multi-family units on the development. He indicated on the map where those are to be placed. He indicated the density will be less than the Stoneridge development at about 20-26 units per acre. At another location on the aim, the multi-family will be about 18 units to the acre, in appearance similar to the Civic Square Apartments. The remainder of the area will be a mixture of single-family housing and some townhomes. Across the arroyo, there will be custom homes with larger lots and smaller lots as you approach the Village Center. Laguna Oaks has 4,000 to 4,500 sq. ft. lots and we envision the predominance of our development will be similar to that. Staff has been working all through the day and weekend trying to make this project work. More details will be available in the presentation next Thursday, December 7th. Mr. Grote indicated there had been some questions regarding trails. This project has trails through the arroyo open space, through the drainage area connecting to the park, also along the major roads. There will not be pedestrian access through the golf course. There are liability and safety questions. No golf course operator allows open access to the public for people not playing golf. In terms of the other questions, they have addressed the gateway and the trailways to the golf course. Ms. Dennis asked him to describe what is in the area above the school site. Mr. Grote indicate single-family homes are proposed for there. There will be some of -- the smaller lot developments, about ten units per acre, similar to the Mohr Park development. Mr. Tarver indicated people were concerned about the impact of the Village Center on downtown businesses. Mr. Grote indicated the good news for downtown is there will be more residences located near downtown. The key is that all downtowns are continually evolving. It is becoming more entertainment/restaurant oriented. He believes this development could benefit that trend. The Village Center is envisioned as a convenience place, where you do your laundry, groceries, etc. The role of the Village Center is for neighborhood uses and will not compete with downtown. Mr. Tarver also referred to questions on traffic and proposed improvements to the roadways to keep the level of service acceptable. Mr. Grote indicated the plan before the County addressed in detail the on-site and off-site improvements to Valley, Case, and throughout. The project is now scaled down considerably. Instead of 750,000 sq. ft. of offxce./commerciai, there is now 577,000 sq. ft. Instead of a top end of 3,400 units, the units are down to 1,900. The traffic studies have just started in terms of looking at the impacts of these numbers. The mitigations will be reduced, the amount of expected improvements will go down because it will be easier to maintain the service levels consistent with Pleasanton's General Plan. He does not have final answers now. 12104195 -7-
