Public Review Process <br />The City of Pleasanton prepared and circulated a notice of preparation (NOP) for an <br />environmental impact report (EIR) on December 4, 2003. The NOP provided a brief <br />description of the proposed Plan and a brief summary of potential environmental <br />impacts. The NOP was distributed to agencies, the general public, and other concerned <br />individuals and provided a 30-day period for interested parties to submit comments <br />regarding environmental matters to be addressed in the EIR. <br />On February 8, 2005, the City convened a public scoping meeting to address the <br />potential impacts on the environment. Comments were received through the combined <br />NOP and public scoping process. <br />Based partially on the NOP and public scoping process, the City prepared a Draft <br />Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) that was published on June 28, 2006. The <br />CEQA-mandated 45-day public review period began on June 30, 2006 and was to end <br />on August 14, 2006. At the request of the Planning Commission the public review <br />period was extended by 15 days to a total of 60 days, and the comment period ended <br />on August 29, 3006. In addition to the comments received at public hearings conducted <br />by the City Planning Commission on July 12, 2006 and August 23, 2006, comment <br />letters were submitted by various public agencies and organizations and individuals. <br />Responses to all comments received were prepared and included in the Final EIR, <br />which was prepared in accordance with CEQA and the guidelines for the <br />implementation of CEQA. <br />IV.
