<br />800 units plus supporting skilled nursing facilities, a 172: acre community park, and 17+ acres for <br />future commercial uses. <br /> <br />Shortly after approval of the MOD, the City was approached by the San Jose Arena Management <br />LLC ("SJAM") regarding a joint public- private development of an ice rink on the City park <br />proposed for Staples Ranch. SJAM is an affiliate of the San Jose Sharks and operates all of the <br />facilities associated with the San Jose Sharks professional hockey team including HP Pavilion, <br />and Sharks Ice rinks in San Jose and Fremont. <br /> <br />The basic development concept includes construction of an approximately 83,000 square foot <br />facility with two National Hockey League sized ice rinks and would be constructed to <br />accommodate facility expansion to 134,000 sq ft with four ice rinks. Parking is estimated at 380 <br />spaces. The facility will include a main lobby and reception area, 10 dressing rooms, seating for <br />300, public restrooms and lockers, a food court, a hockey proshop, conference rooms, <br />management offices and room for skate rental and storage. <br /> <br />As envisioned, and based on the firm's current servicelbusiness model, the facility will provide a <br />full range of services to promote and facilitate ice-skating. Anticipated programs include: <br />. Open public skating <br />. Youth and adult hockey including team play and instruction at various competition levels <br />. Speed and figure skating and ice dancing <br />. High school hockey programs <br />. Special events for birthdays and holidays <br />. Curling <br />. Speedskating <br />. Hockey tournaments <br />. Sled hockey for physically disabled <br />. Hockey schools and camps <br />. Corporate parties and team building <br />. Specialty clinics <br /> <br />The Sharks propose to work closely with the City's Parks and Community Services Department <br />to coordinate community facility events, including special needs programs, cooperative programs <br />with the Pleasanton Unified School District and free hockey sessions. <br /> <br />The Sharks propose to own and operate the facility in a manner similar to facilities it operates in <br />Fremont and San Jose. Development of this facility represents an extension of its <br />marketing/service plan to market the Sharks professional hockey team and promote ice rink <br />recreational services in a community collaborative environment. <br /> <br />As the Council is aware, this development is not part of the Council's annual work plan and as a <br />result, staff has not spent any significant time discussing project details. Nevertheless, we have <br />discussed a rough outline of a financial structure that includes the City will provide the land, <br />SR 06:231 <br />Page 2 <br />
