This document incorporates by reference the project EIR. The EIR and other portions <br />of the administrative record are available for review at: <br />Community Development Department <br />200 Old Bernal Avenue <br />City of Pleasanton <br />Pleasanton, CA 94566-0802 <br />Contact: Robin Giffin, Associate Planner <br />(925)931-5612 <br />PROPOSED PROJECT <br />The Alameda County Surplus Property Authority (ACSPA or "Project Sponsor') <br />proposes to amend the 1989 Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan to revise land use <br />designations, circulation improvements, and financial obligations for the Staples Ranch <br />site, as outlined in an April 2006 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the <br />Project Sponsor and the City of Pleasanton. Staples Ranch, owned by the ACSPA, is <br />an approximately 124-acre site of undeveloped land within the 293-acre Stoneridge <br />Drive Speck Plan area. The Project Sponsor seeks to modify the land use plan for the <br />Staples Ranch site to allow for an auto mall, a senior continuing care community, a <br />commercial center, a community park, and a neighborhood park/stormwater detention <br />facility. The proposed project also includes annexation of approximately 165 acres to <br />Pleasanton, consisting of the unincorporated portion of Staples Ranch and adjacent <br />road and flood control right of way, and receiving additional entitlements including, but <br />not limited to, planned unit development (PUD) prezoning and PUD development plans <br />for each of the project developments, a tentative map and final subdivision map(s), <br />public improvement plans, and a development agreement between the ACSPA and the <br />City of Pleasanton. <br />The Speck Plan circulation improvements would also be modified so that Stoneridge <br />Drive would only be extended from its current easterly terminus at Trevor Parkway as a <br />two-lane road over the Arroyo Mocho, providing access to the proposed senior <br />continuing care community, neighborhood park, and the western entrance to the <br />community park. Access to the auto mall, commercial center, and the eastern entrance <br />to the community park would be provided by a new four-lane road off EI Charro Road, <br />identified as Auto Mall Place in the conceptual site plans. EI Charro Road <br />improvements would be modified to eliminate the quarry truck tunnels called for in the <br />1989 Specific Plan, and the road improvements would reflect the improvements <br />described in the September 2007 Cooperation Agreement between Livermore, <br />Pleasanton, Alameda County, the ACSPA, and Vulcan Materials. <br />The proposed project would not provide athrough-connection between Stoneridge <br />Drive and Auto Mall Place to EI Charro Road, except for emergency vehicles and <br />(potentially) buses. However, the proposed project would preserve afour-lane <br />Stoneridge Drive extension right-of-way through the Staples Ranch site, permitting a <br />Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan Amendment and Staples Ranch Project <br />Endvonmental Impact Report Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations Page 2 of 30 <br />
