it must make the finding that the Negative Declaration is appropriate prior to making a recommendation to the City Council. CONCLUSION Staff believes that the site designs are appropriate and efficient for these types of development. Staff feels that the applicant has included an adequate amount of usable open space and landscaped areas within the two projects given the site constraints and transit- oriented type of development. Staff feels that the building designs are attractive and that the architectural style, finish colors, and materials will complement the surrounding developments. The proposed projects would each provide 38 units that will be available to lower income households which would help the City to meet its lower income housing goals. STAFF RECOMMENDATION 1. Find that the projects would not have a significant effect on the environment and adopt a resolution recommending approval of the attached draft Mitigated Negative Declaration; 2. Adopt a resolution recommending approval to the City Council of the Development Agreement Amendment to extend the term of the Development Agreement to five years from the date of approval of the two Development Plans, filed as Case Nos. PUD-85-08- 12D and PUD-81-30-86D; and (b) incorporate approval of the development standards and design guidelines of the Hacienda Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Standards and Guidelines, filed as Case No. P11-0856. 3. Make the PUD findings for the proposed development plans as listed in the staff report; 4. Find that the exceptions to the Hacienda TOD Standards and Design Guidelines as listed in the staff report are appropriate for the two sites, and 5. Adopt resolutions recommending approval of PUD-85-08-12D and PUD-81-30-86D, development plan approval to construct two mixed-use, high-density residential/commercial developments, subject to the conditions of approval listed in Exhibit B-1 and Exhibit B-2, and forward the applications to the City Council for public hearing and review.
