4. PUBLIC HEARING  
4.1  
1255 Pear Avenue, Tim Steele for the Sobrato Organization, PL-2022-225: APN; 116-14-136  
Recommendation:  
Request for a modification to a previously approved Planned Community Permit and a  
Development Review Permit (PL-2017-380) to allow minor site and design changes to  
the residential buildings in Phase 2 of the development due the the removal of parcels  
9 and 10 from the project area. The removal of the parcels leads to a reduction in the  
total number of residential units, 425 units to 244 units, on a project site now totaling  
3.74-acre. This project site is located on the east side of Inigo Way between Pear  
Avenue and La Avenida Avenue in the P-39 (North Bayshore) Precise Plan.  
Environmental Assessment: The original project, approved on October 23, 2018 was  
determined to be consistent with the previously certified North Bayshore Precise Plan  
program environmental impact report (EIR) and the 2030 General Plan and GGRP EIR  
(the “EIRs”) as documented in an Initial Study that found with implementation of the  
North Bayshore Precise Plan standards and guidelines, State regulations, and mitigation  
measures identified in the EIRs, City standard conditions of approval, and  
project-specific conditions of approval, the proposed project would not result in any  
new environmental impacts beyond those evaluated previously. The proposed project  
modification is consistent with that determination and no further environmental  
determination is necessary for the reduced project.
