P21-1173, PUD-146, and Tract 8631 PC-2024-17, October 23, 2024 2 of 34 NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Pleasanton, based on the entire record of proceedings, including the oral and written agenda reports and all public comment and testimony: 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 September 2024 Addendum to the Downtown Specific Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (“DSP FEIR”)(SCH# 2001032014) and has considered the information contained therein, prior to recommending approval of the Project. The Planning Commission further finds the Addendum to the DSP FEIR satisfies the requirements of CEQA and represents the independent judgment and analysis of the City of Pleasanton as le ad agency for the Project. The Planning Commission recommends the City Council make the following findings : 1. There have not been any substantial changes in the Project that require major revisions of the DSP FEIR because of new significant effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; 2. There have not been any substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the DSP FEIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; and 3. There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the DSP FEIR was certified as complete, that shows any of the following: (a) the project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the DSP FEIR; (b) significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the DSP FEIR; (c) mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (d) mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the DSP FEIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. Based upon the evidence submitted, none of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, the Planning Commission recommends that based upon the substantial evidence in the entire record, the City Council adopt , the September 2024 Addendum to the DSP FEIR (SCH# 2001032014) because only minor technical changes or additions are necessary (a change in use is proposed as allowed by the Docusign Envelope ID: 1C31F480-26DA-46E0-9342-FE27B8023A42
