The Planning Commission did not support the Housing Commission's interest for an increase in the overall density of the project and did not feel that the subject site could contain any more than the number of units being proposed. PUBLIC COMMENT Notice of the City Council's public hearing on this item were sent to all property owners and tenants living within a I,OOO-foot radius of the subject property. In addition, the City advertised the notice in the newspaper and posted the document in front of200 Old Bernal Avenue. Staff received comments from surrounding neighbors at the two neighborhood meetings as well as through phone calls. Comments from the neighbors are provided in the attached Planning Commission staff report. Staff has not received any additional comments pertaining to the proposed project as of the time that the City Council staff report was written. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT A draft Negative Declaration was prepared in conjunction with the proposed planned unit development plan. Based on the Initial Study and Negative Declaration, the project would not have a significant effect on the environment. The proposed project plans have been revised to avoid significant effects or mitigated by design to a point where the effects are insignificant, and there is no substantial evidence that the project as revised may have a significant effect. Staff has filed a Notice of Completion and a Mitigated Negative Declaration with the State Clearinghouse. No comments have been received from any responsible agencies. PUD CONSIDERATIONS The Zoning Ordinance of the Pleasanton Municipal Code sets forth the purposes of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) District and the considerations to be addressed in reviewing a PUD development plan proposal. Please see the Planning Commission Staff Report (Attachment 5) for an analysis of these considerations: 1. whether the plan is in the best interest of the public health, safety, and general welfare; 2. whether the plan is consistent with the City's General Plan; 3. whether the plan is compatible with previously developed properties in the vicinity and the natural, topographic features of the site; 4. whether the grading takes into account environmental characteristics and is designed in keeping with the best engineering practices to avoid erosion, slides, or flooding to have as minimal an effect upon the environment as possible; 5. whether streets and buildings have been designed and located to complement the natural terrain and landscape; SR:06:060 Page 10
