2 Development of Site Plan 1 would include the subdivision of the proposed project into 27 residential lots on the southern seven acres of the project site. The northern portion of the project site would include a three-acre park/open space with a bioretention area located along the northern site boundary. Site access would be provided by a new driveway off Thiessen Street and would connect to an internal roadway system. Site Plan 1 for the proposed project would require City approval of a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map and Design Review. Site Plan 2 for the proposed project would similarly include the subdivision of the project site into 27 residential lots, which would be developed into single-family residences with accessory dwelling units (ADUs) for a total of 54 dwelling units on the central seven acres of the project site. The northern portion of the project site would include a 2.4-acre park/open space with a bioretention area located along the northern site boundary. The southern portion of the site would include a 0.6-acre park. Each single-family residence would include garage parking for three vehicles and driveway parking for two vehicles. Street parking for guests would be available for up to 75 vehicles along an internal roadway and along Thiessen Street and Manoir Lane. Short- term bicycle parking for four bicycles would be provided within the park/open space areas. Site access would be provided by a new driveway off of Thiessen Street to the east and would connect to an internal roadway system. Site Plan 2 for the proposed project would require City approval of a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map and Design Review, as well as a General Plan Text Amendment (GPA). The GPA would remove Land Use Element Policy 12 from the General Plan, which currently requires park/open space area adjacent to Vineyard Avenue within Area 27 to be at least three acres in size. Raney understands that the City anticipates the GPA would be approved concurrently with preparation of the CEQA documentation for the proposed project. The applicant team has indicated their intention to pursue development of Site Plan 2 following City approval of the GPA. In addition, the applicant team has submitted a preliminary Senate Bill (SB) 330 application for Site Plan 2 of the proposed project anticipating that rezoning of the site is not required following City approval of the GPA. APPROACH Based on Raney’s preliminary review of the project and discussions with the City, Site Plan 1 for the proposed project would be consistent with the density anticipated for the site and analyzed in the City of Pleasanton 2023-2031 Housing Element Update. Pursuant to Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 21083.3 and Section 15183 of the CEQA Guidelines, a project that is consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified shall not require additional environmental review, except when it is necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site. This streamlines the review of such projects and reduces the need to prepare repetitive environmental studies. More specifically, the requirements of Section 15183(b) state the following: Docusign Envelope ID: 09BAAC01-CC65-497E-8E0E-465F9147B7C1Docusign Envelope ID: EFEF350E-42AA-4156-8084-8590989A320D
