Ordinance No. 2217 Page 2 NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The approximately 14.58-acre site located at 1701 Springdale Avenue is rezoned from the C-R (p) (Regional Commercial — peripheral sites) District to the Planned Unit Development—Commercial-Office (PUD-C-O) District. SECTION 2. The Zoning Map of the City of Pleasanton, dated April 18, 1960, on file with the City Clerk, designating the dividing of the City into zoning districts, is hereby amended by Zoning Unit Map No. 508, attached hereto as Exhibit A, dated June 15, 2021, and incorporated herein by this reference. SECTION 3. With respect to the Planned Unit Development application, the City Council makes the following findings and determinations with respect to each of the considerations for approval of a PUD Development Plan as required by Section 18.68.110 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC): 1. Whether the plan is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general welfare: The City Council finds that the Project is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general welfare for the following reasons: The Project, as conditioned, meets all applicable City standards concerning public health, safety, and welfare. The Project would include the installation of all required on-site utilities with connections to municipal systems in order to serve the new development. With the recommended traffic mitigations, the Project will not generate volumes of traffic that cannot be accommodated by existing City streets and intersections in the area. The structures would be designed to meet the requirements of the Uniform Building Code, Fire Code, and other applicable City codes. Adequate access would be provided to the structures for police, fire, and other emergency response vehicles. Stormwater run-off from the site will be treated before leaving the site. Construction hour limits and dust suppression requirements would minimize construction impacts on the surrounding residents and tenants. The proposed development is compatible with the adjacent uses and would be consistent with the existing scale and character of the area. 2. Whether the plan is consistent with the City's General Plan and any applicable specific plan: The City Council finds the Project is consistent with the City's General Plan for the following reasons: The subject site's Land Use Designation of "Retail/Highway/Service Commercial; Business and Professional Offices" permits office uses. R&D and laboratory uses are not separately defined or identified as a land use category in the Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC); however, both are listed among a broad range of potential uses in the PMC's definition of "Light Industrial." R&D and laboratory uses are not expressly permitted in the C-R (p) District; thus, the Project would be consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation if the subject site is rezoned to PUD. The proposed 381,000 sq. ft. of building area would result in a floor area ratio (FAR) of 60% for the subject site. This complies with the 60% maximum FAR permitted for the designated land use, subject to the project providing sufficient amenities and mitigations to offset its impacts. With the rezoning, the Development Agreement would be consistent with the General Plan and also deliver additional amenities and benefits to the City, and the project environmental review determined that all project impacts would be adequately mitigated. The proposed
