or through a voter - sponsored initiative. The site is also subject to the Funding and Improvement Agreement (Staples Ranch Neighborhood Park/Detention Basin) including a proportional contribution to the purchase and ongoing maintenance of the detention basin. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION At the July 23, 2014 Planning Commission Work Session, there was discussion regarding an additional vehicular entry only driveway from southbound El Charro Road to Lot 3. While no longer part of the project scope, this access is still shown on the project plans and in Figure 4. A condition requires that this access be removed on plans submitted for permits for the subject project, however, should this access be proposed as part of a development application for Lots 2 or 3, staff will review the access consistent with the Pre - Development and Cooperation Agreement with the City of Livermore, the ACSPA, and Vulcan Materials Company. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on August 27, 2014, to review the proposed project. Detailed information on this meeting is provided in Attachment 3, draft excerpts of the Planning Commission minutes. No members of the public spoke at the Planning Commission hearing. The Commission recommended approval of the applications by a 5 -0 vote subject to staff's recommended conditions. DISCUSSION The attached Planning Commission staff report (Attachment 4) presents a more thorough discussion of the project, including: General Plan conformity, zoning and uses, site plan, floor - area - ratio, parking and circulation, operation, noise, grading and drainage, building design, signage, lighting, conformance with green building and Climate Action Plan requirements, and landscaping.
