The <br />two-acre property was previously occupied by the Tri-Valley Inn & Suites (motel) and an <br />ancillary restaurant building, which have since been demolished. The development includes <br />seven three-story buildings, each with between four and eight residential units accessed from <br />a private loop road extending from Lockhart Lane. <br /> <br />The development application and Vesting Tentative Map 8676 were processed pursuant to <br />California Senate Bill 330 (SB 330), which limited the City’s review to compliance with the <br />City’s sixth-cycle Housing Element Program EIR and City-adopted Objective Design <br />Standards. City Ventures owns the property as Harmony-Pleasanton, L.P., and has partnered <br />with Tri-Pointe Homes Holdings, Inc., a contractor, to construct the project. <br /> <br />Staff reviewed the final map for Tract 8676, improvement plans, subdivision improvement <br />agreement, and agreement for completion of improvements, finding the documents to be in <br />substantial conformance with the requirements of the entitlement approval. Staff, therefore, <br />recommends approval of these documents. See Attachment 1 for a vicinity map. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />1. Authorize the City Engineer to approve the final map (Attachment 2) and improvement <br />plans for Tract 8676. <br />2.

Authorize the City Manager to execute the Subdivision Improvement Agreement <br />(Attachment 3). <br />4. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement for Completion of Improvements <br />(Attachment 4), thus transferring the property owner’s duties and obligations to their <br />contractor. <br /> <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />On October 30, 2023, the City’s Zoning Administrator approved a Design Review application <br />filed as P23-0332 for the 42-unit “Harmony” condominium project subject to conditions of <br />Page 157 of 682
