Discussion a) The subject properties are designated Retail/I [ighway/Service Commercial, Business and Profes- sional Offices by the Land Use Element of Pleasanton's current General Planl. This land use designation permits a maximum floor area ratio of 60% and a midpoint floor area ratio of 35%. At a proposed floor area ratio of 27.9%, which includes the garden center, the proposed project conforms to these standards of the Pleasanton General Plan. Therefore, this would be catego- rized as no-impact. b) The existing parcel is located in the Stanley Business Park and is zoned PUD - C (Planned Unit Development -Commercial) District. The City Council approved the Stanley Business Park PUD in December 8, 1981, under PUD-81-15 (Ordinance #1010). The PUD approval made spe- citic automotive-related uses, e.g., repair, sales, etc., and a limited range of commercial uses permitted uses. However, the proposed neighborhood commercial uses will require approval of the PUD development plan modification, which is considered to be compatible with the existing uses of the business park and area. Therefore, this would be categorized as a less-than- significant-impact. c) The proposed development will not conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan for the site or surrounding area. Therefore, this would be categorized as no-impact. 10. MINERAL RESOURCES Environmental Setting The subject site has not been identified to have mineral resource deposits.
