PUBLIC HEARINGS AND OTHER MATTERS <br />a. P13 -2078. Summerhill Apartment Communities <br />Work Session to review and receive comments on a Preliminary <br />Review application to demolish the existing office building and <br />construct 177 apartment units and related site improvements on a <br />5.9 -acre site located at 5850 West Las Positas Boulevard in Hacienda <br />Business Park. Zoning for the property is PUD -MU (Planned Unit <br />Development — Mixed Use) District. <br />Jenny Soo presented the staff report and described the scope, layout, and key elements <br />of the proposal. She noted that staff has received emails from Chamberlin Associates, <br />the adjacent property owner to the west, expressing concern about the first exception <br />requested to locate the carports eight feet rather than 50 feet from the western property <br />line; and from the commercial tenants of the property expressing concern about <br />residents throwing trash onto the commercial site during move -out time, and overflow <br />parking in the sense that even if the project meets the parking requirements, there could <br />be extra vehicles for each unit. She added that the commercial tenants questioned how <br />management would handle both concerns and proposed that a fencing and landscaping <br />barrier be installed to separate the development from the adjacent commercial property. <br />Ms. Soo stated that staff also received a considerable number of email and phone calls <br />from the neighbors on the south side, the Parkside community, expressing concerns <br />about density and its link to crime; low- income housing and the income level of the <br />tenants; construction hours and the management of the construction; noise, dust, and <br />traffic; impact on existing services and schools; and impact on the environment and <br />wildlife. She added that some proposed that the project be moved closer to the BART <br />station and that the residential project be replaced with commercial buildings as the City <br />is losing commercial building stock. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, September 11, 2013 Page 3 of 27 <br />
