The continuing care retirement community would be located to the east of an existing residential neighborhood, approximately 1.5 miles from commercial services and about 4 miles from the Pleasanton Senior Center. The project developer intends to buffer the north side of the development from the freeway with a substantial landscaped berm. The residential units would be located outside of the Livermore Airport Protection Area Boundary. A senior community, especially one providing services onsite, would be more self-contained than other types of residential development. However, staff believes the on-going provision of a high level of support, recreation, and transportation services by the developer will be vital to the success of this project, and to minimizing impacts on City services. . Stoneridge Drive. The preliminary proposal shows a new two-lane bridge extending Stoneridge Drive over the Arroyo Mocho and ending with driveways serving the senior community and community park. Similarly, from the east, Stoneridge Drive is extended a short distance from El Charro Road with driveways serving the auto mall and future commercial. An EVA would connect the two sections of Stoneridge Drive. This configuration does not preclude a potential future connection of Stoneridge Drive, and at the same time addresses the feedback heard from the City Council during the General Plan circulation network discussions. FUTURE ENTITLEMENT PROCESS If the City Council indicates an interest in seeing this preliminary proposal proceed, the County and the developers would apply to the City for several entitlements, including: . An amendment to the Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan . A PUD rezoning . Annexation . A development agreement . A parcel map A first step in that process would be the preparation of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and the Surplus Land Authority, outlining the development entitlement process, schedule, and responsibilities. If the City Council concurs, staff intends to bring an MOU to the City Council for approval within the next month. Staff believes that this proposal, as currently described, will not require an amendment of the existing General Plan. The Land Use Element of the General Plan (p. II-7) states that properties within Specific Plan areas"... are subject to the land uses, densities, public improvements, and other requirements specified in the Specific Plan prepared for that area. The land uses, densities, and street alignments shown on the General Plan Map within these SR 05:283 Page 5
