CITY COUNCIL & PC JOINT WORKSHOP AGENDA PACKET

Page 11 of 14 Garbage Service (PGS). PGS is the solid waste collection service provider in Pleasanton. The City has a franchise agreement with PGS which gives PGS exclusive right to collect and transport solid waste from all residential, commercial, and industrial waste generators in the city. The PGS franchise agreement is due to expire in June 2029; the City is currently studying options with respect to the franchise agreement. The transfer station serves as a public drop-off facility for solid waste, electronic waste, and household hazardous waste. The waste transfer station property is 7.5 acres in size. Due to size limitations, PGS recently leased an approximately 2.5-acre site from Steelwave, east of El Charro, for storage of unloaded garbage trucks and other miscellaneous equipment. The transfer station is currently surrounded by vacant land. However, the approved Kiewit residential project abuts the west side of the property and the proposed Amazon warehouse abuts the east side. The proposed Arroyo Lago and East Lakes residential projects are to the north of the property across Busch Road. If all proposed projects are approved and developed, the transfer station will be surrounded on all sides by residential and warehouse uses. As noted, the current site is unable to accommodate all of its required vehicle and other storage, indicating that a larger site may be needed if PGS continues to operate the full range of services it offers today. Recommended Policy Questions Staff recommends that the EPPF project explore the following policy questions related to public service facilities: • What is the preferred future of the existing OSC and waste transfer facilities? • Should these existing facilities be relocated? If so, where? Infrastructure and Circulation Development in East Pleasanton will require new roads, bike/pedestrian facilities, water, sewer, storm drain, and other infrastructure improvements. Public infrastructure includes on- site improvements that principally serve project residents/employees, and off-site improvements that are needed to serve the development but which also serve or benefit other projects in the vicinity and the broader community. The City has begun an analysis of public infrastructure needed to serve the proposed development projects in East Pleasanton, and how to finance off-site infrastructure improvements. The City expects that new water and wastewater infrastructure would be funded entirely by new development, since its primary purpose would be to serve new water and sewer connections and flows. New roadway construction, particularly El Charro Road, would have some sharing of costs between the City and developers, since El Charro Road is needed to serve citywide growth in addition to traffic generated from new development in East Pleasanton. The City is working with East Pleasanton landowners to develop a mechanism to finance El Charro Road and other shared public infrastructure, including the potential use of a community facilities district (CFD). The Draft East Pleasanton Specific Plan (not adopted) included a chapter that described a conceptual financing plan for public infrastructure in East Pleasanton. This financing plan called for Plan area landowners to fund shared infrastructure improvements that benefit the Page 12 of 91
