MEMORANDUM Date: February 14, 2025 To: Mayor and City Council From: Gerry Beaudin, City Manager Ellen Clark, Director of Community Development Subject: February 18, 2025, Agenda Item No. 9: Receive updates on residential development proposals on two properties in East Pleasanton outside the City Limits At its February 4, 2025, regular meeting, the above-referenced item was continued to the City Council’s meeting on February 18, 2025. This supplemental memo addresses City Council questions received after the February 4 meeting. 1: Traffic Report – Does the traffic report include analysis/information for the East Lakes project as both an age-restricted and not age-restricted project? The traffic analysis was started in mid-December and includes 14 model runs. The modeling was already underway when staff were informed of the possible alternative housing types. Instead of altering the modeling assumptions, staff elected to retain the senior housing (age- restricted) assumption and evaluate any changes in housing type after the modeling was completed. The modeling data shows a four-lane El Charro Road is necessary prior to any development of East Lakes; any intensification of trip generation would adjust the cost sharing percentages but not the timing of the roadway. 2: Has Pleasanton Unified School District (PUSD) taken a position on the project(s)? No, to date the PUSD board or staff have not taken a formal position on the project(s). 2.a: Does PUSD have capacity in the school system? Staff discussed the proposed preliminary projects with PUSD. School district staff indicated that, due to declining enrollment, the school district expects to have sufficient capacity for additional students generated from the projects. Residential development in East Pleasanton could, however, create challenges for elementary school boundaries due to projected future enrollment at individual schools. Mohr Elementary School would have the greatest capacity to absorb students from new East Pleasanton development, however, improved vehicle and bicycle/pedestrian connections from East Pleasanton to Mohr Elementary School would be necessary to provide convenient school access while minimizing traffic impacts. 2.b: Does the City have concerns about traffic impacts from more students at schools? City and PUSD staff work together frequently to address school congestion issues. Traffic to/from school sites is not specifically analyzed when evaluating a development project; an
