MEMORANDUM Date:February 18, 2025 To:Mayor and City Council From: Gerry Beaudin, City Manager Ellen Clark, Director of Community Development Subject:February 18, 2025, Agenda Item No. 9: Receive updates on residential development proposals on two properties in East Pleasanton outside the City Limits – CEQA-Related Supplemental Information This supplemental memorandum provides additional information to address City Council questions received after the February 4, 2025, meeting, related to the CEQA review of the projects. February 4, 2025, Letter from Adams Broadwell Joseph & Cardozo (Adams Broadwell) Among the correspondence received for the February 4 City Council meeting was a lengthy comment letter from Adams Broadwell, on behalf of East Bay Residents for Responsible Development (EBRRD). As noted in the letter, EBRRD is a group representing several labor organizations with members living and working in Alameda County. The letter requests the City Council provide direction to staff to prepare a revised and recirculated Draft EIR for the Arroyo Lago and East Lakes Projects to address both projects and goes on to provide various arguments in support of this position. At this time, the developer is seeking approvals from Alameda County, and the County is therefore conducting the environmental review of the project. If the City Council chooses to pursue annexation and approvals of the Arroyo Lago and East Lakes projects, the City will conduct its own independent environmental review to support such future approvals. Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for Arroyo Lago As described in the February 18 Agenda Report (page 2), Alameda County published a Draft EIR for the Arroyo Lago project on September 9, 2024.

The County is in the process of developing the Final EIR for the Arroyo Lago project, which will include all comments received and responses to them. DEIR Information on Soils Contamination
