P24-0532, 5555 W. Las Positas Boulevard . Planning Commission 13 of 14 Helipad The proposed project does not modify the helipad west of the Central Utility Plant. The proposed East Wing expansion will not interfere with the current flight patterns. The use of the helipad is conditioned per PUD-86-11, which limits its use to emergency situations and states that no regularly scheduled uses of the facility will be permitted. Climate Action Plan 2.0 (CAP 2.0) In 2022, the City adopted the Climate Action Plan 2.0 (CAP 2.0). Staff analyzed how the project is consistent with or implements the applicable measures outlined in the CAP 2.0. As a non-residential project located near Arroyo Mocho Trail and a bus line, the project is consistent with Transportation & Land Use Strategy 2 and 3 of the CAP 2.0: to reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) by incorporating parking spaces designated for carpool and car-share, and integrating accessible infrastructure that accommodates multiple modes of transportation. The project will include bicycle racks and storage areas along the new addition and provide EV charging parking spaces. ALTERNATIVES As outlined in the above analysis, staff believes the project, as proposed and conditioned, would be compatible with the other uses in the vicinity and not create adverse impacts, and recommends the Planning Commission approve the project. However, alternativ es to the proposal that the Planning Commission could consider include: 1. Deny the project; or 2. Approve the proposal with modifications to the site layout and building design. DESIGN REVIEW CRITERIA Pleasanton Municipal Code Section 18.20 sets forth Design Review Criteria. These criteria are outlined in the draft Resolution included as Exhibit A and include preservation of natural beauty, relationship of the proposed buildings with the streetscape and surroundings, and compatibility of architecture, among other criteria. As described in Exhibit A and based on the information and analysis provided in this Agenda Report, staff recommends that the Commission make the required findings to approve the project.
