<br />residential and open space uses on the Bonde <br />parcel. To be a practical alternative, land should <br />have at least some similarity in geography and <br />density with a realistic expectation of developing <br />in the same time frame as the Bonde parcel. <br /> <br />Given the relatively small population of <br />Pleasanton, proximate could be argued to mean any <br />lands within or even adjacent to the entire city. <br />Applying that approach, Pleasanton has grown to the <br />natural borders on all four sides -- (1-580 to the <br />north, gravel pits and lakes to the east, rolling <br />hills to the south and the Pleasanton Ridge to the <br />westl and has exhausted any comparable sites at <br />infill locations. <br /> <br />Uses the proximate non-contracted land should be <br />planned for, in order to be comparable to the Bonde <br />property, would be 16 acres of medium density <br />residential (2-8 du/acl, 27 acres of low density <br />residential (<2 du/acl, and 57 acres of rural <br />density residential (1 dU/5 acl land uses, totaling <br />104 acres for 193 dwelling units. "suitable" means <br />that the salient features of the proposed <br />residential use could be served by a parcel or <br />group of parcels which is not in the williamson <br />Act. "Available" means that the type of land must <br />be available in sufficient quantity to meet the <br />requirements of the Pleasanton Plan. <br /> <br />The Bonde property is at an early stage in the <br />mul ti -year development approval sequence. The <br />Bonde property has only recently completed <br />annexation proceedings (1990). Next, the PUD <br />rezoning and PUD development plan must be approved <br />by the city and only then can the owners apply for <br />growth management approval. Growth management <br />approval authorizes subdivision and home <br />construction. The terms of the growth management <br />approval can stagger buildout of the project over <br />several years. <br /> <br />other properties which are SUbstantially ahead of <br />the Bonde parcel in the development approval <br />sequence and thus not suitable and available are <br />the Yee property, the Garms Ranch property, and the <br />Presley Homes property. Two "flatland" sites now <br />subject to specific plan studies the Chu <br />property and the city and County of San Francisco <br />lands. These properties vary from the Bonde parcel <br />in that their flat topography and their location <br />adjacent to several major arterial streets makes <br />their development more appropriate for tract <br />
