Box 520 <br /> Pleasanton, CA 94566 <br /> Email: namos@cityofpleasantonca.gov <br /> HIDDEN CANYON RESIDENCES AND PRESERVE PROJECT <br /> Project Location, Surrounding Uses, and Access <br /> The project site comprises four parcels (APNs 941-2500-002, 941-2500-003, 941-2600-002-06, <br /> and 941-2700-002) located immediately west of the City limit line toward the northwestern <br /> portion of the City of Pleasanton,Alameda County, California. Two of the four parcels (APNs <br /> 941-2500-002 and 941-2500-003) are currently developed with an existing single-family home <br /> on each parcel. The project site is roughly bound by Dublin Canyon Road to the north; <br /> undeveloped land owned and designated as "land bank"by East Bay Regional Park District <br /> (EBRPD)to the east and south; and privately-owned agricultural lands to the west. Hills and <br /> ridges dominate the topography of the project site, sloping down to Devaney Creek, which <br /> roughly parallels the eastern and southern boundaries of the site. <br /> The project site is bordered on the north, across Dublin Canyon Road,by single-family homes <br /> within the Canyon Creek subdivision, Canyon Meadows Condominiums, and single-family <br /> homes on large parcels. The Preserve, Oak Hill Estates, and Kolb Ranch Estates single-family <br /> home developments are located to the east and southeast. EBRPD's Pleasanton Ridge Regional <br /> Park is located to the south and agricultural and grazing lands on very large lots and a single- <br /> family home are located to the west. <br /> Vehicular access to the project site is provided via Dublin Canyon Road. Regional access to the <br /> project site is provided via Interstate 580 (I-580) Freeway at the San Ramon Road/Foothill Road <br /> Interchange, which is located approximately 0.73-mile east of the project site. Dublin Canyon <br /> Road provides intermittent Class II striping for bicyclists along some segments; however,the <br /> bicycle lanes do not provide a full 5-foot width in all locations. <br /> Project Description <br /> The project sponsor,Ponderosa Homes III, Inc., is proposing to annex, rezone and subdivide the <br /> project site to build 31 single-family residential lots and roadways on approximately 12.4 acres <br /> of the project site, and permanently preserve approximately 115.60 acres as open space,both for <br /> private residents'use and proposed dedication(approximately 69 acres)to EBRPD. The <br /> proposed developed area would be on the hillsides in the eastern and central areas of the project <br /> site and the remaining areas to the south and west of the project site would be preserved as open <br /> space. Residential lots would range in size from 7,223 square feet(0.17 acre)to 47,943 square <br /> feet(1.10 acre). The gated residential subdivision would include 29 new single-family homes <br /> located between Devaney Creek and Dublin Canyon Road and two additional lots/new homes to <br /> replace the existing homes owned by the Lester family at 11033 and 11021 Dublin Canyon Road, <br /> located on the northeast side of the project site. The two replacement homes are intended to be <br /> FirstCarbon Solutions 2 <br />Canyon Road <br /> 3 of 11 <br />s Page 7 of 9 August 14, 2019 <br />
