City of Pleasanton–Spotorno Ranch Reduced Development Project Project Description Initial Study/Addendum 22 FirstCarbon Solutions https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480021/Consistency Checklist/21480021 Spotorno Ranch Consistency Checklist ScreenCheck.docx City staff and environmental consultants. A key concern during the development of the Specific Plan was the retention of the rural characteristics of the HVSP area. A Draft EIR was prepared to analyze the impacts from adopting the Plan (SCH No. 97032034; February 1998). The City held a public hearing on June 16, 1998, and adopted the HVSP Final EIR, the HVSP, and related amendments to the City’s General Plan. The HVSP provided for the development of a maximum of 183 new residences within the entire HVSP planning area, as well as the construction of a “Bypass Road” linking Westbridge Lane with Sycamore Creek Way. As envisioned in HVSP, the Bypass Road would provide access and utilities to 75 lots in the Spotorno Hill area (to date, these lots have not been created), as well as to divert golf course and residential traffic from Happy Valley Road, which is a County-owned and maintained two-lane collector road. The HVSP envisioned that, once constructed, Westbridge Lane would be restricted for through traffic, with a barrier located approximately at 2215 Westbridge Lane. The HVSP designated the Bypass Road location and linked the construction of the Bypass Road in two segments with development of the Spotorno parcels (and funding from the developers and City):4 HVSP Lot 96 with a maximum of five new homes, HVSP Lot 97 with a maximum of 75 new homes, and HVSP Lot 98 with a maximum of 22 new homes. In 2007, a 12-member Happy Valley Blue Ribbon Committee, after 1-year of review and collaboration, recommended—and the City Council accepted—a preferred alternative for a Bypass Road alignment to the City Council. Water, sewer, and other utility systems were extended into portions of the HVSP planning area as part of the golf course development to provide the golf course facility and golf course properties with connections to the municipal system. The service area boundaries of other public services (e.g., police and fire) were also extended into parts of the HVSP area. Exhibit 5 depicts the current HVSP zoning/land use designations for the entire Spotorno Ranch property. • Planned Unit Development—Semi-Rural Density Residential (PUD-SRDR), on the Spotorno Flat Area of Lot 98, which is the proposed project site. This designation allows for one dwelling unit per 2 acres, or up to one dwelling unit per 1.5 acres, with a significant dedication of open space. The latter is equivalent to 22 dwelling units. ADUs are also allowed per the HVSP. 5 • he remainder of the potorno anch site is zoned/designated lannednit evelopment—griculture/pen pace ( -/). Relevant City of Pleasanton Planning Initiatives Measure FF In November 1996, the voters of the City of Pleasanton approved Measure FF, requiring voter approval for all but minor refinements to the City’s UGB. Areas outside the UGB line are generally suitable for the long-term protection of natural resources, large lot agriculture and grazing, parks, 4 City of Pleasanton. 1998. Happy Valley Specific Plan.

Note: Subsequent to the adoption of the HVSP, State law has since preempted approval of ADUs such that an ADU cannot be subject to a conditional use permit. As the project developer has proposed that an ADU be built concurrently with each house, no further authorization is needed for such ADUs.
