BACKGROUND On September 11, 2013, the Planning Commission approved an application by Pleasanton Gateway, LLC for Vesting Tentative Map 8147 to subdivide the subject property into ninety-seven lots for single-family homes, one lot for the apartment complex, and nineteen lots for common areas and amenities (such as the recreation area and the public trail along the west side of the site), private streets, guest parking spaces, and utilities and storm water treatment areas. In December 2013, Civic Gateway, LLC purchased the site from Pleasanton Gateway, LLC. On July 15, 2014, Civic Gateway, LLC submitted improvement security in the form of a performance bond and a labor and materials bond each in the amount of$6,826,850 as provided for in the subdivision agreement to ensure the construction of the public and private improvements necessary to serve the subdivision. On July 18, 2014, an encroachment permit was issued and construction started soon thereafter. On December 21, 2016, Civic Gateway, LLC informed staff that all public and private improvements were completed and requested a release of the performance and labor and materials bonds. Staff inspected the work and determined that approximately 90% of the public improvements were complete and ready for acceptance. On June 6, 2017, the City Council accepted 90% of the public improvements and authorized the City Clerk to file a Notice of Completion and release the performance bond and labor and materials bond in exchange for improvement security in the amount of $125,000 for the remaining work. In July 2017, Civic Gateway, LLC submitted a performance bond and labor and materials bond in amounts of $125,000 each for the remaining work and the City Clerk released the original performance bond and labor and materials bond.
