Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the City of Pleasanton Downtown Specific Plan I Purpose State of California Public Resources Code Section 21081.6(a)(1) requires a lead or responsible agency that approves or carries out a project where an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has identified significant environmental effects to adopt a reporting or monitoring program for the changes made to the project or conditions of project approval,adopted in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment.The City of Pleasanton(the"City")is the lead agency for the EIR prepared for the City of Pleasanton Downtown Specific Plan(SCH No.2001032014),hereafter referred to as"Proposed Plan,"and therefore is responsible for the adoption and implementation of the required mitigation monitoring and reporting program.An EIR has been prepared for the Proposed Plan that addresses potential environmental impacts and, where appropriate, recommends measures to mitigate these impacts. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) has been prepared in conformance with Public Resources Code Section 21081.6(a)(1).It is the intent of this program to: 1. Verify satisfaction of the required mitigation measures of the EIR; 2. Provide a methodology to document implementation of the required mitigation; 3. Provide a record of the monitoring program; 4. Identify monitoring responsibility; 5. Establish administrative procedures for the clearance of mitigation measures; 6. Establish the frequency and duration of monitoring;and 7. Utilize existing review processes wherever feasible. The MMRP describes the procedures that will be used to implement the mitigation measures adopted in connection with the approval of the Proposed Plan and the methods of monitoring such actions. A monitoring program is necessary only for impacts which would be significant if not mitigated. If,during the course of project implementation,any of the mitigation measures identified cannot be successfully implemented,the City shall immediately inform any affected responsible agencies. The City,in conjunction with any affected responsible agencies,will then determine if modification to the project is required,and/or whether alternative mitigation is appropriate. The following consists of a monitoring program table noting the responsible entity for mitigation monitoring,the timing,and a list of all project-related mitigation measures. ption of Statement of Overriding Considerations The City Council has weighed the economic,legal,social,technological,and other benefits of the proposed Plan,as set forth above in Section II.D,against the significant unavoidable impacts of the Plan identified in the Draft EIR(and discussed above in Section II.A). The City Council hereby determines that those benefits outweigh the risks and adverse environmental impacts of the Plan,and further determines that the Plan's significant unavoidable impacts are acceptable. Accordingly, the City Council adopts the Statement of Overriding Considerations, recognizing that significant unavoidable impacts will result from implementation of the Plan.Having(i)adopted all feasible mitigation measures,as stated herein and discussed in the Draft EIR;(ii) rejected alternatives to the Plan, as stated herein and discussed in the Draft EIR;and(iii) recognized the significant unavoidable impacts of the Plan, the City Council hereby finds that each of the separate benefits of the proposed Plan, as stated herein, is determined to be unto itself an overriding consideration, independent of other benefits, that warrants approval of the Plan and outweighs and overrides its significant unavoidable impacts,and thereby justifies the approval of the City of Pleasanton Downtown Specific Plan. 27 would result in an operational emissions increase of 4,000 MTCO2e per year and an energy consumption increase of 168,000 million BTU per year compared to existing conditions.
