MENTERPRISES nearon Date: October 10, 2017 To: City of Pleasanton Planning Commission From: Nearon Enterprises SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL Provided to the Planning Commission After Distribution of Packet Date Distributed: 10111111 -6 Re: Statement from Nearon Enterprises to the Planning Commission for its October 11 Meeting Related to the Johnson Drive Economic Development Zone Dear Planning Commission members: I am writing to you on behalf of Nearon Enterprises, the current primary property owner within the area designated for the JDEDZ. We have reviewed the staff report and their recommendations for the October 11, 2017 meeting. We ask the Planning Commission to vote in support of (1) certifying the Final Supplemental EIR, (2) approving the General Plan Amendment, and (3) approving the PUD to rezone the project site. While some of the following information may be repetitive, here is a quick summary of Nearon's involvement with the Property and the JDEDZ to date: • We acquired a vacated campus from Clorox in June 2013, totaling nine parcels and I I buildings. Two buildings were leased back by Clorox. • We invested over $2.5 million on the deconstruction of the buildings, and donated almost 900,000 pounds of property, valued at over $2.0 million to Habitat for Humanity, Bay Area School Districts and The Oakland Zoo. The excess gravel is now being used for the local highway projects. • We invested over $1.5 million towards environmental remediation, with 90% of the property, including 100% of the Costco and Hotel sites, having received a clean bill of health (i.e., a No Further Action letter) from the RWQCB. • Through the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement approved by the City Council in April 2014, we have contributed $436,000 as reimbursement for expenses related to the EIR, along with a multitude of other studies tied to the EDZ.
