I. BACKGROUND The East Pleasanton Specific Plan Task Force has met ten times since August 2012 to develop a land use and circulation plan for the East Pleasanton area. The Planning Commission last reviewed progress on the Specific Plan in May and June, 2013 at which time, the Commission provided input regarding four working draft land use alternatives. The alternatives were then forwarded to the City Council for additional comments and direction, and for authorization to proceed with various impact analysis reports, as follows: • Traffic Analysis dated July 25, 2013 prepared by Fehr & Peers (Exhibit C) • Infrastructure Summary and Cost Estimate prepared by Kier &Wright (Exhibit D) • Water Supply Assessment, July 2013, prepared by WJM C&C for Kier & Wright (Exhibit E) • EPSP Infrastructure Feasibility Analysis, July 25, 2013, prepared by EPS, Economic and Planning Systems (Exhibit F) • EPSP Fiscal Impact Analysis, July 25, 2013, EPS, Economic and Planning Systems (Exhibit G) Based on the information in these reports and the feedback from the Planning Commission and City Council, the East Pleasanton Task Force refined the plan options, selected its Preferred Plan and recommended five CEQA alternatives to be addressed in the Specific Plan El R. The Planning Commission is now being asked to review these plans and provide input. II. DISCUSSION Exhibit A provides text descriptions, maps, and acreages, and quantifies the development in the Preferred Plan and the Alternatives. The plans represent a range of alternatives with residential units ranging from 1,000 units to 2,279 units, and plans representing various proportions of single family and multifamily development. Retail and office development is similar in the preferred plan and all alternatives (at 91,000 square feet and 442,000 square feet, respectively) and industrial development varies from 1.06 million to 2.17 million square feet. A summary of the development program for each alternative is included on the last page of Exhibit A. Preferred Plan: The Preferred Plan evolved over several Task Force meetings which focused on the following questions: • What is the appropriate level of development given a desire to create a financially feasible plan? • How many residential units should be accommodated and what should be the balance between single family homes and multifamily units? • Should the multifamily units and other higher density development be focused in a central area to create an "activity center" or should the higher density development be dispersed?
