P23-0177 & Tract 8672, 3200 Hopyard Road Planning Commission 12 of 12 or community plan, with which the project is consistent, (2) are potentially significant off -site impacts and cumulative impacts which were not discussed in the prior EIR prepared for the zoning action, general plan, or community plan, or (3) are previously identified significant effects which, as a result of substantial new information which was not known at the time the EIR was certified, are determined to have a more severe adverse impact than discussed in the prior EIR. Section 15183(c) further specifies that if an impact is not peculiar to the parcel or to the proposed project, has been addressed as a significant effect in the prior EIR, or can be substantially mitigated by the imposition of uniformly applied development policies or standards, then an additional EIR need not be prepared for that project solely on the basis of that impact. As illustrated by the attached Consistency Checklist, the proposed project is found to be in conformance with the analysis and conclusions of the Pleasanton General Plan 2005-2025 FEIR. This determination is based on the following criteria: 1. There are no new significant effects peculiar to the proposed project or its site; 2. There are no new significant effects that were not previously evaluated in the Pleasanton General Plan 2005-2025 FEIR; 3. There are no new significant off-site or cumulative impacts that were not analyzed in the Pleasanton General Plan 2005-2025 FEIR, and 4. There are no adverse impacts that are more severe than those previously identified in the Pleasanton General Plan 2005-2025 FEIR. This evaluation concludes the proposed project qualifies for an exemption from additional environmental review under Section 15183 because it is c onsistent with the development density and land use characteristics established by the City, as analyzed by the Pleasanton General Plan 2005-2025 FEIR. CONCLUSION The project is consistent with the density and land uses allowed for and zoned at this site, and with the exception of one incentive and 11 waivers for which have been requested pursuant to SDBL, would be consistent with all prescribed objective site development standards of the RM-1,500 District and other applicable City standards. The project provides 57 housing units, including nine affordable housing units, which assists the City in meeting its housing goals. Although not a basis for approval or denial of the project, staff finds the building design and overall landscaping, open space to be attractive and the architectural style, finish colors, and materials will complement the surrounding development and generally conform to the Design Review requirements.
