Ordinance No. 2220 Page 2 of 26 Report/Tree Survey, Biological Resources Analysis, Geotechnical Investigation, Noise Assessment Study, and Health Risk Assessment Memorandum. The assessments identified measures sufficient to reduce project impacts to a less-than-significant level, and these measures are incorporated as conditions of approval. In addition, the technical studies identified no new information or changed circumstances that would require supplemental environmental review, is consistent with the previously approved EIR, is adequate to serve as the environmental documentation for this Project and satisfy all the requirements of the CEQA. Based on the foregoing, the City Council finds that pursuant to 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 peculiar to the project or its site that would result from the proposed project. Accordingly, no changes to mitigation measures, findings, or statement of overriding considerations are needed. SECTION 2. With respect to the Planned Unit Development application, PUD-114-01M, 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 proposed development plan is in the best interest of the public health, safety, and general welfare. The City Council finds that the proposed project, as conditioned, meets all applicable City standards concerning public health, safety, and welfare. The subject development would include the installation of all required on-site utilities, with connections to municipal systems in order to serve the new lots. 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 California Building Code, California Fire Code, and other applicable City codes. The proposed development is compatible with the adjacent uses and would be generally consistent with the existing scale of development and rural character of the area. Adequate setbacks would be provided between the new church and adjacent properties, including Dublin Creek. City Council finds the proposed PUD development plan is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general welfare, and that this finding can be made. As such, the City Council concludes this finding can be made. 2. Whether the proposed development plan is consistent with the Pleasanton General Plan and any applicable specific plan. The proposed development includes the construction of a new religious facility on an approximately 4.3-acre portion of the 16-acre site. Religious facilities are Conditionally Permitted in residential zones and therefore conforms to the General Plan Rural Density Residential land use designation, with the remaining agricultural parcel with Open Space. The proposed project would promote General Plan Programs and Policies to maintain a complete well-rounded community of desirable neighborhoods, a strong employment base, and a variety of community facilities including religious. Thus, the City Council finds the proposed development plan is consistent with the City's General Plan, and believes this finding can be made. 3. Whether the proposed development plan is compatible with the previously developed properties in the vicinity and the natural, topographic features of the site.
