WHEREAS, the Town of Danville has received a General Plan Amendment (GPA 98-03),
Preliminary Development Plan - Rezoning (PUD 98-04) and Final Development Plan - Major
Subdivision (SD 8190) request by Suncrest Homes on a 458 +/- acre site; and

Midland Way and Fountain Springs Circle and is further identified as Assessor's Parcel Numbers
208-230-020, 021,030, 031,032, 033; and
WBEREAS, the Town's initial review of the proposed development identified potentially
significant environmental impacts to be associated with the project; and
WHEREAS, pursuant with the requirements of the Califomia Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), in order to study and disclose all potentially significant environmental impacts
associated with the project, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) must be prepared; and
WHEREAS, after soliciting proposals from qualified environmental consulting firms, on January
12, 1999, the Danville Town Council approved Resolution No. 99-12 appropriating funds and
approving a contract agreement between the Town of Danville and EDAW, Inc.; and
WHEREAS, as a result of Public and Town Council/Planning Commission scoping sessions on
the proposed scope of the EIR. In addition, the applicant has requested that the scope of the EIR
be amended to evaluate the potential environmental impacts that would be associated with an
alternate development proposal. The altemate development proposal is in reaction to some of the
concerns raised by the Town regarding the project, and proposes to lower the elevation of
development on the hillside and to increase the density of development along San Ramon Valley
Boulevard; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that the Danville Town Council authorizes the Danville Town Manager to execute
an amended agreement with EDAW, Inc. for the preparation of an EIR associated with the
Elworthy West development application; and, be it further
RESOLVED, that an additional $74,391 is appropriated for the cost of preparing the Environmemal
Impact Report.
