Site 4: Kaiser <br /> <br /> Located south of the Stoneridge Shopping Mall; the three-acre site adjacent to <br />the medical office building is vacant. Kaiser was planning to put a hospital on it <br />at one time; Kaiser is not actively marketing the site at this time and has no <br />immediate plans for its use. <br /> <br /> One comment was received relating to overcrowded schools. <br /> <br />Ms. Stern noted that all the sites in this particular area of town generated little interest <br />from neighboring residents. <br /> <br />Site 5: Rosewood Auto Sales <br /> <br /> This is the BMW and Mini-Cooper site on Rosewood Drive just south of the I-580 <br />ramp site. It has been struck out from the list because the owners do not see this <br />site being freed up during the planning period between now and 2014. <br /> <br />Site 6: Irby-Kaplan-Zia <br /> <br /> This consists of three parcels owned by Irby, Kaplan, and Zia located on Stanley <br />Boulevard at First Street and partially within the Downtown Specific Plan area. <br />With the exception of a farmhouse complex on the southerly part and a self <br />storage on one small part, the site is vacant backs up to the creek. <br /> <br /> Three comments were received: one asked that it not be overcrowded, and the <br />development of the site would create a more overcrowded feel; a second noted <br />that the historic portion of the site should be preserved; and one commented on <br />overcrowded schools. <br /> <br />Site 7: Pleasanton Gateway <br /> <br /> <br /> This site is located at Bernal Avenue and I-680 where approximately 12 acres of <br />the 38-acre site is currently being developed for the Safeway Shopping Center, <br />leaving a balance of about 26 acres. The Task Force had originally thought that <br />about 13 acres of the site would be suitable for multi-family, high-density <br />development; however, at the latest Task Force meeting, this was reduced to <br />approximately 10 acres. <br /> <br /> There were a number of objections related to this site. Numerous comments <br />were received at the workshops; about 200 emails were received subsequent to <br />the workshops; and at the last Housing Commission meeting, there was a full <br />house of people from the Pleasanton Gateway area who expressed opposition to <br />multi-family development at the site. Factors mentioned included: <br /> traffic impacts, <br /> overcrowded schools, <br />PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MINUTES, April 27, 2011 Page 7 of 40 <br /> <br />
