EXHIBIT C P12-1220, Pleasant Partners, LLC/RREEF America, LLC Work Session to review and receive comments on a preliminary application to construct 305 apartment units, two retail buildings totaling approximately 7,520 square feet, new surface parking and a parking garage to serve the existing office uses, and related site improvements at the California Center property at 4400-4460 Rosewood Drive. Zoning for the property is PUD-HDR (Planned Unit Development— High Density Residential) and PUD-I/C-O (Planned Unit Development— Industrial/Commercial-Office) Districts. Steve Otto presented the staff report and described the scope, layout, and key elements of the proposal. Commissioner O'Connor inquired what the parking ratio came out to with the addition of the one additional parking space. Mr. Otto replied that the Standards require 1.5 spaces per unit for the residences, and 1 guest space per 10 units. Commissioner Blank inquired what a Class I bikeway is as opposed to a Class II. Mr. Otto explained that the Class I bikeway that was approved in the P easanton Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan is a ten-foot paved bikeway, with four feet of decomposed granite on the side. Chair Pentin added that would be two feet on each side. Commissioner Blank noted that the design is a little weak on the Pleasanton look. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Martin Inderbitzen, representing the Applicant, stated that the property owner is represented tonight by Mark English. He thanked Mr. Otto for doing a very complete and thorough job describing the project and that his team, who is also present tonight, will try not to repeat any of it as they present additional information to get more flavor for the project. Mr. Inderbitzen stated that, as mentioned by Mr. Otto, this site was originally one of the sites of the PacBell break-ups and became AT&T about 25 years ago, pretty much with the beginning of the Hacienda Business Park. He noted that Hacienda Business Park's design during those early years was really kind of internal-faced, and as an office/campus site, this site fits that mold with big thoroughfares going through the Business Park and big setbacks around the perimeter of the site. Mr. Inderbitzen stated that the owners of this project acquired the site about seven years ago, and they would like to bring it up to date, more into the 21st century. He continued that this dovetailed with the City's Housing Element Update and the EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, October 10, 2012 Page 1 of 11
