CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING AGENDA PACKET 9-1-26

Page 3 of 5 modifications to its land use designation in the Downtown Specific Plan from Public to High Density Residential. This site currently has two zoning designations, with the proposed land use changes affect the approximately 0.74-acre portion of the property currently zoned RM- 4,000. Property owners or their representatives for both sites have indicated a favorable or neutral position on the proposed rezoning of their property. Rezoning of both properties provides the opportunity for additional potential development should the owners propose to do so, while continuing to allow currently existing uses (i.e., the existing zoning district for each site would be incorporated into the rezoning such that its provisions of that district would remain in effect). As shown in the Attachment 1 a 0.66-acre portion of 1225 Hopyard, and a 0.74-acre portion of 4100 First Street would be re-zoned. Design Standards and Requirements By rezoning both properties to PUD, development and design standards will be established by the PUD development plan at the time of proposal. This provides deference to the individual characteristics of each site and range of units that cou;ld be proposed on the property (up to ten). Comparable Site Density At its June 24, 2026 meeting, the Planning Commission asked how the proposed additional density for each site would compare to other recently approved development projects. The table below provides examples of comparable projects in Pleasanton to the two proposed sites. As reflected in the table, at 13 to 15 units/acre, the density of the proposed sites is typical of townhome projects. Table A.
