ATTACHMENT 2 P13-1858, City of Pleasanton, East Pleasanton Specific Plan Project update and discussion of four working draft specific plan alternatives for an approximately 1,100 acre area east of Martin Avenue and Valley Avenue, north of Stanley Boulevard, and south of Arroyo Mocho. Zoning for the approximately 235 acres of this property that is within the City of Pleasanton is P (Public and Institutional) and l-G-40 (General Industrial, 40,000 square foot minimum lot size). Janice Stern introduced the item by presenting a brief update of the East Pleasanton Specific Plan Task Force activities, noting that the Task Force is now at the point where four Working Draft Alternative Plans have been developed that are probably among many different types of alternatives that could be developed consistent with the Task Force Vision Statement. She noted that these four Alternatives have been brought before various City Committees and Commissions over the last month for feedback and input and are now before the Planning Commission for the same purpose. Ms. Stern then introduced Wayne Rasmussen, lead of the team of consultant for this project, which includes David Gates of David Gates and Associates, landscape architect; Jason Moody of Economic and Planning Systems (EPS), project economist; and traffic consultants and environmental consultants, who will be presenting the Draft Alternatives. She added that she will be providing the information about housing partway through that presentation. Chair Blank requested Ms. Stern to give some information on Mr. Rasmussen's background for the benefit of those who do not know him. Ms. Stern stated that Mr. Rasmussen worked with the City of Pleasanton for many years as Principal Planner up to about 2005 and was a consultant on some other projects, including the Bernal Property. She noted that Mr. Rasmussen knows a lot about the East Pleasanton area and is assisting the City with this project. Chair Blank welcomed Mr. Rasmussen, noting that he looked remarkably relaxed. Wayne Rasmussen thanked Chair Blank, stating that it certainly was good to be back and see everyone again. He started his PowerPoint presentation and gave a brief overview of the East Pleasanton site and the planning process and alternatives that have been developed to date. Mr. Rasmussen stated that the site is located just to the south of 1-580 and just to the north of Stanley Boulevard, with Valley Avenue to the east and Busch Road extending into the project area, a 1,100-acre site of which about 700 acres consist of lakes and some habitat area that are either owned or will soon be owned by Zone 7. He noted that the land has been dedicated over time and will continue to be by the quarry operators who mine it. He added that other important land holdings within the plan area include the City of Pleasanton's Operations Services Center(OSC) and the Pleasanton Garbage Service (PGS) transfer station, both located off of Busch Road; Kiewit, which owns about 50 acres; 314 acres of the remaining potentially developable area owned EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, May 22, 2013 Page 1 of 30
