P25-0116. P25-0116, P25-0018, PUD-154 and Tract 8123 (Arroyo Lago) Planning Commission <br />20 of 22 <br />facilitate the utilities configuration and grading plan reflected in the project plans. The draft <br />PADA assumes this easement will be secured prior to construction of the project. In discussion <br />with the applicant, they have indicated a preference for the PADA to include a further <br />“backstop” provision that would recognize their ability to abandon the City project and <br />annexation efforts should the easement not be granted. Staff do not support the addition of <br />this language, since it could infer City support, in the agreement, for the County project that the <br />City has previously opposed on numerous grounds. <br /> <br />PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATIONS <br />PMC Section 18.68.110 sets forth the purposes of the PUD District and considerations to be <br />addressed in reviewing a PUD development plan. These purposes and considerations are set <br />forth in the draft Resolution included as Exhibit B and include whether the plan is in <br />conformance with the City’s General Plan; is in the interest of public health, safety, and general <br />welfare; and whether the plan would be compatible with developed properties in the vicinity. As <br />described in Exhibit A and based on the information and analysis provided in this report, the <br />staff recommends that the Commission make the required findings to recommend approval of <br />the PUD development plan to the City Council. <br /> <br />ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT <br />An Addendum to the Project FEIR (SCH No.2023050339), certified by the Alameda County <br />Board of Supervisors on February 10, 2026, was prepared for the Project to be annexed and <br />developed within the City of Pleasanton in accordance with the CEQA Guidelines. <br /> <br />CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 (a) provides that the Lead Agency (here, the City) shall <br />prepare an Addendum to a previously certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR) if some <br />changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines <br />Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred (CEQA Guidelines § <br />15164(a)). <br /> <br />The Addendum addresses minor revisions to the proposed project associated with the <br />proposed annexation of the project site into the City, such as changes to the project grading, <br />and to reflect the proposed connection to City utilities. With the annexation, the City would <br />assume land-use jurisdiction over the proposed project and would rely on the County FEIR as <br />the primary environmental document, with the City serving as the Lead Agency once the <br />project was annexed into the city. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, the <br />Addendum evaluated the proposed changes and documents the basis for the conclusion that <br />the proposed changes would not result in new significant environmental impacts or a <br />substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts, and further, that no new <br />information of substantial importance has occurred. Therefore, concluding that preparation of a <br />subsequent or supplemental EIR was not required. It is noted that Alternative 2 in the Project <br />FEIR reflected the annexation and development of the project within the City of Pleasanton <br />and was identified as the environmentally superior alternative in the FEIR. <br /> <br />The Addendum includes applicable mitigation measures identified and discussed in the County <br />FEIR, as well as related implementation measures to ensure compliance therewith, which <br />would be implemented by the proposed Project. <br /> <br />As required by Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 (a)(1), a Mitigation Monitoring and <br />Reporting Program (MMRP) has been prepared for the proposed project in order to monitor
