Background In February of 2014, FCS prepared an Addendum to the City of Pleasanton Housing Element and Climate Action Plan General Plan Amendment and Rezonings Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (Supplemental EIR)for the Summer Hill Apartment Community(PUD-81-30-88D)(2014 Addendum). The subject property(project site)was included as a potential site for rezoning in the Supplemental EIR as site number 13, located at 5850 West Las Positas Boulevard. Within the Supplemental EIR, all 12.6 acres of the site were considered for potential rezoning for multi-family development,with a maximum number of 378 multi-family apartment units. However,the project site considered in the 2014 Addendum and herein involves only 5.9 of the 12.6 acres previously evaluated in the Supplemental EIR. The 2014 Addendum considered the previously proposed Summer Hill Apartment Community project (2014 project), which included the demolition of an 88,512-square-foot commercial office building, and the subsequent construction of 177 multi-family apartment units complete with a recreation facility, community space, and leasing office on the 5.9 acre project site. The 2014 Addendum analyzed the conclusions of the Supplemental EIR to confirm whether the 2014 project would result in any new significant environmental effect or increase the severity of any previously identified environmental effect, such that preparation of a subsequent EIR or Mitigated Negative Declaration would be necessary pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162.
