Bringhurst LLC at 990 Sycamore Road <br /> Initial Study and Negative Declaration <br /> b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a <br /> Williamson Act contract? <br /> c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning X <br /> of,forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code <br /> section 12220(g), timberland (as defined in Public <br /> Resources Code section 4526), or timberland zoned <br /> Timberland Production (as defined by Government <br /> Code section 51104(g))? <br /> d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest X <br /> land to non-forest use? <br /> e) Involve other changes in the existing environment, X <br /> which, due to their location or nature, could result <br /> in conversion of Farmland,to non-agricultural use or <br /> conversion of forest land to non-forest use? <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> a, c-e) The site is not designated as Prime Farmland per the State Farmland Mapping <br /> and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency. Although designed <br /> with a PUD-A land use by NSSP, the site is occupied by an existing single-family <br /> residence and no productive agricultural or forestry land is located on the site. <br /> The proposed development would not result in the conversion of any Prime <br /> Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance into non- <br /> agricultural use or forest to non-forest uses. Therefore, the project would result in <br /> no impact with respect to agricultural and forestry resources. <br /> b) The project site is in an urban setting. The existing approximately 3.28-acre site is <br /> occupied by a single-family residence. The current PUD-A zoning allows keeping <br /> of limited quantities of farm animals and the residents have two goats on site. The <br /> application proposes to change a northern portion of the site from the existing <br /> PUD-A to PUD-MDR so that the uses in the northern portion of the site would be <br /> more compatible to surrounding residential uses. The southern portion of the site <br /> would remain as PUD-A, which would continue allow agricultural uses, such as <br /> livestock and poultry raising for private, noncommercial use, orchards, etc. <br /> Additionally, there is no Williamson Act contract for the project site. Therefore, this <br /> would be less than significant impact. <br /> 5.3. AIR QUALITY <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING <br /> The project site is located within Pleasanton and Alameda County, and within the <br /> San Francisco Bay Area Air Basin (Air Basin). Air quality in the Air Basin is regulated by <br /> the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air Resources Board <br /> 14 <br /> 4 <br />at would be amenities, because a design for connection of a trail would be ready <br /> in the near term, she recommended funding be provided by the applicant to the City to be used <br /> for the highest priority projects in the bike and pedestrian master plan that deal with <br /> connectivity, especially in south Pleasanton. One in particular is the circuit bicyclists take from <br /> Sycamore to Foothill and then around Foothill. One of the key provisions is for a wider bike <br /> lane on Foothill so there is a logical connection to improving bicycling along the corridor here <br /> that is realistic in the near term and money can do that. She asked that staff look at other <br /> options along those lines, and how much of a contribution was realistic based on splitting the <br /> difference of the profit a land owner would receive by having the additional two parcels. <br /> Excerpt Planning Commission Minutes, July 11, 2018 Page 9 of 11 <br />, 2018 Page 3 of 11 <br />Way, existing lots range from 15,033 sq. ft.
