Mr. Roush said Granite will have the opportunity to install odor-reducing <br />mitigation measures either now or once relocated. She questioned if environmental <br />review would be required once relocation takes place, and Mr. Roush said the County has <br />taken the position that no CEQA review was required with the relocation. <br />Mary Roberts said the plant makes rubberized asphalt at 4:00 a.m., the odor is horrible <br />and she felt the 40 new homeowners would most likely be complaining. <br />The Mayor closed public comment. <br />Motion: It was M/S by McGovernlThorne to approve and authorize the City Manager to <br />execute a Memorandum of Understanding between the County of Alameda, City of <br />Pleasanton, CEMEX and Granite Construction Co. concerning the relocation of the asphalt <br />plant operated by Granite to another site on the CEMEX property. <br />Ayes: Cook-Kallio, McGovern, Sullivan, Thorne, Mayor Hosterman <br />Noes: None <br />Absent: None <br />17. Public Hearing: PUD-33, James Tong/Charter Properties, Jennifer Lin, Frederic Lin, and <br />Kevin Lin -Consideration of: (1) the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Oak <br />Grove development; (2) an application for a PUD development plan for the Oak Grove <br />development to subdivide an approximately 562-acre site into 51 custom home sites and <br />to designate the remaining area for permanent open space; and (3) the Development <br />Agreement to vest the entitlements covered by this application. The property is located at <br />1400 Hearst Drive, near the present terminus of Hearst Drive on the southerly sides of the <br />Vintage Hills and the Grey Eagle Estates developments and is zoned PUD - RDR/OS <br />(Planned Unit Development -Rural Density ResidentiaVOpen Space) District <br />Planning Director Iserson provided a description of the property and its location, said 66 <br />acres of the 562 acres would be developed with homes and streets and a total of 77 acres <br />would be graded. In addition, 496 acres of permanent open space would be dedicated to <br />the City with a conservation easement to retain the open space in perpetuity. He <br />presented the site's context to the surrounding area, said the original proposal was for 98 <br />lots, an EIR was prepared, staff worked with neighbors and the developer on a number of <br />issues which included traffic, visibility, treatment of open space, fire emergency access, <br />and sizes of houses and the EIR includes many mitigation measures which are included <br />as conditions of approval. <br />The Planning Commission held two public meetings in June 2007 and determined the EIR <br />was not adequate mainly because of visual analysis, did not recommend certification of <br />the EIR and did not take action on the PUD, which effectively denied the project. The <br />applicant has appealed the decision, staff has continued to work with the applicant and <br />neighbors on issues identified, the project was reviewed by the Trails Ad Hoc Committee <br />and the Parks and Recreation Commission who looked at ownership of the open space <br />and trail plan and recommended approval of that portion of the project.
