East Pleasanton Specific Plan Task Force Commissioner Ritter stated that he would like to give the Commission a quick update on the East Pleasanton Specific Plan Task Force meeting. He indicated that it was a great meeting; staff came back with its report, and Mike Tassano, City Traffic Engineer, did an amazing traffic analysis showing the Task Force what would happen with El Charro Road going through, without the El Charro Road extension, and with multi - family, high- density, and low- density housing. He noted that it helped everybody understand better what is going to happen in the area. Commissioner Ritter continued that staff also identified a scenario with only a park and no housing. He added that the draft Plan is being put together to include several options: a no- project, a park, 1,300 single - family units, 1,000 single - family units, 800 single - family units, 1,430 multi - family units, and one which was the old base plan of 1,759 multi - family units. He indicated that there was a discussion that all the options be analyzed so when the Task Force goes out to the community, it can say that the Task Force looked at the different options from nothing to everything. Mr. Dolan added that there were also the 2, 500 -unit options, and those are 500 single - family detached units but with reduced infrastructure, one with no El Charro Road connection and one with partial El Charro Road connection that would go to the freeway but not to Stanley Boulevard. Commissioner Ritter stated that it was interesting to see the traffic patterns with El Charro Road through and without El Charro Road, which showed a lot of different things. He added that he thinks they will all be clarified nicely and so the Task Force will have some good things to look at. Chair O'Connor inquired if some of those will be published, or if there is a short document that the Commissioners could see without having to attend every meeting, particularly about traffic. Mr. Dolan commented that staff should have recorded Mr. Tassano's presentation, but he did not know it was going to be so good. Commissioner Ritter stated that he would like to have Mr. Tassano come to a Commission meeting just for an informational session, but he does not know if that is within the scope of work of the group. Mr. Dolan replied that Mr. Tassano has received so many compliments on his talk, and staff will think about how that information can be provided to the Commission in the best format. Commissioner Allen commented that that would be great information. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, August 13, 2014 Page 31 of 32
