ATTACHMENT 11 The proposed 124-acre Staples Ranch development would include an approximately 37-acre auto mall to accommodate the relocation of the Pleasanton Auto Mall, a 46-acre senior continuing care community with a health center, an 11-acre commercial/retail development, a 17-acre community park, and a 5-acre neighborhood park that includes a storm water flow control basin. Access to the auto mall and future commercial development would be from a new road off EI Charro Road with no through connection to Stoneridge Drive except for emergency vehicles. Anew two-lane bridge would extend Stoneridge Drive over the Arroyo Mocho and provide access to the proposed senior continuing care community and parks. The project site is located at the southwest corner of the I-580 and EI Charro Road intersection. Approximately 1.5 acres of the property is located in Pleasanton and is zoned PUD-MDR (Planned Unit Development -Medium Density Residential), and approximately 122.5 acres are located in unincorporated Alameda County. The site would be rezoned/pre-zoned to the following PUD districts: PUD-C (Commercial), PUD-HDR/C (High Density Residential/Commercial), PUD-P (Park), PUD-MDR (Medium Density Residential), or some similar combination of PUD zoning. Mr. Bocian stated that there were three matters before the Planning Commission this evening. He noted that he will present the first two items, which are the Draft Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan Amendment for the Staples Ranch Project and the Rezoning/Pre-Zoning of Staples Ranch, and Rodney Jeung, project manager at PBS&J and Environmental Impact Report (EIR) consultant, will handle the third item, which is the EIR. Mr. Bocian stated that the Staples Ranch project is viewed as a stand-alone document that builds on the Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan (SDSP) adopted in 1989. He noted that the entire SDSP area, except the Staples Ranch area, has been developed under the 1989 Plan. He stated that the guiding documents for this project include the Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan, the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which was entered into between the City of Pleasanton and Alameda County Surplus Property Authority in April 2006 and which set forth a roadmap for project review. He noted that in 2007, Alameda County Surplus Property Authority, City of Livermore, City of Pleasanton, and Vulcan Materials entered into aPre-development and Cooperation Agreement regarding the design, access, and construction of EI Charro Road; and the City entered into aCost-Sharing Agreement with the City of Livermore and Alameda County for flood control improvements and cost-sharing for the construction of EI Charro Road. Mr. Bocian continued that in 1993, the County adopted the Airport Protection Area which is incorporated in the City's General Plan and reflected in the Specific Plan. He added that there is also a State law that sets forth the purpose of the Specific Plan and noted that additional projects and specific conditions of approval can be added during the PUD process, which will begin at some point in the near future.
