6A - pLEASANTONo SUBJECT City Council Staff Report April 18, 2006 Assistant City Manager Planning Department Law Department MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE ALAMEDA COUNTY SURPLUS PROPERTY AUTHORITY AND THE CITY OF PLEASANTON CONCERNING THE STAPLES RANCH STAFF RECOMMENDATION: SUMMARY SR:06:100 Page I Authorize the City Manager to sign the Memorandum of Understanding. Alameda County, acting through its Surplus Property Authority, proposes to sell 124 acres, known as Staples Ranch, but wishes to obtain certain development entitlements from the City before selling the property. The entitlements would allow the property to be developed as an auto mall site, a senior continuing care facility, a community park, and (as of now undefined) other commercial uses. To accomplish that, the Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan would need to be amended in certain respects and the County needs certain assurances from the City as to the development fees that the developers of the auto mall site will be expected to pay. The Memorandum of Understanding (Attachment I) would, in essence, create a road map and set forth a timeline for these entitlements to be in place. Nothing in the Memorandum requires the City to approve any of the land use applications that will be submitted or limits the Council's authority to impose reasonable conditions if the applications are approved. It simply provides assurances to the County that the City will consider expeditiously but thoroughly these issues.
