P24-0532, 5555 W. Las Positas Boulevard . Planning Commission 7 of 14 ANALYSIS General Plan Land Use & Public Facilities and Community Programs Conformance The subject site is designated by the Land Use Element of the Pleasanton General Plan for Other Public and Institutional, which allows a variety of public and institutional uses. The proposed improvements would expand and enhance the existing healthcare facility, as contemplated and approved under PUD-86-11. As such, the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan land use designation. The proposed use would also be consistent with the General Plan Land Use and Public Facilities and Community Programs Policies and Programs listed below, as the proposed use would: (1) strengthen the site's role as a critical community resource by expanding medical facilities; and (2) improve public health services by increasing the community’s access to emergency care, inpatient services, and medical treatment as a whole.
