BACKGROUND Staples Ranch is a subdivision proposed by Alameda County Surplus Authority. The property is bounded by the Arroyo Mocho on the south, 1-580 to the north El Charro Road to the east and residential subdivisions to the west (see attached vicinity map). On August 24, 2010, and September 7, 2010, the City Council certified the Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan Amendment, Staples Ranch EIR and related environmental documents, approved various agreements, and introduced ordinances approving the Development Agreement for Staples Ranch and the Planned Unit Development Plans for PUD-57 (Hendrick Automotive Group), PUD-68 (Continuing Life Communities), and PUD-80 (Neighborhood Park). On September 21, 2010, the City Council adopted the Staples Ranch Development Agreement and the above-mentioned PUDs. On October 27, 2010, the Planning Commission approved the application for a Vesting Tentative Map to subdivide the approximately 124 acre Staple Ranch site. The 124 acre site will include a 46 acre Senior Continuing Care Community, a 37 acre auto mall, an 11 acre retail/commercial center, a 5 acre Neighborhood Park and a 17 acre Community Park; as well as 15 small parcels to be given to adjacent residents on Vermont Place, as described below. On April 29, 2011, LAFCo certified the annexation of the property to the City (Reorganization No. 149 (Staples Ranch)). The Engineering staff, Planning staff, and the City Attorney's Office have reviewed the Final Map and other legal documents for Tract 8020. All submittals are in substantial conformance with the PUD, development agreement, Specific Plan, EIR and Tentative Map. The Development fee agreement is in place with Alameda County Surplus Authority and a signed Subdivision Agreement has been submitted. DISCUSSION Proposed Improvements Tract 8020 includes the extension of Stoneridge Drive from it present easterly terminus at Trevor Parkway easterly to El Charro Road. A new north and south travel lane bridge will be constructed as part of these roadway improvements over the Arroyo Mocho. In addition to Stoneridge Drive extension, one additional public street will be constructed, Stoneridge Creek Way. This street provides access to the Continuing Life Communities (CLC) and the parking lot for the neighborhood park. The medians within the Stoneridge Drive and Stoneridge Creek Way will have bio-swales for storm water treatment as required by the State Regional Water Quality Control Board. The median on Stoneridge Creek Way will be maintained by CLC. The storm water for the entire Staples Ranch development will be collected in a detention basin that has been integrated into the neighborhood park. Around the perimeter of the storm water detention basin is a walking/jogging trail. (see attachment No. 3). Page 2 of 3
