Development Agreement Modifications On December 6, 1983 the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1113 approving the original Development Agreement between the City of Pleasanton and the developer Callahan-Pentz Properties, Pleasanton, a California General Partnership. This agreement outlined the facts, understandings, and intentions related to the development of the Hacienda Business Park Planned Unit Development. The Planned Unit Development, PUD-81-30, was adopted by the City Council as Ordinance 1109 on November 22, 1983. The Development Agreement was approved for a period of twenty-five (25) years which would protect the interests of the citizens in the quality of their community and environment through the approved Planned Unit Development (PUD-81-30) as well as protect the investment of the developer through the planned buildout of Hacienda Business Park. As discussed in the Background section of this report, the City Council adopted the Hacienda Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Standards and Design Guidelines to provide direction in regard to uses, density, affordability, building mass and height, setbacks, open space, parking, access, and street character for three vacant sites in Hacienda Park (i.e., Sites 1, 2, and 3). Since the Development Agreement and subsequent amendments did not included and/or address these TOD Standards and Guidelines, and because the Development Agreement will expire before development can occur, the applicant is requesting to modify the Development Agreement to 1) extend the term of the Development Agreement to five years from the date of approval of the two Development Plans, and incorporate approval of the development standards and design guidelines of the Hacienda TOD Standards and Design Guidelines. Staff supports the request to extend the Development Agreement and believes that the Planning Commission should provide a positive recommendation to the City Council. Please refer to Exhibit J for the Development Agreement Amendments. PUD CONSIDERATIONS The Zoning Ordinance of the Pleasanton Municipal Code sets forth purposes of the Planned Unit Development District and "considerations" to be addressed in reviewing a PUD development plan. Staff has provided those considerations and with staff's analysis below. 1. Whether the plan is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general welfare: The proposed projects, as conditioned, meet all applicable City standards concerning public health, safety, and welfare. The subject developments would include the installation of all required on-site utilities with connections to municipal systems in order to serve the new developments. As conditioned, the project will not generate volumes of traffic that cannot be accommodated/mitigated by the existing City streets and intersections or required road changes/improvements outlined in the TOD standards. The structures would be designed to meet the requirements of the Uniform Building Code, Fire Code, and other applicable City codes. The proposed developments are compatible with the adjacent sites and there uses and would be consistent with the existing scale and character of the area. The project also would provide affordable rental housing (38 units on each site) and help the City to meet its requirements for provision of lower income housing.
