Mr. Brozosky recalled that Hacienda had requested keeping all of its entitlements for commercial units as well as adding residential units. Mr. Paxson said that this would be one of the scenarios that Hacienda considers. Keeping in mind the traffic issues, the Project Team will look at how these components will work with one another. As the City is going through with its larger plans in looking at a number of different combinations of traffic cimulation improvements and different types of land use, the Project Team will be doing likewise within the Business Park. The Project Team will be looking at how the different components of office, residential and retail work together. Mr. Sullivan noted that the Planning Commission held several workshops with regard to Hacienda's proposed Specific Plan. The Planning Commission recommended that an economic study be conducted to see what it takes for the project to pencil out, which would include the number of residential units, the square footage of commercial and retail units, and what happens to the existing commemial units. Mr. Paxson said that the economic study is almost complete. He noted that the East Bay Community Foundation was instrumental in helping with the economic study. Hacienda would be releasing an environmental sustainability report that was conducted by Redefining Progress. He is hopeful that an additional retail study report would be available in the next few weeks. Mr. Sullivan asked that these reports be provided to Council as they become available. Mr. Fialho said that staff would make these reports available to Council for its analysis and comments. Ms. McGovem mentioned that when the School District Board considered Hacienda Business Park, there were some interesting ideas as to where the children would attend school. She asked Mr. Paxson if the Project Team would be addressing this issue early on in the project? Mr. Paxson said the School District would be included in the discussions. He noted that the Project Team has started to meet with School District staff and its demographic expert to discuss the types of issues that it will be concerned about. Ms. McGovern said that there was a concern when she was a School Board member that affordable housing only pays $2.00 a square foot for school impact fees. The concern was whether these impact fees would be able to help build an additional school facility. She asked if Hacienda had discussed its Specific Plan proposal with Oracle Corporation. Mr. Paxson said Hacienda would be discussing its proposed Specific Plan with Oracle Corporation sometime this week. Judith Geiselman, a Pleasanton resident, asked Council to make the proposed General Plan time line chart and the scope of work easily accessible to the public. She also asked Council to provide notice of scheduled General Plan workshops as far ahead Pleasanton City Council 7 01/18/05 Minutes
