<br />on new land use concepts on two large areas, Staples Ranch and Hacienda Business Park. <br />Workshop #4 was a discussion of several city-wide land use issues. Workshop #5 looked at <br />properties on the east side of Pleasanton that are transitioning from sand and gravel quarrying <br />and other industrial uses. The purpose of tonight's workshop is to discuss potential future land <br />uses for thirteen properties, nine of which are located west of Foothill Road. The following <br />properties are discussed with regard to their land use planning: <br /> <br />1. Westbrook Property: 10890 Dublin Canyon Road <br />2. Sooners Hospital Property: Dublin Canyon Road at Canyon Creek Circle <br />3. Lester Property: Dublin Canyon Road adjacent to Canyon Meadows Drive <br />4. Eliasen Property: 9480 Blessing Drive <br />5. Joel Property: 25 Tehan Canyon Road <br />6. Yee Property: 4100 Foothill Road <br />7. Castle Ridge Kallenberg Property: Old Foothill Road <br />8. Austin Property: Foothill Road adjacent to Alviso Adobe Park <br />9. Russo/Maroon Creek Property: 2188 Foothill Road <br />10. BART Property: Stoneridge Mall Road <br />II. Knuppe Property: 5700 Pleasanton Hill Road <br />12. Evangelical Free Church: 6900 Valley Trails Drive <br />13. Guesthouse Inn: 2025 Santa Rita Road <br /> <br />The location of these properties is shown in Attachment I: Location of Potential Change Areas, <br />and the existing General Plan land use designation for each site is shown in Attachment 2. <br /> <br />FOOTHILL ROAD: REGULATIONS AND PROPERTIES <br /> <br />Properties I though 9 are located west of Foothill Road. These properties are located along the <br />highly scenic and visible western edge of the city where suburban development gives way to <br />rolling hills. <br /> <br />The major issues summarized in the General Plan Update Community Meetings Summary <br />Report that relate directly to sites along Foothill Road include: preserving agriculture and open <br />space, topography, scenic hillside protection, and concern about large single-family homes. <br />Less often noted issues include: maintaining rural densities and life-styles, protecting special <br />status species, oak tree protection, water use, and trail development. In addition, many of the <br />remaining undeveloped parcels in this area include land with steep slopes, geotechnical issues <br />and earthquake fault zones. <br /> <br />In recognition of the visual amenity and rural character of the Foothill Road area, the West <br />Foothill Road Corridor Overlay District was adopted in 1990. This overlay zone seeks to <br />implement the goals and policies of the General Plan as they relate to maintaining the natural <br />beauty and rural character of the Foothill Road corridor. Since this Ordinance applies to many <br />of the sites discussed in this staff report, a brief overview of it is provided in Attachment 6. The <br /> <br />SR 06:065 <br />Page 2 of 12 <br />
