on new land use concepts on two large areas, Staples Ranch and Hacienda Business Park. Workshop #4 was a discussion of several city-wide land use issues. The purpose of tonight's workshop is to discuss potential future land uses for several properties on the east side of Pleasanton. Joint Workshop #6 will focus on land use options for properties on the west side and other locations in Pleasanton. As shown in the attached schedule (Attachment 7), we anticipate concluding the land use discussions in March, and reaching general agreement on a Preferred Land Use and Circulation Plan in October, 2006. EAST SIDE PROPERTIES AND RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT On April 22, 2004, the Planning Commission discussed potential future land uses for east side properties and heard presentations from several east side property owners, some of whom proposed residential development. This matter was further discussed at a Joint Meeting of the City Council and Planning Commission on June 29, 2004, and at that time, the City Council did not support high density housing in this location, other than on Staples Ranch. Attachment 1 to this City Council report provides an overview of the residential units that remain under the 29,000 unit residential cap. Ifbetween 200 and 500 units are reserved for a future General Plan update, units that remain to be planned total approximately 1,100 to 1,400. The proposals for a Hacienda TOD, for residential development adjacent to the planned Stoneridge BART station, and at Staples Ranch (depending on the City Council's determination on Continuing Care Senior Community units), would easily use up the remaining residential units. Although land use Option 2 for the Hanson and Kiewit sites is described as transit-oriented development, staff does not believe the existing or potential public transit services and facilities would ensure a successful TOD in this location. In addition, potential land use conflicts including adjacency to the railroad, to remaining quarrying operations, and to the garbage transfer and recycling center would make residential development problematic. Therefore, staff is not recommending land use designation changes to residential on the properties discussed below. POTENTIAL LAND USE DESIGNATION CHANGES ON EAST SIDE PROPERTIES There are several properties on the east side of Pleasant on which were previously identified as undergoing transition from former uses or which for other reasons are being considered as potential land use change areas. These are identified on the map in Attachment 2, and are described below: Hanson Aggregates: This property (previously owned by Kaiser) has been the location of sand and gravel quarrying since the 1920's and is currently undergoing reclamation and clean up. The property consists of several parcels shown in detail on the Maps in Attachment 3, and consisting of parcels directly north and south of Busch Road and on the west and east side of EI Charro Road totaling 288 acres (Parcels A through F), and a parcel north of Lake I (Parcel G) of 24.2 acres.
