The development for SMP-40 includes the development of two industrial buildings containing up to approximately 759,275 sf of new building space with related internal roadways, parking, landscaping, utilities, and other improvements. The proposed project would include frontage improvements along SMP-39 and right-of-way dedication for the ultimate buildout of West Jack London Boulevard. No development plan was proposed for SMP-38, but the long-term intention indicated by Livermore was to also annex and develop this property within Livermore; annexation would also necessitate an SOI amendment. During project review, and based on feedback from Pleasanton staff, SMP-38 is no longer part of the application or proposal to amend the SOI. However, to the extent it has a relationship to the other properties and a bearing on the Council’s decision, it is discussed below. With Livermore staff and CEQA review now complete, the project is scheduled to come to public hearings with Livermore’s Planning Commission and City Council in February and March, respectively. Then thereafter to Alameda County LAFCO for a public hearing. Political Boundaries Several established boundaries are relevant to the disposition of the parcels/properties in question, including the Sphere of Influence, Planning Area, Urban Growth Boundary, and City Limits. Figure 2 shows the location of the three parcels, relative to these boundaries for Livermore and Pleasanton, respectively. Table 1 summarizes each of these boundaries for both Pleasanton and Livermore. • Sphere of Influence: Both Livermore and Pleasanton have designated Spheres of Influence (SOIs). California Government Code §56076 defines a sphere of influence as a plan for the probable physical boundaries and service area of a local agency, as determined by LAFCO. LAFCO most recently adopted Pleasanton’s SOI, and that of all jurisdictions within Alameda County, in January 2018. Per these adopted boundaries, SMP 38 and SMP 39 are located inside Pleasanton’s SOI and outside Livermore’s SOI. SMP 40 is within the SOI of Livermore. • Planning Area: In accordance with California 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 this case, all three parcels are outside Pleasanton’s Planning Area, but inside Livermore’s Planning Area. • City Limits: The City limits reflect the lands currently a part of the incorporated City of Pleasanton (or Livermore). As noted, all of the parcels are outside both the City Limits of Pleasanton and Livermore. • Urban Growth Boundary (UGB): The Pleasanton General Plan indicates the urban growth boundary is a line distinguishing land generally suitable for urban development from land generally suitable for long-term open-space protection. The intent of the UGB is to permanently define the line beyond which urban development may not occur. The City's 1996 General Plan established a UGB and Pleasanton voters ratified the UGB with approval of Measure FF, also in 1996. All three parcels are outside Pleasanton’s Page 19 of 228
