PC-2010-11, ALAMEDA COUNTY SURPLUS PROPERTY AUTHORITY

124 -acre site of undeveloped land within the 293 -acre Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan area. The proposed project seeks to modify the land use plan for the Staples Ranch site to allow for an auto mall, a senior continuing care community, a commercial center, a community park and a neighborhood park/stormwater detention facility. The proposed project in the Final EIR is identical to the proposed project in the SEIR. The proposed project would eliminate the quarry truck tunnels called for in the 1989 Specific Plan and modify the Specific Plan to reflect the improvements described in the September 2007 Pre -Development and Cooperation Agreement between Livermore, Pleasanton, Alameda County, the ACSPA, and Vulcan Materials. Under the proposed project, four lanes of Stoneridge Drive would not be extended through Staples Ranch to EI Charro Road until some point in the future. Over the short term, a single two-lane bridge would extend over the Arroyo Mocho, and two lanes of Stoneridge Drive would provide access to the westerly portion of Staples Ranch. The eastern portion of the property would be accessed via a four -lane road connecting to EI Charro Road, and no through -traffic would be permitted between the two portions of the property, other than emergency vehicles and possibly buses. The proposed project also includes annexing approximately 165 acres to Pleasanton, consisting of the unincorporated portion of Staples Ranch and adjacent road and flood control right of way, and receiving additional entitlements including, but not limited to, planned unit development (PUD) prezoning and PUD development plans for each of the project developments, a tentative map and final subdivision map(s), public improvement plans, and a development agreement between the ACSPA and the City of Pleasanton. Because many of the original Specific Plan infrastructure requirements have either been constructed or will be funded by other sources, the proposed project would also modify the list of infrastructure improvements and funding sources. The proposed project will require the Project Sponsor to be responsible for the following public improvements, including, but not limited to: dedication of right of way and improvements in the form of a four -lane extension of Stoneridge Drive from its current terminus east of Trevor Parkway to EI Charro Road, including turn lanes and two, two-lane bridges over the Arroyo Mocho; dedication of 17 acres to the City for a community park; and EI Charro Road improvements between 1-580 and the Stoneridge Drive/Jack London Boulevard intersection to accommodate the design contemplated in the 2007 Pre -Development Cooperation and Cost Sharing Agreements.
