Resolution No. 91-78 that is proposed. To be a practical alternative, land should have at least some similarity in geography and density, with a realistic expectation of developing in the same time frame as the Bonde Ranch property. In order to be comparable to the Bonde property, the proximate noncontracted land would have to be planned in 16 acres of medium density residential (2-8 du/ac), 27 acres of low density residential (<2 du/ac), and 57 acres of rural density residential (1 dU/5 ac) land uses, totaling 104 acres for 193 dwelling units. No other proximate noncontracted land meets these criteria. Moreover, other developments in the Pleasanton vicinity which potentially could provide the housing/open space mix to be provided by this development are either significantly further along, or further behind, in the development process, or are significantly different project types. The Bonde Ranch property is at an early stage in the multiyear development approval sequence. The Bonde Ranch property has only recently (1990) completed annexation proceedings. Next, a PUD development plan must be approved by the city. Only then can growth management approval, which authorizes subdivision and custom home construction, be obtained. Typically the terms of the growth management approval stagger buildout of the project over several years. other projects substantially ahead of the Bonde Ranch property in the development approval sequence and thus neither suitable nor available are the Yee property, the Garms Ranch property, and the Presley Homes (Laurel Creek) property. There are two "flatland" properties now subject to specific plan studies - the Chu property and the City and County of San Francisco lands. These properties vary from the Bonde Ranch property in that their flat topography and their location adjacent to several major arterial streets makes their development at tract housing densities more appropriate, as reflected by the density designations on the General Plan. 4
