Mr. Bocian noted that staff received several questions today relative to St. Anton's bond application and its reference to an afterschool and education program. Staff has discussed this with the developer, who has indicated that they are proposing to provide those types of services but that the exact scope and nature of the programs will be geared towards actual tenants. Councilmember Brown asked what enforcement rights the City has relative to these programs. Mr. Bocian explained that it is dependent upon where it is memorialized. In an agreement between St. Anton Partners and the issuer of the bonds, the City has no responsibility or authority. If, however, the intent were to be memorialized in any of the City's documents or agreements then the City would have some amount of oversight. He explained that the agreements and responsibilities addressed through the bond and tax credit process may prove sufficient or the Council can explore the possibility of adding language to the project's development agreement. Mayor Thorne opened the public hearing. Carmen Rivera-Hendrickson said she has not uncovered any obvious issues with the project but would like to see an ADA evaluation and be allowed to review the plans to ensure that universal design is properly addressed. Mayor Thorne closed the public hearing.

PUD-81-30-87D, St. Anton Partners, Inc.; Anton Hacienda Apartments - Consider applications for (1) PUD Development Plan approval to construct 168 apartment units and related site improvements at 5729 West Las Positas Boulevard; (2) an Affordable Housing Agreement; (3) Inclusionary Unit Credit Agreement and (4) Growth Management agreement Planning Manager Stern presented the staff report which she said relates to an application by St. Anton Partners to construct 168 apartment units and related site improvements on West Las Positas Boulevard within Hacienda Business Park. She presented several slides showing site orientation. The overall site plan includes two three-story buildings each containing 38 units facing West Las Positas and one four-story building with 92 units situated to the rear of the site. Site amenities include a community room, pool, pocket park, fenced pet area, clubhouse, fitness center, outdoor kitchen, additional green spaces and a connection to Tassajara Creek. In total, the project contains approximately 26,600 square feet of public open space, 4,200 square feet in private balcony areas and 10,000 square feet in patio areas. This meets the City's requirements of 300 square feet of outdoor usable space per unit. The project architecture is a mission hacienda design which is designed to complement neighboring residential development. Councilmember Brown asked Ms. Stern to discuss the existing retention pond on the site. Ms. Stern confirmed that a portion of the green space acts as a retention pond during inclement weather but said it is fully usable as open space approximately 90% of the time.
