NOW, THEREFORE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON DOES RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE AND ORDER THE FOLLOWING: SECTION 1. In July 2024, the City Council determined that the Project was exempt under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guideline Section 15183, as documented in the adopted Section 15183 Checklist for the Project. The transfer of RHNA units between the County and City is a required procedural action associated with the previously approved annexation component of the Project. Therefore, no additional environmental review is required. SECTION 2. Before taking action on the proposed RHNA transfer, and at a properly noticed public meeting, the City Council reviewed written and oral staff reports, conducted a public hearing on the Project and took testimony, and received into the record all pertinent documents related to the Project (collectively, the "Record Evidence"). The City Council's determination is based on the Record Evidence, which is incorporated into this Resolution by reference. SECTION 3. Based upon the City Council's own independent review of the Record Evidence, the City Council hereby finds that the proposed RHNA transfer agreement letter is consistent with the prior Project approvals and authorizes the Mayor to sign the joint County of Alameda and City of Pleasanton RHNA transfer agreement letter, dated March 17, 2026, transferring 18 of the County's above-moderate income 6th Cycle RHNA units to the City, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit A. SECTION 4. This resolution shall become effective immediately upon its passage and adoption. PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Pleasanton at a regular meeting held on March 17, 2026.
