...Title

PDA11-002-02 & ER25-039 - Administrative Hearing on the Appeal of the Planning Director’s Approval and Planned Development Permit Amendment Located at 1123 Coleman Avenue.

...Recommendations

(a) Conduct an Administrative Hearing to consider the appeal of the Planning Director’s approval of a Planned Development Permit Amendment and Addendum to the Airport West Stadium and Great Oaks Place Environmental Impact Report to allow the operation of up to 15 concerts per year at an existing stadium (PayPal Park) on an approximately 14.5-gross-acre site, located on the southerly side of Coleman Avenue between Earthquakes Way and Newhall Drive (1123 Coleman Avenue).

(b) Adopt a resolution denying the environmental appeal and upholding the Planning Director’s reliance on the Addendum under Section 15162 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines for the Addendum to the Airport West Stadium and Great Oaks Place Environmental Impact Report in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, as amended, and finding that:

 (1) The City Council has independently reviewed and analyzed the Addendum to the Airport West Stadium and Great Oaks Place Environmental Impact Report and related administrative records related to Planned Development Permit Amendment Nos. PDA11-002-02 & ER25-039;

 (2) The Addendum to the Airport West Stadium and Great Oaks Place Environmental Impact Report was prepared and completed in full compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, as amended, together with State and local implementation guidelines; and

 (3) Reliance on the Addendum to the Airport West Stadium and Great Oaks Place Environmental Impact Report reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the City of San José, as the lead agency for the Project; and

 (4) Preparation of a new Environmental Impact Report or Mitigated Negative Declaration is not required because the appeal does not raise any issues that would disqualify the project from an Addendum to the certified Airport West Stadium and Great Oaks Place Environmental Impact Report under Section 15162 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines.

(c) Adopt a resolution denying the permit appeal and approving, subject to conditions, a Planned Development Permit Amendment to allow the operation of up to 15 concerts per year at an existing stadium (PayPal Park) on an approximately 14.5-gross-acre site, located on the southerly side of Coleman Avenue between Earthquakes Way and Newhall Drive (1123 Coleman Avenue).
