Docusign Envelope ID: 3D940908-F9E6-4E95-8861-1EA134A568D0 Section 1. Recommended Findings for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) With respect to CEQA, the Planning Commission finds it has independently reviewed and analyzed the 15183 Consistency Checklist prepared for the Project pursuant to the City of Pleasanton 2023-2031 (6th Cycle) Housing Element Update Environmental Impact Report (SCH# 2022040091) (Housing Element Update Final EIR or FEIR) and has considered the information contained therein, prior to recommending approval of the Project. The Planning Commission further finds the CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 Consistency Checklist prepared for the Project pursuant to the City of Pleasanton Housing Element Update Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) satisfies the requirements of CEQA and represents the independent judgment and analysis of the City of Pleasanton as lead agency for the Project. Accordingly, the Planning Commission recommends the City Council make the following findings for adoption of the 15183 Consistency Checklist prepared for the Project pursuant to the City of Pleasanton Housing Element Update Environmental Impact Report (FEIR): 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 and Housing Element Update 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 Housing Element Update FEIR, and 4 There are no adverse impacts that are more severe than those previously identified in the Pleasanton General Plan 2005-2025 FEIR and Housing Element Update FEIR. This evaluation concludes the proposed project qualifies for an exemption from additional environmental review under Section 15183 because it is consistent with the development density and land use characteristics established by the City, as analyzed by the Pleasanton General Plan 2005-2025 FEIR and Housing Element Update FEIR. Section 2: Recommended Findings for Annexation (P22-1089) With respect to annexation, the project site is designated as Site 22 in the City's Housing Element. The project site is located just outside of the City limits but within Pleasanton's Sphere of Influence (SOI) and Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). Prior to development of the proposed project, the project site would need to be annexed into the City of Pleasanton, and a segment of Foothill Road in Alameda County abutting the project site, consistent with City and LAFCO policies as well as Program 1.10 of the Housing Element. Accordingly, the Planning Commission finds and recommends the City Council approve annexation of the project site and adjacent right of way because it would represent a logical and orderly extension of urban growth and the City's boundaries, which would ensure the project site would be developed in a comprehensive and thoughtful manner consistent with other nearby lands. Moreover, as the City processes development applications consistent with the Housing Element Update for the project site, these applications are reviewed by the City for compliance with the goals, policies, P22-1089, PUD -147, Tract 8522 PC -2024-14, June 26, 2024
