Resolution No. PC-2025-23 Page 2 of 3 NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Pleasanton, that prior to taking action of the Project, and at a properly noticed public meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed oral staff reports, took testimony, and received into the record all pertinent documents related to the Project (collectively the “Record Evidence”). The Planning Commission’s determination is based on the Record Evidence, which is incorporated into this resolution by reference. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Pleasanton: Section 1: The Planning Commission finds that the proposed code amendments are statutorily exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) in that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the amendments may have a significant effect on the environment. These amendments are limited to process-related changes, including updates to the City’s procedures for design review, noticing requirements, appeal processes, and other administrative streamlining measures. The proposed changes do not authorize any specific development or land use activity, nor do they involve any relaxation of development standards that could result in physical impacts to the environment. Specifically, the amendments clarify and reorganize existing procedural requirements, improving consistency with the California Government Code and ensuring transparency and efficiency in City review processes. All future development projects remain subject to existing environmental regulations, and other applicable health and safety requirements, including the California Building Code and Fire Code. Any future project that could have a physical impact on the environment must undergo separate, project-specific CEQA review at the time of application, as appropriate. Because the proposed amendments do not result in any physical changes to the environment or authorize any changes in land use intensity or type, there is no possibility that these amendments may have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, the action qualifies for exemption under Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 2: The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve Case P25-0352, Chapters 18.08, 18.12, 18.20, 18.22, 18.68, 18.103, 18.104, 18.105, 18.110, 18.116, 18.12 4, 18.128, 18.132, and 18.144 of the PMC to implement modifications to Design Review, noticing, appeals, and other process streamlining , as shown in Attachment 1 to this resolution. Section 3: The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council rescind City Council Resolution No. 91-132, which established public notification radius requirements that far exceed Gover nment Code Sections 65090 and 65091. Section 4: This resolution shall become effective immediately upon its passage and adoption. Docusign Envelope ID: 41391B8A-D45A-4EA6-984D-8FD466A2D754
