THE CITY OF <br /> East Pleasanton Specific Plan _ : _,.n <br /> Public Comments pLEASANTO\ <br /> From: Lou Astbury <br /> Sent:Tuesday, December 03, 2019 9:46 AM <br /> To: Mayor and City Council <citycouncil@cityofpleasantonca.gov> <br /> Subject: Don't Rush East Side Planning <br /> Dear Mayor Thorne and Pleasanton City Council Members, <br /> In 2015 the Pleasanton East Side Specific Plan for a massive <br /> 1300 housing project was stopped by an angry citizen <br /> response. The main concern was water supply as Pleasanton <br /> was under a mandatory 25% reduction in water usage. Today <br /> California is behind in our seasonal water supplies and we are <br /> already faced with a 10% reduction in water supply due to <br /> contamination in a Pleasanton well. In addition, our supply is <br /> further limited by a second well, run by our main supplier Zone <br /> 7, also closed due to contamination. <br /> But water is only one concern. This project would be the <br /> largest in Pleasanton history with many infrastructure impacts <br /> (water, school over-crowding, urban sprawl, traffic, etc.). Why <br /> is there a sudden push to develop this area of 1100 acres on <br /> Pleasanton's east side? We should wait until the new California <br /> mandated housing requirements (RHNA) come out so that a <br /> more comprehensive plan for all of Pleasanton can be put in <br /> place taking into account what the State wants for local housing <br /> in addition to what the developer wants to build for this site <br /> (some 1900+/- homes). <br /> Provided to City Council for the February 18,2020, Meeting <br />
