Ordinance No, 2245 Page 2 of 34 WHEREAS, on March 21, 2023, an Addendum and MMRP was prepared pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15183 and 15162 for the Project and was adopted by the City Council; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the PUD development plan is consistent with the General Plan and the purposes of the PUD ordinance based on the considerations set forth in this ordinance. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. With respect to the Case No. PUD-136, the City Council makes the following findings and determinations with respect to each of the considerations for 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 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 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 Project 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 Property's Land Use Designation of Mixed Use permits residential uses; thus, the Project would be consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation. The proposed density of 40 dwelling units per approximate acre, plus 50 percent density bonus, is consistent with the General Plan. The Project would further several General Plan Programs and Policies including encouraging the reuse of vacant and underutilized parcels by development on an underutilized parking lot within the existing urban area; requiring higher residential and commercial densities in the proximity of transportation corridors and hubs such as the nearby West Dublin Pleasanton BART station; assuring that new major commercial, office, and institutional centers are adequately served by transit and by pedestrian and bicycle facilities; and encouraging new infill housing to be developed and for the City to attain a variety of housing sizes, types, densities, designs, and prices which meet the existing and projected needs of all economic segments of the community with the Project providing studios to three-bedroom units and more than 16 percent of the total units produced (24 percent of the base units, before density bonus) will be affordable to low-income households. The Project's environmental review determined that the Project will present no new or more severe significant impacts, and no unstudied impacts that are peculiar to the parcel. Furthermore, the Project would be consistent with all of the objective standards set forth in the 2012 Housing Design Standards and Guidelines, with the exception of two standards for which waivers would be granted pursuant to State Housing Density Bonus Law.
