SPECIFIC PLAN MILESTONES Given the desire of the City Council to create a plan with substantial community input and the opportunity presented by a virtually undeveloped site, staff has assumed that time will be spent at the start of the planning process to formulate a vision and objectives for future development of the EPSP area prior to discussion of the specific development proposals being sponsored by the property owners. The vision and goals may consist of text and graphics and may be developed through a charrette-like process or by design professionals in collaboration with the Task Force. In any case, this process would ensure the inclusion of a wide range of ideas as well as the development proposals advanced by the major property owners. The East Pleasanton Specific Plan process is anticipated by staff to take approximately 18 months to complete and would consist of the following key milestones and completion dates: Task Completion Date Development of an overall project work plan and schedule, and March 2012 direction from Council regarding the formation of a community participation program Data collection and documentation pertaining to existing baseline Available to conditions (i.e., traffic, hydrology, biology, environmental hazards, public in April noise, etc.) 2012 City Council confirmation of an 12-person EPSP Task Force May 2012 First meeting of EPSP Task Force June 2012 City Council authorization of professional services contracts for plan Contract preparation assistance approvals June 2012 Draft RHNA allocation available July 2012 Analysis of development and conservation opportunities and July 2012 constraints Input from the community and direction by the Council regarding the August 2012 vision and principles for developing the Plan Area Preparation of land use plan options September 2012 Analysis of land use plan options based on how they implement the November 2012 planning vision and principles as well as how they resolve traffic impacts, fiscal impacts, etc Selection of the preferred land use and circulation plan option, and January 2013 key planning policies by the Council Preparation of a draft specific plan and CEQA documentation March 2013 Planning Commission recommendations regarding the June 2013 environmental documentation and the draft Specific Plan Council certification of the CEQA environmental documentation and August 2013 approval of the Specific Plan, Prezonings and Annexation Page 5 of 7
