This document incorporates by reference the project EIR. The EIR and other portions of the administrative record are available for review at: Community Development Department 200 Old Bernal Avenue City of Pleasanton Pleasanton, CA 94566-0802 Contact: Robin Giffin, Associate Planner (925)931-5612 APPROVED PROJECT The Alameda County Surplus Property Authority (ACSPA or "Project Sponsor") proposes to amend the 1989 Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan to revise land use designations, circulation improvements, and financial obligations for the Staples Ranch site. Staples Ranch, owned by the ACSPA, is an approximately 124-acre site of undeveloped land within the 293-acre Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan area. The Project Sponsor seeks to modify the land use plan for the Staples Ranch site to allow for an auto mall, a senior continuing care community, a commercial center, a community park, and a neighborhood park/stormwater detention facility. The proposed project also includes annexation of approximately 165 acres to Pleasanton, consisting of the unincorporated portion of Staples Ranch and adjacent road and flood control right of way, and receiving additional entitlements including, but not limited to, planned unit development (PUD) prezoning and PUD development plans for each of the project developments, a tentative map and final subdivision map(s), public improvement plans, and a development agreement between the ACSPA and the City of Pleasanton. The proposed amendment to the 1989 Specific Plan would also modify EI Charro Road improvements to eliminate the quarry truck tunnels called for in the 1989 Specific Plan and to reflect the improvements described in the September 2007 Pre-Development and Cooperation Agreement between Livermore, Pleasanton, Alameda County, the ACSPA, and Vulcan Materials. As described in the project EIR, the proposed project would amend the Specific Plan circulation improvements so that Stoneridge Drive would not fully extend as a four lane road from its current terminus east of Trevor Parkway to EI Charro Road until after full buildout of the proposed project. Instead, Stoneridge Drive would be extended from its current easterly terminus at Trevor Parkway as a two-lane road over the Arroyo Mocho, providing access to the proposed senior continuing care community, neighborhood park, and the western entrance to the proposed community park. Access to the proposed auto mall, commercial center, and the eastern entrance to the community park would be provided by a new four-lane road off EI Charro Road, identified as Auto Mall Place in the conceptual site plans. Vehicular access between Auto Mall Place and Stoneridge Drive would be limited to emergency vehicles and possibly buses. However, the City has decided to reject this proposed amendment to the Specific Plan's circulation improvements. Rather, as approved, the project will continue to provide a four-lane extension of Stoneridge Drive from its current terminus east of Trevor Parkway Stoneridge Drive Specitic Plan Amendment and Staples Ranch Project Environmental Impact Report Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations Page 2 of47
