Planning Area: In accordance with Government Code §65300, the planning area encompasses an area within which the city designates the future use of land "bearing a relation to the city's planning." In some areas of Pleasanton, the planning area is substantially beyond the SOI, UGB, and city limit line (see Attachment 1); in this particular area the boundary of planning area is in some locations coterminous with the sphere of influence, and in other locations it is inside Pleasanton's SOI. All three parcels are outside Pleasanton's Planning Area, but inside Livermore's Planning Area.6 Table 1 summarizes each of these boundaries for both Pleasanton and Livermore. TABLE 1: PLANNING AND JURSIDICTIONAL BOUNDARIES SMP -38 SMP -39 SMP -40 City Limit Line Pleasanton Outside Outside Outside Livermore Outside Outside Outside Urban Growth Boundary Pleasanton Outside Outside Outside Livermore Inside Inside Inside Sphere of Influence Pleasanton Inside Inside Inside Livermore Outside Outside Inside Planning Area Boundary Pleasanton Outside Outside Outside Livermore (see Inside Inside Inside footnote) East Pleasanton Specific Plan Area Attachment 1 and Attachment 2 also include the East Pleasanton Specific Plan boundary. As shown, SMP -38 and SMP -39 are in close proximity to the specific plan boundary. While Pleasanton's 1996 General Plan land use map identified land uses for what is now the East Pleasanton Specific Plan area, it is the current General Plan (adopted in 2009) that identifies and delineates the East Pleasanton Specific Plan area as a "future specific plan area" and includes seven potential land use designations (not allocated to SMP -40 is within the SOI of both Pleasanton and Livermore; a change to this "shared SOI" is pending further analysis by LAFCo staff. 6 The City of Livermore's General Plan land use map does not identify the Planning Area, but Livermore staff has indicated it includes the Livermore city limits and the area within its SOI, with the rationale that its General Plan identifies a land use for any parcels in Alameda County that may one day become City of Livermore parcels in an annexation. Despite SMP -38 and SMP -39 being outside Livermore's SOI, Livermore's General Plan land use map includes land uses for the subject properties. Therefore, they are noted as being inside Livermore's Planning Area for purposes of this report; however, this could be a point of clarification during future conversations with Livermore.
