Planning Commission Meeting Agenda Packet (1)

Hidden Canyon Project Draft EIR Planning Commission 5 of 6 Alternative 1 – No Build Under the No Build Alternative (Alternative 1), the proposed project would not be constructed. Instead, it is assumed that under this alternative, existing operations on the project site would continue at the capacity of existing on-site buildings and infrastructure. Alternative 2 – Existing Zoning Under the Existing Zoning Alternative (Alternative 2), the project site would be redeveloped with uses allowed by-right for the existing zoning districts on each parcel. This alternative would not include annexation of the project site into the City. As such, permitted development would be subject to the County’s zoning code. On the project site, each parcel is allowed to develop one single-family dwelling unit. Additionally, since APN 941-2600-002 is over 25 acres in size, the development of a secondary dwelling unit is permitted. Thus, this alternative would result in the development of 5 total dwelling units and 1 secondary dwelling unit. No dedication of land to the EBRPD, parking improvements, or improvements to the Oak Hills Congressional Church access would occur. Alternative 3 – Alternative Site The Alternative Site Alternative (Alternative 3) would utilize a different project site based on the sites identified in the Site Inventory created for the City of Pleasanton 2023 -2031 Housing Element. Alternative 3 would include construction of 28 new detached single-family residential units, which is the same amount of housing units a s the proposed project, and project operations are assumed to be consistent with those of the proposed project. Based on the proposed unit count, Site 26 – St. Augustine (Site 26) from the City’s Site Inventory was selected as the alternative site due to its potential to accommodate the proposed density and the absence of any other entitlement applications submitted for the alternative site. Re -zoning of Site 26 would be required. Because of its location, Alternative 3 would not implement a new public trailhead, traffic signal, water pump, or road improvements. Additionally, this alternative would not include redevelopment of the two existing single-family homes located on the northeastern portion of the project site, annexation of the approximately 2.5-acre church site, or improvements to parking and access to the church site.
