<br /> <br />P24-0747, 0 Vineyard Ave Planning Commission <br />5 of 5 <br /> <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />Staff believes that the amendments are appropriate and consistent with the goals and policies <br />of the General Plan. However, alternatives to the proposal that could be considered by the <br />Planning Commission include: <br /> <br />1. Recommend the City Council deny the application. Such an action would prevent the <br />full implementation of Housing Element Program 1.1 and would cause the VACSP to <br />remain inconsistent with the General Plan. <br /> <br />2. Approval of the specific plan amendment with modifications. The Planning Commission <br />could recommend that the City Council modify the proposed amendments. <br /> <br />PUBLIC NOTICE AND COMMENTS <br />Notices of this application were sent to surrounding property owners and tenants within a <br />1,000-foot radius of the site and a notification was posted on-site per the on-site project <br />notification policy. Staff has provided the location and noticing map as Exhibit B for reference. <br />At the time this report was published, staff had not received any public comments about the <br />project. <br /> <br />ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT <br />This amendments to the VACSP are within the scope of the 2023- 2031 (6th Cycle) Housing <br />Element Update Program Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2022040091) <br />which was certified by the City Council on January 26, 2023, by Resolution No. 23 -1357. No <br />further environmental review is required. <br /> <br />SUMMARY/CONCLUSION <br />Staff finds that the amendments will be compatible with and will not detrimentally affect the <br />existing or future on-site and adjacent/nearby uses or residences, and that the safety and <br />general welfare of the surrounding area, and the City in general, is maintained. Staff finds that <br />the proposed amendments will bring the VACSP into conformance with the General Plan and <br />Zoning and that the proposed amendments are appropriate. <br /> <br />Primary Author: <br />Emily Carroll, Associate Planner, 925-931-5608 or ecarroll@cityofpleasantonca.gov <br /> <br />Reviewed/Approved By: <br />Melinda Denis, Planning and Permit Center Manager/Deputy Director of Community Development <br />Ellen Clark, Director of Community Development <br />Kim Cilley, Assistant City Attorney <br /> <br /> <br />
