IX. FISCAL IMPACT The project developer would be required to pay the per unit development fees specified by the Vineyard Avenue Specific Plan Financing Plan and school impact fees. The homes covered by this application would pay property taxes that would go to offset their impact to City services including police, fire, support staff, etc. X. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Environmental review for the proposed project was undertaken with the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) approved by the City Council for the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan in conformance with the standards of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). There are no substantial changes to the project or to the circumstances under which the project is being undertaken that involve new significant environmental effects or that substantially in- crease the severity of previously identified effects. Furthermore, there is no new information of substantial importance, which was unknown at the time that the FEIR was approved by the City Council regarding the project or its effects, mitigation measures, or alternatives. Any previously identified effects or impacts are mitigated to a level of insignificance, with the mitigation meas- ures incorporated into the project's design or imposed on the project pursuant to the conditions of approval. Therefore, no new environmental document accompanies this staff report. XI. CONCLUSION Staff believes that the proposed project is very well designed and in keeping with the themes, policies, and requirements of the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan. Staff believes that the proposed project is designed in a manner that is compatible with and sensitive to the restric- tions posed by the site and by surrounding properties. The proposal meets the letter and/or the spirit of the applicable requirements of the Specific Plan; it will include comprehensive design guidelines; and it will implement Green Building Measures. XII. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the City Council approve Case PUD-99-14 by taking the following actions: 1. Find that the proposed PUD development plan conforms to the Pleasanton General Plan, the Vineyard A venue Corridor Specific Plan, and the purposes of the PUD Ordinance; 2.
