Mr. Duel indicated firat at the beginning the plan w~s m have eight identical buildings, but that was not acceptable. They arc now proposing four different buildings, with different elevations along the same theme. Ms. Michelotti preferred the first proposal for the commercial building. Mr. Duel said that was the second choice of the Planning Commission. Mayor Tarver thought there was to be a mix of eight diflbrent buildings and was not certain a change offa~;ade would accomplish the variety he would like to see. Ms. Ayala expressed her strong desire to have a single user for the commercial site. Mr. Costanzo indicated Greenbriar is still looking thr a single campus user. He then reviewed site planning issues. Alternative 5 and 6 were selected from the previous meetings which included parks in the residential neighborhoods and incorporating for- sale, below market rate homes throughout some of the for-sale neighborhoods. Other comments were to take as much housing as possible off the central parcel to leave as much contiguous open space as possible. The direction was to move housing onto the east parcel. He indicated there are environmental issues regarding that parcel that could delay the process and add development costs. Mayor Tarver asked for an explanation of the nationwide permit. Mr. Costanzo said that is an Army Corps of Englneers permit needed to develop that side of the property. The type of permit depends on how much the project impacts waterways. The nationwide permit is an easier process if the project fills less than 300 feet of a waterway. If more than 300 feet is filled, then an individual permit is required. Nationwide permits take about six months to a year to process and individual permits take eighteen months or more, depending on the issues raised. There are established guidelines, but there is always subjeativity based on the person or agency doing the review and more conditions could be imposed. He then described how the project on the east side was designed to stay away from lhe waterways. The other considerations were how to provide the affordable housing mix that was requested and how to remove housing from the central parcel and relocate it. He then presented a summary sheet lbr nine scenarios and described illustrations for Alternatives 7A, 7B and 7C. Akernative 7A (581 market rata/87 below market rata) includes 114 lots of S000 sq. re.each on that east parcel. He described the water areas that must be avoided. This takes all the 5000 sq. ~. lots from the northern and central parcels. This also provides 13 additional lots to allow more below market rote lots. Those will be duets on comer lots~ Each of the duet units would be 1350 sq. ft., 3 bedroom, 2-1/2 bath units. The central parcel would then have apamncnts on the village plaza, with 4000 sq.ft. lots arotmd them Pleasanton City Council 14 07/18/00 Minutes
