Resolution No. 98-90 <br />Page 4 <br /> <br /> C. After considering the Plan, the Study, the General Plan, the 580/680 <br /> Interchange Negative Declaration, all correspondence received and the <br /> testimony received at the noticed public hearing held on June 23, 1998 <br /> (hereafter the "record"), the Council approves and adopts the Plan and <br /> Study and incorporates them herein, and further finds that future <br /> development in Pleasanton will generate the need for the Transportation <br /> Improvement Projects and the Transportation Improvement Projects are <br /> consistent with the City's General Plan. <br /> <br /> D. For the purposes of CEQA, the Council finds that the adoption of the TVTD <br /> Fee is not a "project" under section 15378, subdivision (b)(5) of the CEQA <br /> Guidelines. While the TVTD Fee is intended to offset development impacts <br /> on regional traffic facilities by funding improvement to those facilities, the <br /> proceeds of the TVTD Fee are not, at this time, being committed to any <br /> specific project which "may result in a potentially significant physical <br /> impact on the environment," and, with one exception, it is not known at this <br /> stage which regional traffic improvements will be funded with such <br /> proceeds. The only improvement for which the proceeds of the TVTD Fee <br /> are being committed is the improvement of the 1-580/I-680 Interchange, for <br /> which the California Department of Transportation/California <br /> Transportation Commission approved a Negative Declaration <br /> (SCH#96042087) on September 19, 1996, because a negative declaration <br /> has been adopted for this project, it cannot be said that the interchange <br /> improvement "may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the <br /> environment." In any event, pursuant to section 15096, subdivision (f), this <br /> Council has reviewed said negative declaration, and the environmental <br /> effects identified in said negative declaration. <br /> <br /> E. The record establishes: <br /> <br /> 1. That there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the <br /> Transportation Improvement Projects and the impacts of the types of <br /> development for which the corresponding fee is charged in that new <br /> development in the City of Pleasanton -- both residential and <br /> non-residential -- will generate traffic which generates or contributes <br /> to the need for the Transportation Improvement Projects; and <br /> <br /> <br />
