addresses the church's concerns with the current operation of 7-Eleven. PUBLIC NOTICE Notices for this hearing were sent to surrounding property owners and tenants within a 1,000-foot radius of the site. Staff has provided the location and noticing maps as Exhibit H for reference. The public notice was also published in The Valley Times. At the time this report was published, Tracey and James Montoya, residents at 2786 Calle Alegre, emailed staff of their support of the proposed project. Any public comments received after publication of this report will be forwarded to the Commission. As discussed above, the Church in Pleasanton had previously provided comments as a result of the work session public hearing notice. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT A draft Initial Study/Negative Declaration (IS/ND) (Exhibit D) has been prepared for the proposed project. The draft IS/ND is in circulation for public comments between August 5, 2019 and August 26, 2019. To date, staff has not received any comments on the draft IS/ND. Based on the draft IS, staff believes that the project would not have any significant environmental impacts. Staff, therefore, believes that the Initial Study/Negative Declaration can be issued in conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). If the Planning Commission concurs with this environmental assessment, it must make the finding that the IS/ND adequately evaluates the potential environmental impacts of the project prior to taking action on the project. CONCLUSION As proposed by the applicant and conditioned by staff, staff believes that the uses will be compatible with the surrounding businesses and will not detrimentally affect the surrounding uses or properties. Conditions of approval have been included which will ensure that the safety and general welfare of the surrounding area, and the City in general, is maintained. Staff believes that the project's building and site design, as proposed and conditioned, is appropriate for the surrounding area, conforms to the purposes of the PUD Ordinance, and merit a favorable recommendation by the Commission.
