<br />The continuing care retirement community is unlike a conventional senior <br />community where residents purchase homes or condos, or rent apartments. In the <br />proposed development, residents pay a substantial entrance fee (ranging from around <br />$200,000 to about $800,000) and a monthly fee (ranging from $2,000 to $3,700 for a <br />single person, plus $1,000 per month for an additional person). Both vary with the <br />size and location of the residence selected. Entrance fees are partially to fully <br />repayable when a resident expires or leaves the facility. On average, a continuing <br />care contract lasts for 12 to 15 years. Monthly fees generally go up over time with <br />increases in operating costs, subject to oversight by the Continuing Care Contracts <br />Branch of the Department of Social Services. <br />Community Park: About 17 acres, located just north of the Arroyo Mocho, would be <br />dedicated to the City for a community park. Vehicular access would be limited to a <br />new 2-lane bridge extending Stoneridge Drive over the Arroyo Mocho that would <br />also serve as pedestrian access linking the existing Stoneridge Drive linear park south <br />of the Mocho with the park and the planned regional trail on the north side of the <br />Mocho that will link Pleasanton and Livermore. <br />Future Retail/Office Development: Approximately 12 acres, located to the north of <br />the proposed community park, are proposed to be designated for future retail and/or <br />office development. The SLA does not currently have a developer for this site and is <br />seeking a flexible land use that would set maximum building heights and floor-area- <br />ratios and permit a variety of potential uses, subject to future project-specific review <br />by the City. Potential uses could include additional car dealers, a research and <br />development complex with associated office uses, a warehouse/distribution center, or <br />a mix of uses. Building height would be limited to a maximum of 45 feet to ensure <br />compatibility with adjacent land uses and the Livermore Municipal Airport. A <br />maximum floor-area-ratio (FAR) of 0.25 (gross) for retail development and 0.40 <br />(gross) for other uses would limit development to approximately 130,000 square feet <br />for a completely retail project or approximately 210,000 square feet for a project with <br />no retail component. <br />Vehicular access to the future retail/office development would, like the auto mall, be <br />limited to 1-580 via El Charro Road, or from El Charro Road from the south if this <br />extension is to be made in the future, with no vehicular access to the community park <br />or the senior community. <br />SR 05 :283 <br />Page 3 <br />
