-foot development including new retail, grocery, cinema, and specialty lifestyle
<br /> health club uses (net increase of 79,269 square feet) at the Stoneridge Shopping Center
<br /> located at 1700 Stoneridge Mall Road; and
<br /> WHEREAS, zoning for the property is C-R(M) — (Regional Commercial — Mall) District; and
<br /> WHEREAS, on April 24, 2019, the Planning Commission held a duly-noticed public hearing
<br /> and considered relevant exhibits, recommendations of the City staff concerning this
<br /> application, and received testimony from the applicant and interested parties.
<br /> NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of
<br /> Pleasanton, based on the entire record of proceedings, including the oral and written staff
<br /> reports and all public comment and testimony resolve, declare, determine and order the
<br /> following:
<br /> Section 1: Findings for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Review
<br /> The Planning Commission finds that the proposed project is consistent with the development
<br /> density, land uses, development standards and other key parameters established by the
<br /> Pleasanton Municipal Code, General Plan, and Development Agreement, which were reviewed
<br /> pursuant to CEQA in a previously certified and/or adopted environmental document including
<br /> the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) prepared for the Pleasanton 2005-2025 General Plan,
<br /> certified in July 2009 which was adopted and certified by the City Council in 2009 under City
<br /> Council Resolution No. 09-312. Mitigation measures established in the prior environmental
<br /> document would remain applicable to projects. The net increase of 79,269 square feet is below
<br /> and therefore consistent with the 362,790-square-foot expansion of the Stoneridge Shopping
<br /> Center that was established in the approved Development Agreement and considered in the
<br /> EIR prepared for the Pleasanton 2005-2025 General Plan. In addition, an Environmental
<br /> Addendum dated April 16, 2019 and Traffic Analysis dated April 17, 2019 were completed for
<br /> this project to verify the proposed project is consistent with the previously approved EIR and
<br /> that it is adequate to serve as the environmental documentation for this Project and satisfy all
<br /> the requirements of the CEQA.
<br /> Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission finds that pursuant to CEQA Guidelines
<br /> Section 15183, Projects Consistent with a Community Plan, General Plan, or Zoning,
<br /> additional environmental review is not required because there are no project-specific
<br /> significant effects that are peculiar to the project or its site that would result from the proposed
<br />t of any work.
