V. PUBLIC NOTICE Notices regarding the proposed design review application and related public hearing were mailed to property owners and tenants within 1,000 fl. of the subject property. At the writing of this report, staffhas received two comments regarding this proposal. Mr. Bob Byrd came in to review the plans. Although he supports the project, he feels the addition's design should have more of the look and feel of a retail venue. Mr. Chris Beratlis phoned in to comment that while he supports the project, he wants to verify that the applicant would either provide adequate off- street parking or pay in-lieu parking fees. VI. CONCLUSION The proposed development meets all applicable requirements of the Pleasanton Municipal Code, and is consistent with the provisions of the Downtown Specific Plan and the Downtown Design Guidelines. Staffbelieves the applicant has proposed an attractive retail addition. Staff believes that the architectural style of the addition is appropriate for Downtown and would complement the existing buildings on Railroad Avenue and the surrounding neighborhood. VII. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Additions to existing structures that do result in an increase of more than 50 percent of the floor area of the structures before the addition, or 2500 square feet, whichever is less; are categorically exempt (Class 1) from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Therefore, no environmental document accompanies this report. VIII.
