THE CITY OF 11 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT 1LEASANTON. November 3, 2015 October 20, 2011 Community Development Department TITLE: PUD-25, GREENBRIAR HOMES COMMUNITIES, LUND RANCH II — CONSIDER INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCES APPROVING (1) A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) REZONING AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPROVAL TO CONSTRUCT 50 SINGLE-FAMILY, TWO-STORY HOMES AND RELATED IMPROVEMENTS ON THE APPROXIMATELY 194.7-ACRE LUND RANCH II PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1500 LUND RANCH ROAD AT THE END OF LUND RANCH ROAD, AND (2) A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TO VEST ENTITLEMENTS FOR THE PROJECT; AND RESOLUTIONS: (1) CERTIFYING THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (EIR) PREPARED FOR THE PROJECT; (2) APPROVING A GROWTH MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND (3) APPROVING AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING AGREEMENT SUMMARY The proposed project would include 50 approximately 4,200-4,500-square-foot detached single-family homes to be constructed on the Lund Ranch II property, located southeast of the Bonde Ranch neighborhood, east of the Vicitge Ventana Hills neighborhood, and northeast of the Sycamore Heights neighborhood. The homes would be clustered on approximately 34 acres of the 195-acre site in the lower elevations of the bowl-shaped property. The non-developed portion of the project would be permanent open space, owned by the City. The project is proposed to be accessed off of the existing dead-end of Lund Ranch Road. The primary issue associated with the project is the location of project access. Each adjacent and nearby neighborhood would prefer to avoid additional traffic from the development on its own streets. Residents of the Vintage Ventana Hills and Mission Hills neighborhoods believe that promises made by previous City Councils and subsequent planning assumptions should be adhered to, and support access limited to Sunset Creek Lane through the Sycamore Heights neighborhood. The Sycamore Heights and Bridle Creek neighborhoods believe that the provisions of Measure PP would prevent such an access route, which would require crossing an area containing a 25-percent and greater slope. They prefer the project as proposed, connecting to Lund Ranch Road. The Planning Commission voted 4-1 to support approval of the project, revised to be accessed only via a connection to Sunset Creek Lane in the Sycamore Heights neighborhood. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION On August 26, 2015, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council (1) certify the Final EIR and approve the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Findings and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program; (2) approve the Development Agreement; and (3) approve the PUD Rezoning and Development Plan as
