City of Pleasanton—Hidden Canyon Residences and Preserve Project CEQA Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations FirstCarbon Solutions 3 Https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480016/FOF/21480016 Pleasanton Hidden Canyon Residences and Preserve Project FOF.docx the environmental determinations about the proposed project’s significant impacts before and after mitigation, and summarize the proposed project’s individual and cumulative impacts. These Findings do not attempt to describe the full analysis of each environmental impact. Instead, they provide a summary description of each significant impact and the applicable mitigation measures identified in the EIR and adopted by the City of Pleasanton, and state the conclusions regarding the significance of each impact after incorporation of the identified mitigation measures. A comprehensive explanation of these environmental impact conclusions can be found in the EIR, as supplemented and explained in staff reports and materials presented by the project applicant, the City of Pleasanton staff, and various project consultants, and other relevant materials in the administrative record. The EIR is incorporated into these Findings in its entirety. Without limitation, this incorporation is intended to elaborate on the scope and nature of mitigation measures, the basis for determining the significance of impacts, the comparative analysis of alternatives, and the reasons for approving the proposed project in spite of the potential for associated significant and unavoidable adverse impacts. 1.3 - Project Summary 1.3.1 - Project Description Residential The proposed project would result in the construction of 28 new detached single-family residential units, three of which would include accessory dwelling unit (ADU) plans ranging in size from 394 to 720 square feet. The proposed project would also demolish two existing homes owned by the Lester Family on two separate existing lots, Lots 29 and 30, for the construction of two new single-family homes in the same location. All residential lots would have a maximum lot size of approximately 14,884 square feet. Residential units would contain three different floor plans ranging from 3,750 to 4,250 square feet, with four architectural styles: Rustic Villa (Mediterranean), Spanish, Prairie, and Farmhouse. All plans would feature classic elements, details, color schemes, and stonework to fit in or be congruent with the rolling landscape of the development site and open space. The proposed 28 new detached single-family residential units would be accessible off a landscaped gated entry off Dublin Canyon Road. Three new internal roadways (Street A, Street B, and Court C) would provide connection to the project site from Dublin Canyon Road. An access road at the end of Street A would be provided to allow continued access for grazing livestock on the open space areas outside of the City’s Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). The proposed project includes construction of sidewalks along Street A, Street B, and Court C. The proposed project also includes the construction of a 5-foot-wide sidewalk along the front of lot 30 along Dublin Canyon Road and a pedestrian crossing at Canyon Meadows that would facilitate access to the proposed East Bay Regional Parks District (EBRPD) trailhead. Crosswalks are also proposed within the development site. Access to the two proposed homes on Lots 29 and 30 would retain the existing entrance on Dublin Canyon Road. This entrance would be converted into a paved loop that would connect to the EBRPD easement to the east of the existing property. Bollards would be installed at the Lester driveway connection to Dublin Canyon Road and a private access gate would be constructed at the loop’s connection with the EBRPD easement. A 5-foot-wide sidewalk or pathway would also be constructed
