Page 3 of 18 comments received on the DEIR, is expected to be published in March 2025. Once the FEIR is available, the County will be able to schedule public hearings to consider approval of the project with the County Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. Alameda County Housing Element In October 2024, Alameda County published a revised draft Housing Element that included both the Arroyo Lago and East Lakes sites in its sites inventory as “pipeline projects.” On November 6, 2024, City staff submitted a letter about the sites inventory to the County, and then met with County staff on November 21, 2024, and further submitted a second letter, addressed to County staff and Board of Supervisors on November 26, 2024 (both letters are included in Attachment 7). In this communication, City staff raised various concerns about including the East Lakes site in the County’s Housing Element inventory, particularly in light of the significant environmental concerns around the proposed offsite wastewater treatment plant and provision of other public services. County staff considered City comments but elected to not modify the County inventory. On December 12, 2024, the Board of Supervisors adopted the County’s Housing Element, and on December 31, 2024, HCD issued a certification letter. Technical Studies The following technical studies have been or are being prepared to assist the City to review the proposed Arroyo Lago and East Lakes projects: • Fiscal Impact Analysis prepared by EPS (Attachment 3) • Roadway Capacity Analysis prepared by Fehr & Peers • Water Capacity Analysis prepared by Akel Engineering Group • Sanitary Sewer Capacity Analysis prepared by Woodard and Curran Note that each of the studies was prepared under the direction of City staff, with the majority of costs for consultant services paid by the East Pleasanton applicants. Additional information on the key findings of the technical studies is provided in the Discussion section of this report. “City” Alternative Project Designs The applicants have made clear their intent to continue processing both the Arroyo Lago and East Lakes projects in Alameda County, pending any formal decision to proceed with annexation to Pleasanton. However, the applicants have expressed willingness to work with the City to modify the projects in conjunction with an annexation application, and after considering feedback from neighbors of the Arroyo Lago Project, and from City staff regarding both the Arroyo Lago and East Lakes projects, have submitted revised “City” versions of the two projects, outlined below. Arroyo Lago On December 3, 2024, 330 Land Company (the applicant) submitted to the City a preliminary review application for the Arroyo Lago project including the following modifications for a “City” project (Attachment 4 includes excerpted pages from the plan set submitted): • Revised utilities and grading plan. The “City” project would connect to the municipal water and sewer system, eliminating the need for the privately operated wastewater treatment facility and other off-site water and sewer improvements proposed for the County project.
