CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA PACKET

Page 5 of 6 Planned Unit Development Major Modification As described in Attachment 2, all of the findings for approval for the PUD Major Modification can be made, including finding that the proposed plan is in the best interest of the public health, safety, and general welfare, the proposal is compatible with the previously developed properties in the vicinity and the natural, topographic features of the site, and adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into the design. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT The project is within the scope of the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan (VACSP) Environmental Impact Report (EIR). No additional environmental review is required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15162 because no substantial changes to the Planned Unit Development (PUD) are proposed, no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken, and no new information of substantial importance shows that the project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION The Planning Commission held a public hearing on September 26, 2025, to review and provide a recommendation to the City Council on the proposed actions. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval to the City Council, based on the project’s conformance with the PUD findings, the General Plan, and the VASCP, as amended. EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY This action creates more equity in the approval process for gates within the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan area in that it creates criteria for assessment. Allowing the CEDD Director or their designee to evaluate gate installations ensures case-by-case oversight, preventing inequitable outcomes—such as gates that might restrict public access or create social or physical barriers between neighborhoods. OUTREACH Notification of this project has been published in The Valley Times as an upcoming agenda item for the December 2, 2025, City Council meeting. Additionally, notices of this application were sent to surrounding property owners and tenants within a 1,000-foot radius of the site. At the time this report was prepared, no public comments were received by staff. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Approval of this action advances the strategic goal of Building a Community Where Everyone Belongs of the ONE Pleasanton Strategic Plan in that allowing reasonable modifications—like gate installations under guided oversight—supports the neighborhood's sense of safety, which can enhance residents’ sense of confidence in their community’s upkeep and stability. FISCAL IMPACT There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the proposed action. Page 16 of 200
