August 30, 2024 Emily Carroll, Associate Planner City of Pleasanton, Community Development Department P.O. Box 520 Pleasanton, CA 94566 Re: Scope of Work for the Vineyard Avenue Residential Project Modified Initial Study Checklist Dear Ms. Carroll: On behalf of Raney, a division of Raney Planning & Management, Inc., I am pleased to submit the following scope of work for preparation of a Modified Initial Study (IS) Checklist for the Vineyard Avenue Residential Project (proposed project). The following scope of work has been tailored based on the information provided to date. The scope of work may be further refined in coordination with you and City staff, as needed. We look forward to the opportunity to work with you on this project. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING Project Location The approximately 10.64-acre project site (APN 946-461-1) is located at 1 Vineyard Avenue in the City of Pleasanton, California. The project site is undeveloped with seasonal grasses and shrubs. Surrounding existing land uses include open space and the Cemex-Pleasanton Eliot Aggregates Quarry to the north, across Vineyard Avenue; a vineyard and single-family residences to the east, across Manoir Lane; single-family residences to the south, across Old Vineyard Avenue; and a vineyard and single-family residences to the west, across Thiessen Street. The site is currently owned by the Pleasanton Unified School District (PUSD) and located within the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan Area. The City of Pleasanton 2023-2031 Housing Element and associated Environmental Impact Report (EIR) identified the southern seven acres of the project site as a future rezone area known as PUSD- Vineyard (Area 27), with a density of three to four dwelling units and maximum capacity of 28 units on seven buildable acres. It is our understanding that, while a Rezone of the site was not approved as part of the Housing Element Update, the City did approve a General Plan Amendment to add a Housing Element Sites Overlay land use designation to the site. As such, the City zoning designation for the site remains Planned Unit Development (PUD) – Elementary School, while the City’s General Plan land use designation for the site is Other Public Institutional with a Housing Element Sites Overlay (HEO) on the southern seven acres of the project site. Project Description The applicant team has provided two conceptual site plans for the proposed project: Single Open Space Design (Site Plan 1) and Split Open Space Design (Site Plan 2), which are discussed below.
