4. Applied Biosystems campus on Sunol Boulevard: Changing from General and Limited Industrial to Business Park. The proposed redesignation of the Applied Biosystems site to Business Park is consistent with the high quality, campus-like development on the property. 5. Property owned by San Francisco Water District and various other owners: The 1996 General Plan Land Use Map showed a large "tail" of property south of Happy Valley Road, west of I-680, and extending down almost to the community of Sunol designated as Parks and Recreation. Most of this property is outside the Urban Growth Boundary, except for two parcels just south of Happy Valley Road. Most of this property is owned by the San Francisco Water District; however, there are privately-owned parcels in this area also designated Parks and Recreation. This designation is meant to be limited to public parks. Therefore staff is recommending changing the land use designation for most of the area to Open Space -- Agriculture and Grazing. This designation reflects the use of the land and generally allows for one residence on a legal lot. Two parcels directly south of Happy Valley Road (owned by Mr. Roman) which are within the Urban Growth Boundary are recommended for redesignation to the alternative Low Density Residential designation which allows one dwelling unit per two gross acres, with one unit per one-and-one-half gross acres when developed in conjunction with major open space land or agriculture/open space easement dedication. This designation has been applied to other residential parcels in the Happy Valley area. The Roman parcels total about 9 acres. Although much of the east side of the Roman property is steeply sloped and forms a berm adjacent to the freeway, the parcels include two flatter areas that may be suitable for limited residential development. 6. East Pleasanton Specific Plan Area: Changing from Sand and Gravel Harvesting, General and Limited Industrial, Parks and Recreation, and Public and Institutional to Future Specific Plan Area with Business Park, General and Limited Industrial, Commercial, High Density Residential, Park and Recreation, and Public and Institutional as potential uses. This area includes over 1,000 acres of land reclaimed from sand and gravel harvesting (owned by Kiewit and Hanson) and lakes now owned by Zone 7 Water Agency. It is proposed that the lakes be designated as Water Management and Recreation, consistent with Zone 7's Stream Management Master Plan, and that the future use of the whole area be determined by a Specific Plan. 7. Busch Property Parcel formerly under option by PUSD: At the time of the approval of the development plan for the Busch Property (PUD-18) a General Plan amendment was approved that included a 22.7 acre parcel to be designated Public and Institutional (Future School)/Medium Density Residential with the intent to reserve this parcel for a school site, and, if it was found by the Pleasanton Unified School District not to be needed for a school site, that it would be developed as medium density residential senior housing as specified in the PUD. In March 2007, the Pleasanton Unified School District released their option on the property. Therefore, staff is recommending that the parcel be designated Medium Density Residential on the Draft Land Use Map. Page 7 of 10
