Resolution No. PC-2023-15 <br />Page F. The City and Developer desire to extend the term of the Agreement. In order to <br />strengthen the planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning, secure <br />the orderly development of the shopping center expansion and provide greater opportunities for traffic <br />management and cohesive, attractive site design and improvements and related economic benefits to <br />the City, and to facilitate the future development of a comprehensive master plan for the shopping <br />center, the City has determined that this Fifth Amendment is an appropriate supplement to the <br />Agreement. <br /> <br />G. The Agreement originally permitted an expansion of 380,000 square feet, which was <br />reduced to 362,790 square feet due to construction of P. F. Chang's and the Cheesecake Factory. The <br />permitted remaining expansion was covered by the mitigated negative declaration adopted in <br />connection with the original Development Agreement, as well as considered as part of the EIR for the <br />Pleasanton 2005-2025 General Plan certified in July 2009, and the SEIR for the Housing Element <br />Update and Climate Action Plan General Plan Amendments certified in January 2012, and addressed <br />in the Addendum for the Stoneridge Mall Commercial Replacement and Expansion Project dated <br />April 16, 2019. In addition, the cumulative impacts of the development permitted under the <br />Agreement and this Fifth Amendment, plus all development proposed under the City of Pleasanton’s <br />2023-2031 Housing Element, was studied in the Program Environmental Impact Report (SCH <br />2022040091) for that Housing Element certified by the City Council on January 26, 2023, by <br />Resolution No. 23-1357. This Fifth Amendment merely extends the term of the previously approved <br />Agreement by two years and is consistent with the General Plan, and there are no impacts peculiar to <br />the parcel or unstudied impacts relevant to this Fifth Amendment. <br /> <br />H. On November 8, 2023, after conducting a duly noticed public hearing, the City <br />Planning Commission recommended the City Council approve this Fifth Amendment, based on the <br />following findings and determinations: this Fifth Amendment is consistent with the objectives, <br />policies, general land uses and programs specified in the City's General Plan; is compatible with the <br />uses authorized in and the regulations prescribed for the land use district (C- R (Regional <br />Commercial)) in which the Property is located; is in conformity with public convenience, general <br />welfare and good land use practices; will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare <br />of the City or the region surrounding the City; will not adversely affect the orderly development of <br />property or the preservation of property values within the City; and will promote and encourage the <br />development of the Project by providing a greater degree of certainty with respect thereto. <br /> <br />I. Thereafter, on December 5, 2023, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing <br />on this Fifth Amendment and made the same findings and determinations as the Planning <br />Commission. On that same date, the City Council introduced the Ordinance. On December 5, 2023, <br />the City Council approved this Fifth Amendment by adopting Ordinance No. XXXX. <br /> <br />NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the authority contained in California Government Code Sections <br />65864-65869.5, and in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises of the parties herein <br />contained, the parties agree to amend the Agreement as follows: <br /> <br />1. Section 2.2 is hereby amended and restated as follows: <br /> <br />2.2 Term. The term of this Agreement and Developer's rights and <br />obligations hereunder shall terminate on December 31, 2024, unless the <br />termination date is extended to December 31, 2025, pursuant to Section <br />19.16 below. <br />
