City of Pleasanton—Additional Housing Sites Rezonings Project Addendum CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 Addendum 104 located near transportation hubs or local commercial areas. These policies are included under Goal 2, which encourages a well-rounded community that maintains desirable neighborhoods, supports employment opportunities, and provides a variety of community facilities. In addition, General Plan Goal 3 promotes development in an efficient, logical, and orderly manner. Policy 23 further supports predictable growth by regulating the number of housing units approved each year to allow adequate infrastructure planning. The proposed project would implement these policies by applying a new General Plan overlay to and rezoning developed infill sites within the City’s urbanized area to allow additional residential development in locations near existing employment, commercial, transportation, and infrastructure systems. The proposed project would also support Action E6 of the City’s CAP 2.0 by contributing to a better jobs-housing balance, increasing housing opportunities, and encouraging new housing in locations with access to transit options and employment hubs. Consistent with the General Plan, all of the proposed sites are currently zoned as PUD – Industrial/Commercial/Offices (the zoning for Site B also includes the HOZ District). The proposed project rezoning and application of a new General Plan overlay is limited to the allowance or increase of residential density. The PUD designation ensures compatibility with surrounding uses and consistency among goals and policies of the General Plan and applicable Specific Plans. In addition, the rezoning of the proposed sites remains consistent with the General Plan Housing Element policies and programs that are meant to ensure logical and orderly development. Furthermore, future development of the proposed sites may be required to undergo project- specific discretionary environmental review, ensuring consistency with Measure PP in the General Plan. Designation of these proposed sites to allow residential development would aid in meeting the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) plan for an addition of 5,965 new housing units between 2023-2030. Future development on the proposed sites would be required to comply with the land use and density restrictions described in Section 2, Project Description, Table 1, as well as the City’s ODS. The proposed sites are located well outside of the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) and would therefore not conflict with the ALUCP policies and regulations. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant, and the proposed project would not result in a new or more severe adverse impact that was not
