Box 520 Pleasanton, CA 94566 Email: [email protected] IDDDEN CANYON RESIDENCES AND PRESERVE PROJECT Project Location, Surrounding Uses, and Access The project site comprises four parcels (APNs 941-2500-002, 941-2500-003, 941-2600-002-06, and 941-2700-002) located immediately west of the City limit line toward the northwestern portion of the City of Pleasanton, Alameda County, California. Two of the four parcels (APNs 941-2500-002 and 941-2500-003) are currently developed with an existing single-family home on each parcel. The project site is roughly bound by Dublin Canyon Road to the north; undeveloped land owned and designated as "land bank" by East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) to the east and south; and privately-owned agricultural lands to the west. Hills and ridges dominate the topography of the project site, sloping down to Devaney Creek, which roughly parallels the eastern and southern boundaries of the site. The project site is bordered on the north, across Dublin Canyon Road, by single-family homes within the Canyon Creek subdivision, Canyon Meadows Condominiums, and single-family homes on large parcels. The Preserve, Oak Hill Estates, and Kolb Ranch Estates single-family home developments are located to the east and southeast. EBRPD's Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park is located to the south and agricultural and grazing lands on very large lots and a single- family home are located to the west. Vehicular access to the project site is provided via Dublin Canyon Road. Regional access to the project site is provided via Interstate 580 (1-580) Freeway at the San Ramon Road/Foothill Road Interchange, which is located approximately 0.73-mile east of the project site. Dublin Canyon • Road provides intermittent Class II striping for bicyclists along some segments; however, the bicycle lanes do not provide a full 5-foot width in all locations. Project Description The project sponsor, Ponderosa Homes III, Inc., is proposing to annex, rezone and subdivide the project site to build 31 single-family residential lots and roadways on approximately 12.4 acres of the project site, and permanently preserve approximately 115 .60 acres as open space, both for private residents' use and proposed dedication (approximately 69 acres) to EBRPD. The proposed developed area would be on the hillsides in the eastern and central areas of the project site and the remaining areas to the south and west of the project site would be preserved as open space. Residential lots would range in size from 7,223 square feet (0.17 acre) to 47,943 square feet (1.10 acre). The gated residential subdivision would include 29 new single-family homes located between Devaney Creek and Dublin Canyon Road and two additional lots/new homes to replace the existing homes owned by the Lester family at 11033 and 11021 Dublin Canyon Road, located on the northeast side of the project site. The two replacement homes are intended to be FirstCarbon Solutions 2 . ..
