Act (CEQA). Furthermore, in-fill development projects on sites of five acres or less that have no habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species, that can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services, that are consistent with the General Plan and zoning regulations, and would have no significant effects on traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality are also categorically exempt (Class 32) from CEQA. Staffbelieves that the project meets the conditions of the Class 11 and 32 exemptions. Therefore, no environmental document accompanies this report. FISCAL IMPACT No sales tax revenue would be generated and property tax revenue would decrease until a new commercial building is approved by the City and constructed. In the interim, emergency response requests for City police and fire services would reduce by replacing the sports bar/restaurant with an office parking lot. Overall, staff believes that approval of the application will have little or no net fiscal impact on the City. CONCLUSION Based on the failings of the prior two tenants, it does not appear that the site can financially support another restaurant or sports bar, most likely duc to its location at the end of a cul-de-sac and poor visibility from the surrounding streets. Therefore, staff does not have an issue with removing the existing building. The proposed parking lot would provide additional parking to serve the needs of the tenants in the Pleasanton Corporate Commons campus. As conditioned, staffbelieves that the parking lot is well designed, integrates seamlessly with the existing parking lots, and provides adequate planter areas for landscaping. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the City Council approve Case PUD-81-22-11M by taking the actions previously listed on pages 1-2 of this report.
