Box 520 <br />Pleasanton, CA 94566 <br />mcampbell@cityofpleasantonca.gov <br />Re: Comment Letter Regarding Environmental Impact Report for the City’s <br />Housing Element Update <br />Dear Ms. Campbell: <br />This office represents Seefried Properties (“Seefried”), which is the developer acting <br />on behalf of the owner of a 53-acre property commonly known as the “Kiewit Site”at <br />3300 Busch Road in the City. As the representative of the owner of the largest <br />vacant1 “Potential Site for Rezoning”, Seefried appreciates the opportunity, as a <br />major stakeholder, to actively participate in the City’s Housing Element Update <br />(“HEU”)and review of the related Draft Environmental Impact Report (“DEIR”). <br />Seefried has engaged a sophisticated development team committed to delivering <br />several hundred single-family, multi-family, and ADU units affordable to a range of <br />household income levels, along with a range of potential amenities, improvements, <br />and infrastructure for the benefit of the contemplated development and broader <br />Pleasanton community (the “Kiewit Project”)at the Kiewit Site. By delivering these <br />residential units, the Kiewit Project would be assisting the City in making significant <br />and rapid progress towards satisfying its RHNA obligations. We appreciate the <br />City’s diligent efforts in preparing the Draft HEU and DEIR. In the spirit of working <br />with City staff to prepare a robust and legally compliant EIR for the HEU we have a <br />few brief comments set forth below for the City’s consideration. <br />1 The site is currently occupied by a short-term tenant utilizing the Kiewit Site for <br />outdoor crane equipment storage. <br />6(()5,(' <br />3DJHRI <br />
