residents as part of any encumbering agreement with Hacienda Business Park Owners Association; Deferring development on individual sites until the completion of the major PUD modification process; Creating a plan that maintains and enhances the quality of life in the park for existing and future residents and benefits the entire community; and Planning for the future of Hacienda consistent with the goals, policies and programs for the area included in the City's General Plan. PUD Scope One of the main planning objectives of the PUD modification is to study the undeveloped sites at and near the BART station (BRE, W.P. Carey and the northern portion of Roche) and to identify land use options for those sites. Thus, the process will focus on that area and on that type of development. Issues such as the viability of retail, the density of residential development, compatibility with existing commercial and residential uses in the business park, traffic and circulation, architecture and urban design, housing affordability, pedestrian linkages, common amenities, economic and market impacts to the community, school impacts and public infrastructure and services will need to be considered in evaluating any changes to the existing Hacienda plan. Input from Hacienda property owners and tenants, both commercial and residential, and from the community at large will be of great importance in considering options and the issues associated with each. The PUD modification should also involve consideration of the park as a whole. Changes to the primary areas under consideration will affect other areas of the park, particularly regarding pedestrian and bicycle access, traffic and circulation, common amenities, landscaping and urban design. In consideration of changes that may occur in the future with other properties outside of the primary focus areas, planning work should address how changes to uses and development standards should occur so as to maintain a consistent, updated character throughout the park and overall conformance with recently adopted General Plan policies. Staff also expects that an updated, parkwide set of design guidelines and development standards will result from this process. PUD Preliminary Work Plan Staff has identified a basic work plan for the PUD modification process at this time, based on suggested tasks identified below and operated under the direction of a task force. This preliminary list may need to be expanded upon, or added to, and each task may require more than one meeting to be accomplished. The actual number of meetings and tasks will be defined as the process unfolds. Task #1 Organization Organize task force and advisory group process in terms of meeting schedule, rules and operating procedures, work plan and work product, staff work, chair and public participation. Articulate a vision and goals statement for development of sites adjacent to the BART station and for the park as a whole. Page 5 of 7
