They should bring developed parks early in the development of each Area <br />for use by the project's occupants. <br /> <br />12. <br /> <br />Community Facilities <br /> <br />Issue: <br /> <br />Insufficient land is set aside for public/institutional uses, and no reduction in <br />development intensity is required should residential land be used for public <br />purposes. <br /> <br />Proposed Project: Fire station site is dedicated; one-acre site is designated for <br /> quasi-public use; 12 acres for elementary school site (in lieu of original 5 <br /> acres) was accommodated; narrow setback is reserved for arroyo widening, if <br /> necessary; and quasi-public uses are allowed in virtually all other developable <br /> areas, with no reduction in project intensity. <br /> <br />Alternatives: <br /> <br />Designate additional public/institutional sites at key intersections/focal <br />points. <br />Designate/reserve an additional elementary school site (Western Area) <br />and/or high school site. <br />Require cooperative redesign of the plan and reservation of sites for public <br />facilities at the time such facilities are adopted as part of public agencies' <br />master plans. <br />Increase arroyo setback (see "On-site Storm Drainage," # 18 below). <br />Reduce total residential units by 9.5 units/acre for each residential- <br />designated acre used for non-residential purposes (or by the <br />parcel-designated average density). <br />Reduce total residential units for significant (greater than two acres/use) <br />public/institutional uses. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />By allowing quasi-public uses without a "residential unit loss penalty," <br />staff was attempting to encourage these uses, uses which traditionally <br />cannot compete with residential uses for land. Day care, congregate care, <br />and church uses are typically two acres or less in size, and accommodating <br />such users and the allowable residential density on most parcels is <br />feasible. Uses requiring larger acreage (schools, maximum width flood <br />control plans, etc.) were not contemplated or were addressed in other <br />ways; possible loss of land to these types of uses should reduce the total <br />build-out of the project. Until the Pleasanton Unified School District <br />decides on a revised master plan, it would be premature to incorporate <br />additional school sites in the project. <br /> <br />Principles of Agreement: Specifies certain quasi-public uses (congregate care, etc.) do <br /> not count against total residential development intensity of 1900 units; <br /> <br />Substantive Issues/Alternatives Page 14 June 9, 1999 <br /> <br /> <br />
