substantial changes or new information that has come to light. If there were Council support to make this finding, the EIR would need to be prepared before the project could be approved. He believed Council might want to go through the conditions of approval, and once the conditions have been discussed, Council would then go through the process of deciding whether or not the Negative Declaration is sufficient. Mayor Pico said that Council needs to decide whether the conditions of approval are adequate. Ms. Ayala noted that staff stated in its report that there is no basis for a subsequent or supplemental EIR. She asked staffto elaborate on this. Mr. Swift said the City Council is a responsible agency and not the lead agency. EBRPD was the lead agency for this project for the overall Master Plan. EBRPD made a finding that there are no significant impacts with the mitigation measures that it adopted as part of the project. The Council may use the Negative Declaration adopted in conjunction with its review of the project or, if Council can make specific findings as outlined in the staffreport that there are changes fi.om what EBRPD was aware ofwhan it adopted the Negative Declaration, then Council may request an EIR be prepared to address the new or different impacts. Ms. Ayala asked Ms. Hosterman what she was specifically referring to that caused her to believe impacts had changed since the Negative Declaration was approved by the EBRPD? Ms. Hostefinan believed that the new 2003 Baseline Traffic Report is new information and calls into question concerns related to future vehicle increases on aerial roadways. She did not believe that the traffic report provides solid numbers to tell Council what the impact of this project will have on this community, and more to the point, Pleasanton's quality of life. She believed this was sufficient to trigger a full EIR. Mr. Campbell was concerned about the construction of Remillard Road next to the wetland habitat. He did not want the wetland habitat to suffer any abuse. Mr. Brozosky asked Mr. Campbell if he would feel more secure if Council placed conditions on the construction of Remillard Road to preserve the wetland habitat? Specifically, limiting where the construction may be done outside Remillard Road and conditioning it so that the applicant cannot touch anything outside that road, which must be monitored. In response to a question by Mr. Campbell, Mr. Brozosky said the condition could be limited to construction and/or be in perpetuity. Mr. Campbell did not want to see anymore of the Park degraded. He wanted to preserve the integrity of the Park as much as possible. Pleasanton City Council 18 03/30/04 Minutes
