Dr. Howard Long said the churches own Pleasanton Garden and that the people are happy living there and they and their families will suffer great distress when the residents are evicted from their homes due to a plan based on misleading information which was presented to the Council. He said the misleading information is based upon wanting to have a higher level of handicapped accessibility standards. Members of the various churches were brought together to build this, the mortgage will be paid off in July, and they do not need the bureaucracy of affordable housing and do not want to be evicted. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND OTHER MATTERS 14. Consider Cases PUD -57, PUD -68, and PUD -80 Establishing Planned Unit Development Plans including Allowed Uses for Hendrick Automotive Group, Continuing Life Communities, and a Neighborhood Park/Storm Water Detention Basin at Staples Ranch, and Consideration of Agreements for the Staples Ranch Project, including a Development Ag reement Assistant City Manager Steve Bocian gave a PowerPoint presentation, showing the Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan area, 1 -580, El Charro Road, and the Arroyo Mocho, the 124 -acre Staples Ranch site, the PUD areas, the land use map, the CLC project, the Auto Mall, the Neighborhood Park, the Community Park, and the Retail Center. He said the Retail Center and Community Park are not being addressed tonight and staff anticipates a separate PUD for each. There is; however, general information included in the development agreement relative to the Retail Commercial site, but not the actual development that will occur on site. This will be subject to future review by the City Council. Mr. Bocian presented a site plan laying out the projects, the Council- approved Community Park Master Plan. He recapped the August 24, 2010 Council meeting, stating that the Council approved all environmental work relating to the development. All PUD's have been approved by the Planning Commission. The City has been meeting with the City of Livermore on a regular basis regarding the construction of El Charro Road and the most recent information provided by Livermore is that they intend to begin the construction process for El Charro Road shortly after the first of the year, and the Pleasanton staff intends to work on the annexation process as quickly as possible. Mayor Hosterman said she had hoped for a November LAFCO meeting, noting the Board only meets every other month. Mr. Bocian explained that there is a meeting set next week and staff will have a better understanding of the schedule. He said City staff and the Alameda County Surplus Property Authority (SPA) are interested in moving forward quickly, but a lot of information needs to be prepared, and much depends on LAFCO staff. Senior Planner Robin Giffin presented the Hendrick PUD, stating that the development includes 6 dealerships, 3 car washes, proposed building square footage of 292,000 square feet, and a PUD site of approximately 37 acres in size. She reviewed the tree planting proposal, landscaping screens, elevation drawings for some of the building. She displayed locations for the proposed freestanding signs, individual dealership pylon signs, and monument signs. As conditioned, all signage details would be subject to a formal design review process prior to construction. She also reviewed the parking lot lighting standards noting that all interior lighting would be turned off and all exterior lighting would be reduced to 10 foot candles during non- operational evening hours. The proposed conceptual lighting plan adheres to all foot candle mitigation measures. As conditioned, all exterior lighting would be downward facing and shielded and no rooftop lighting is proposed.
