Exhibit B-5 FINAL MITIGATION MONITORING AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN PUD-33, OAK GROVE DEVELOPMENT/LIN PROPERTY City Council on October 2, 2007 INTRODUCTION The Oak Grove Planned Unit Development (PUD-33) is a residential/open space devel- opment on a portion of a 562-acre site located in south Pleasanton. The City is the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has prepared an Envi- ronmental Impact Report (EIR) for this project. The original project addressed by the Final EIR was a 98-unit subdivision; one transporta- tion alternative and three land use altematives were also addressed. The City selected "Alternative 4," one of the land use alternatives, as the project to be considered for ap- proval. Alternative 4, which the Final EIR identifies as the "Environmentally SuperiorAlter- native" (DEIR pp. S15-16), is a 51-unit subdivision on approximately 66.73 acres (77.13 acres including streets, drives, and graded areas) with 496 acres set aside as permanent open space dedicated to the City. The EIR found that this alternative would have generally the same types of CEQA impacts as the original project but that this alternative's pre- mitigation impacts would be reduced in comparison to the original- project, as a result of the diminished number of lots, or changes in the project's development footprint, or both. When a lead agency approves a project that it has found to have the potential to result in one or more significant impacts, it adopts mitigation measures in the form of changes or alterations incorporated into the project that would avoid or substantially lessen those im- pacts. Generally, the mitigation measures are put into effect by enforcement of permit conditions, agreements, or other instruments. In the case of Oak Grove, for impacts of the original project that would remain significant under Alternative 4, the mitigation measures and implementation mechanisms parallel those of the original project. The lead agency is required by California law (Public Resources Code Section 21081.6) to adopt a reporting or monitoring program to ensure that the mitigation measures are im- plemented. Monitoring provides for ongoing project oversight to ensue that project com- pliance is checked on a regular basis during (and, if necessary, continuing after) compli- ance. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15097(c)). The Mitigation Monitoring and Implementation Plan (MMIP) presented in the following ta- ble addresses the specific topic areas discussed in the environmental impact report for this project.
