Pleasanton Unified School District (PUSD) Sites, Sites 3 (Donlon), 25 (District), and 27 <br />(Vinevard): Support was shown for the three PUSD sites by a number of participants, <br />particularly Site 25, the more centrally located District office property, and specifically if <br />the sites could be incentivized to be developed with lower-income housing with <br />emphasis on workforce/teacher housing for teachers in the district. However, some <br />participants raised concerns were raised since the majority of the sites are located in <br />established single family neighborhoods and may cause additional traffic impacts. <br />Some participants questioned whether additional residential development could <br />increase school enrollment and impact PUSD in already impacted areas (for some, with <br />the implication that these sites no longer being available for schools' facilities would be <br />a negative). <br />Individual participants raised focused concerns about some specific sites (e.g. participants in <br />one group noted that the ValleyCare site (Site 10) may not be suitable since it may be needed <br />for future medical facilities to meet community needs; another raised objections to the <br />development of the Lester property (Site 1) due to its potential to degrade the hillsides). <br />Similarly, individuals in some groups expressed support for specific sites. <br />PRELIMINARY SITES LIST AND INITIAL ANALYSIS <br />Since staff presented the initial list of sites under consideration, an additional site was <br />proposed for consideration by Oracle for a vacant 3 -acre portion of its property located at 5805 <br />Owens Drive within Hacienda. The site, identified as Site 29 in the attached, updated <br />inventory, has close freeway access and is immediately adjacent to the Dublin/Pleasanton <br />BART station which is a site currently designated for High Density housing'. Proximate uses <br />comprise existing large-scale (4-5 story) commercial office buildings. As such, staff is <br />recommending that the Oracle site be considered for high density housing with a range of 45- <br />75 du/ac; at that density the assumed capacity for the site is 135 units. <br />Staff completed the scoring for Site #29 under the previously -adopted criteria and framework. <br />Due to its close proximity to transit, this site now has the highest score among all of the sites, <br />with a score of 27. Staff has revised the Preliminary Sites Inventory - Data Summaries and <br />Ranking for Sites Under Consideration, Version 3 dated December 8, 2021 (Exhibit A) to <br />include the Oracle site. Staff has also created a Housing Element Update: Preliminary Sites <br />Inventory Summary Sheet included in Exhibit B for reference. <br />Revised Housina Sites List <br />The updated sites inventory now includes a total of 29 properties or areas to be considered for <br />rezoning to allow residential development. Table 1 in this report lists each site and summarizes <br />additional information including site size, and potential capacity in various affordability <br />categories. As noted, each site has been assigned a preliminary density range, based on <br />various factors including site location and context, size, and other considerations; potential <br />capacity has been estimated based on an average density for the range. The list is keyed to a <br />map, included in Exhibit A, generally organized geographically (i.e. the numbering does not <br />reflect a ranking). <br />A 2017 state law, AB 2923, requires a minimum density of 75 du/ac to be allowed on BART -owned property; this density is <br />therefore assumed for half of the adjacent BART parking lot, with the remainder reserved for replacement BART parking. <br />Housing Element Update Planning Commission <br />4of14 <br />
