Pleosonton Unified School District CITY OF PLEASANTON iul 15 2r,22 CITY MANAGER rnent hily 13,2022 City of Pleasanton Gerry Beaudin City Manager 200 Old BernalAvenue Pleasanton, CA94566 RE: Donlon Elementary School Field and Housing Element Plan Dear Gerry: On October 28,2021, the District sent City staff a letter requesting that three District properties be included in the 6th cycle of the City's Housing Element Plan. The properties include the District Office (Area 25), vacant property off of Vineyard Road (Area 27), and a portion of the Donlon School Field (Area 3). After an extensive review process, the City Council voted to include all three properties for further consideration in the Environmental Review Process. Since the inclusion of a portion of the Donlon School Field (Area 3) in the Housing Element Plan process, the District has engaged with various community groups and has received helpful input from ihe schoot community. Foltowing extensive community engagement and after careful consideration of our long term objectives, I respectfully request that the City remove the Donlon Field (Area 3) from the Housing Element Plan list. I look forward to continuing our discussions and working to build consensus around a plan that will benefit both the Donlon school and wider Pleasanton community. ln that spirit, we ask the City to consider the following: l. Consider entering into a Joint Use Agreement relating to the Donlon Field that would provide both the local community and school with open field space that serves students, families, residents and various recreation programs. 2. Regarding the PUSD Vineyard property (Area 27).we request the Cify allow the entire 10-acre site to be designated for housing, with some element of open space in the project, in the Housing Element Plan per the proposed housing density. This will maximize the value of the asset and allow the District to leverage funding needed to address critical school facility improvements. 3. For the District Office property (Area 25), we request the City allow the maximum density of 163 units on 7-acres of the l0 acre property. As you are aware, the District is evaluating the possibility of 4665 Bernal Avenue, Pleasanton, Califomia 94566.925.462-4332. wwrv pleasantonusd-net FAX: 925.484-3591
