City of Pleasanton 2023-2031 (6th Cycle) Housing Element Update CEQA Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations FirstCarbon Solutions 131 Https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480022/FOF/21480022 Pleasanton Housing Element FOF.docx (xi) For documentary and informational purposes, all locally-adopted land use plans and ordinances, including, without limitation, general plans, specific plans and ordinances, master plans together with environmental review documents, findings, mitigation monitoring programs, and other documentation relevant to planned growth in the area; (xii) Any other written materials relevant to the lead agency’s compliance with this division or to its decision on the merits of the Project, including any drafts of any environmental document or portions thereof, which have been released for public review, and copies of studies or other documents relied upon in any environmental document prepared for the Project and either made available to the public during the public review period or included in the lead agency's files on the Project, and all internal agency communications, including staff notes and memoranda related to the Project or to compliance with this division; (xiii) The full written record before any inferior administrative decision-making body whose decision was appealed to a superior administrative decision-making body prior to the filing of litigation; and (xiv) Any additional items not included above if otherwise required by law. Recirculation Not Required During the public review period after the Draft Program EIR was published, the lead agency received certain additional information. Lead agency staff and consultants involved in preparing the various studies, reports and analyses included in the Program EIR have also presented additional information since the publication of the Draft Program EIR. Some of this information was contained in comments submitted on the Draft Program EIR, and in responses to those comments contained in the Final Program EIR. Other information was presented at or before public meetings/hearings on the Program EIR. The Program EIR incorporates additions, clarifications, modifications, and other changes, in response to comments and as determined appropriate by lead agency staff and required under CEQA. The lead agency has considered all relevant information including the opinions and comments of interested agencies, organizations and individuals. The lead agency finds that the additional information does not show that any of the following situations requiring recirculation identified in CEQA Guideline 15088.5 have occurred: 1. A new significant environmental impact that would result from the Housing Element Update (or any alternative) or from a new mitigation measure proposed to be implemented. 2. A substantial increase in the severity of an environmental impact would result unless mitigation measures are adopted that reduce the impact to a level of insignificance. 3. A feasible project alternative or mitigation measure considerably different from others previously analyzed would clearly lessen the significant environmental impacts of the project (or an alternative), but the project's proponents decline to adopt it. 4. The Draft Program EIR was so fundamentally and basically inadequate and conclusory in nature that meaningful public review and comment were precluded.
