PUD Develoament Plan Two proposed buildings would be clustered together with landscaped corridors and active and passive recreation areas in between the buildings on a raised podium. The 350 units include 213 one-bedroom units, 130 two-bedroom units, and 7three-bedroom units. Please see the "Building Summary" table on the cover sheet of the proposed plans for a detailed breakdown of the unit types and sizes. The buildings would have four apartment floors over two levels of parking or, for the units with lofts, four apartment floors plus a loft level over one level of parking. For the retail portion, four apartment floors would be over the ground-level retail floor. The buildings would have a maximum height of approximately 68 feet, as measured from the grade at the exterior of the building to the top of the tower element located at the southwest corner of the building. Other portions of the building vary from 49- to 66-feet tall. Approximately 13,566 square feet of first floor retail space and an approximately 2,350- square-foot leasing office would be located at the southern end of the building. The applicant has provided an approximately 1,040-square-foot space along the western side of the building for administrative office use by the Pleasanton Police Department and BART Police. An approximately 720-square-foot retail "kiosk" building would be located next to the southeastern corner of the BART parking garage. On-site parking would be provided through two levels of garage parking and uncovered surface parking spaces. A total of 460 resident parking spaces would be located in the two parking garage levels. At least one covered space would be provided for, and assigned to, each apartment unit. Retail and leasing office parking would be provided through 70 garage parking spaces (58 spaces for retail uses and 12 spaces for the leasing office). Electronic gates in the garage would separate the retail/leasing office parking from the resident parking. A total of 222 uncovered surface parking spaces for apartment guests would be located at the northern (rear) portion of the site adjacent to the I-580 freeway. After hours parking for apartment guests would also be allowed in the 70 retail/leasing office spaces in the parking garage. Since all 222 of the spaces in the rear parking lot are not needed to meet the 50 visitor spaces required by the Municipal Code, a condition of approval requires that 71 of the 222 parking spaces be designated for use by the apartment residents. In addition, in the event that the proposed retail parking spaces do not meet the parking demand after the project is in operation, a condition of approval requires that some of the 222 surface parking spaces be designated for employee parking. Affordable Housing Aareement The City's Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance (IZO) requires that at least 15 percent of the units (53 units) be made affordable to very-low- and/or low-income households. Windstar and staff have developed an affordable housing agreement which exceeds the requirements of the City's IZO in both numbers of units and level of affordability. A total of 70 units (20 percent) would be rented at rates affordable to very-low-income households. The affordable units would generally be divided proportionately among the Page 5 of 9
