A copy of the report is available through the following web link: http://206.110.20.201/downloads/businessservices/FY12StudentPopulationProjectionsD.e mRpt .pdf A condition of approval requires the project developer to work with the Pleasanton Unified School District and the City Director of Community Development to develop a program, in addition to the school impact fees required by State law and local ordinance, to offset this project's long-term effect on school facility needs in Pleasanton. This program will be designed to fund school facilities necessary to offset this project's reasonably related effect on the long-term need for expanded school facilities to serve new development in Pleasanton. Construction will not be allowed to start until the terms of this program and/or funds have been approved by the City. Landscaping Preliminary landscape plans have been provided for the site, including enlargements of common open space/recreation areas, and additional planting and stucco wall along the southern property line. Although the landscape plans are conceptual, staff believes that the species, quantities, and sizes of the proposed landscaping for the site is consistent with the Standards and Hacienda Guidelines and is generally appropriate. A condition of approval requires that detailed landscape and irrigation plans be provided at the building permit stage subject to the review and approval by the Director of Community Development. Some of the residents in Parkside neighborhood have requested that the south side of the proposed stucco wall be screened sufficiently by landscaping. The applicant is exploring an option, in addition to providing vines, to plant vine/shrubs along the south side of the wall. As the southern property line of the project site abuts the maintenance road along Arroyo Mocho which is owned by Zone 7, permission from Zone 7 would be needed. In addition, the applicant is exploring the feasibility of landscape maintenance as there would not be a direct access from the project site to the arroyo. Staff will report the outcome of providing landscaping on the south side of the block wall at the hearing. At the Planning Commission Work Session on January 22, 2014, the adjoining property owner to the west, Chamberlin and Associates, requested to have less landscaping along the westerly property line. To ensure appropriate landscaping would be planted along the westerly property line, staff has included a condition requiring final landscape be reviewed and approved by the Director of Community Development prior to issuance of building permit. Tree Removal A tree report has been prepared by Hort Science (Exhibit B) that specifies the species, size, health, and value of the existing trees on the site that exceed six-inches in diameter. According to the tree report, the project site contains 103 trees, of which 27 are considered "heritage-sized" trees (i.e., a tree which measures 35 feet or greater in height or which measures 55 inches or greater in circumference) under Chapter 17.16 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code.
