Almost all of the lots not subject to the post-1994 Prudential sub-cap were developed or had appwved plans in t994. Although "built," most of these lots could be expanded within the relevant lot-specific development regulations. Expansion, however, would be subject to the regulations established in the development approvals and the overall development cap. There are approximately 408,000 square feet ~ in tha development cap. This balance represents a pool of additional development potential that could be built on one or more of these properties provided that all of the other controlling development provisions are met. The two most important of these provisions are the lot-specific floor area ratio (found in Table B-1 of the Design Guidelines and Exhibit B of the CC&R's) and the development plan traffic condition ('No. 13). Aa Hacienda has built out, its network of streets and freeway interchanges have been affected by growth in Pleasanton and~ Dublin. City traffic projections show it will be difficult to acliieve the intersection levels of service originally planned and which the traffic condition requires each new building to meet. Any new project in Hacienda seeking to use the approximately 408,000 square feet remaining in the development cap must undertake the required traffic study and demonstrate that its traffic, when added to existing traffic and that projected from approved projects, will not result in adverse levels of service. New exptnaion projects should seek to utilize traffic reduction strategies to the fullest extent if the tragic requirements are to be met. R~ently, discussions concerning expansion opportunities have taken place between owners of lots within Hacienda and the City's and Association's staffs. Both the City of Pleasanton and the Hacienda Owners Association felt it appropriate to simultaneously address all oftha land owners within Hacienda to advise them of the guiding development parameters that will affect their ability to expand. At this point in Hacienda's development, the actions of one lot owner will likely affect the expansion/reuse options of the others. We feel having all of the current property owners knowledgeable of the development constraints affecting their properties best serves the City's and Hacienda's interests. Satisfaction of the conditions outlined above constitute the minimum requirements which mtmt be met in order to consider expansion applications. However, satisfaction of these conditions is. by no means, a determinant of approvai. Each application must also be considered by approving bodies within the City of Pleasanton and Hacienda. Owners considering expansion under this portion of the development cap arc well advised to carefally ~¢view all of the Pla~med Unit Develop~ent coi~ditions under Ordinance 1325; the Hacienda Coy.chants, Conditions, and Restrictions revision 3.2; and Hacienda's . Design Guidelines to obtain a thorough understanding of the terms by which expansion applications will be given consideration. Hacienda's covenants, conditions, and restrictions grant the Hacienda Owners Association discretionary review and approval authority over all applications within the development. As such, the Association is the first body to determine whether expansion applications will be allowed to move forward. With Association approval, applications will then move to the Pleasanton Planning Department for review and
