Ordinance No. 2282 <br />Page 6 of 9 <br />F. The parties entered into the Fifth Amendment to Development Agreement (the <br />“Fifth Amendment”), as approved by the City Council by its Ordinance 2249. The Fifth <br />Amendment was recorded on March 4, 2024, as Instrument No. 2024031835 in the Official <br />Records of Alameda County. It provides that the Agreement shall terminate July 1, 2024. <br />G. 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, <br />secure the orderly development of the shopping center expansion and provide greater <br />opportunities for traffic management and cohesive, attractive site design and improvements and <br />related economic benefits to the City, and to facilitate the future development of a <br />comprehensive master plan for the shopping center, the City has determined that this Sixth <br />Amendment is an appropriate supplement to the Agreement. <br />H. The Agreement originally permitted an expansion of 380,000 square feet, which <br />was reduced to 362,790 square feet due to construction of P. F. Chang's and the Cheesecake <br />Factory. The permitted remaining expansion was covered by the mitigated negative declaration <br />adopted in connection with the original Development Agreement, as well as considered as part <br />of the EIR for the Pleasanton 2005-2025 General Plan certified in July 2009, and the SEIR for <br />the Housing Element Update and Climate Action Plan General Plan Amendments certified in <br />January 2012, and addressed in the Addendum for the Stoneridge Mall Commercial <br />Replacement and Expansion Project dated April 16, 2019. In addition, the cumulative impacts <br />of the development permitted under the Agreement and this Sixth Amendment, plus all <br />development proposed under the City of Pleasanton’s 2023-2031 Housing Element, was <br />studied in the Program Environmental Impact Report (SCH 2022040091) for that Housing <br />Element certified by the City Council on January 26, 2023, by Resolution No. 23-1357. This <br />Sixth Amendment merely extends the term of the previously approved Agreement and is <br />consistent with the General Plan, and there are no impacts peculiar to the parcel or unstudied <br />impacts relevant to this Sixth Amendment. <br />I. On May 8, 2024, after conducting a duly noticed public hearing, the City Planning <br />Commission recommended the City Council approve this Sixth Amendment, based on the <br />following findings and determinations: this Sixth Amendment is consistent with the objectives, <br />policies, general land uses and programs specified in the vested General Plan; is compatible <br />with the uses authorized in and the vested regulations prescribed for the land use districts (C- R <br />(Regional Commercial and PUD-MU (Planned Unit Development – Mixed Use)) in which the <br />Property is located; is in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good land use <br />practices; will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the City or the <br />region surrounding the City; will not adversely affect the orderly development of property or the <br />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 />J. Thereafter, on June 4, 2024, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing <br />on this Sixth Amendment and made the same findings and determinations as the Planning <br />Commission. On that same date, the City Council introduced the Ordinance. On June 18, 2024, <br />the City Council approved this Sixth Amendment by adopting Ordinance _______. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the authority contained in California Government Code <br />Sections 65864-65869.5, and in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises of the <br />parties herein contained, the parties agree to amend the Agreement as follows: <br />1. Section 2.2 is hereby amended and restated as follows: <br />Page 27 of 248
