CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
August 20, 2024
City Manager
TITLE: APPROVE APPOINTMENT OF THE 2024 ADVISORY BOARD FOR THE
DOWNTOWN PLEASANTON BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT
SUMMARY
State law requires the City Council to annually appoint an advisory board to the Downtown Pleasanton Business Improvement District (BID) to prepare the annual budget and report for determining the annual assessments to be levied on the businesses within the BID. The budget, report and assessments are determined on a calendar year basis and the assessments are collected annually along with the City business license fees. The next collection period will be the 2025 calendar year.
The Pleasanton Downtown Association (PDA) is the administrator of the BID on behalf of the City. At its July 16, 2024, board meeting, the PDA Board of Directors discussed and is recommending to the City Council the PDA Executive Committee serve as this year’s Advisory Board.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve appointment of the 2024 advisory board for the Downtown Pleasanton Business Improvement District to be composed of the PDA Executive Committee as follows:
President – Scott Larson, Restaurant Owner
President Elect – Angel Moore, Associate Member
Treasurer – Cathy Denham, Retail Owner
Secretary – Jesse Takens, Retail Owner
Past President – Randy Brown, Associate Member
BACKGROUND
Chapter 3, Section 36530 of the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989 requires the City Council to appoint an advisory board to prepare the annual budget with a report describing the downtown improvement district's initiatives and activities and the related funding sources. The City is currently working with Civitas Advisors to complete a report and feasibility study for future revisions to the assessment methodology, particularly exploring a property-based business improvement district. Anticipated by the end of 2024, this report will provide the status of the feasibility study and outline any initial recommended changes to the assessment methodology. In the interim, the current assessment methodology and process will remain in place for 2025.
DISCUSSION
The City Council’s appointment of the Advisory Board is the first step in a three-step process for establishing and levying the annual assessments in the Downtown Pleasanton Business Improvement District (BID). The Pleasanton Downtown Association (PDA) is the administrator
of the BID on behalf of the City. The members of the PDA Executive Committee are the proposed Advisory Board:
President – Scott Larson, Restaurant Owner
President Elect – Angel Moore, Associate Member
Treasurer – Cathy Denham, Retail Owner
Secretary – Jesse Takens, Retail Owner
Past President – Randy Brown, Associate Member
The second step is the submittal of an annual report and budget, and adoption of a resolution of intention to set a time for a public hearing on the levy of the proposed assessment for calendar year 2025. The final step of the process is to hold a public hearing and approve the final report and adoption of a resolution levying the Downtown Pleasanton Business Improvement District assessment for 2025.
The following is the proposed schedule of steps:
8/20/2024 Ratification and Appointment of 2024 Advisory Board 10/15/2024 Acceptance of the 2024 Annual Report and 2025 Budget and Adoption of Resolution of Intent to Levy Assessment for 2025 and Set Public Hearing for 11/19/2024
11/19/2024 Hold Public Hearing and Adoption of Resolution Levying the Pleasanton Downtown Business Improvement District Assessment for 2025
EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
No outreach was conducted, as this item is a routine matter of City business.
OUTREACH
No outreach was conducted, as this item is a routine matter of City business.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this action advances the Citywide strategic goal of Building a Community Where Everyone Belongs by ensuring the vibrancy of Pleasanton’s downtown as prioritized in the City's Economic Development Strategic Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT
The current agreement between the Downtown Pleasanton Business Improvement District and the City requires the City to match the annual assessments paid by businesses in the BID. In 2024, the City match from the General Fund is estimated to be approximately $80,000. While staff anticipates the 2025 annual assessments will similarly be around $80,000, the full amount of the City's matching funds will be considered based on future financial constraints. The current agreement expires on December 31, 2024; an updated agreement will be presented for the City Council's consideration in early 2025 in alignment with the feasibility study results.
In addition to the direct City contribution, the City provides a significant amount in indirect funding which includes staff time to administer the PDA assessments and contract, assistance and support for events, as well as the cost to facilitate street closures, maintain downtown planters, cleaning sidewalks, and garbage pickup.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

City Manager
TITLE: CONTINUED FROM JULY 16, 2024 - ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE
WASTE AND RECYCLING MANAGER POSITION AND APPROVE BUDGET
AMENDMENTS IN THE PLEASANTON GARBAGE SERVICES RESERVE FUND
SUMMARY
The City Council recently approved a cost-based rate adjustment for solid waste, recyclable materials, and organic materials collection for Fiscal Year 2024/25. The approved resolution allocated a portion of the revenue generated by the rate adjustment to support a new Waste and Recycling Manager position to oversee the City’s waste and recycling team and the Garbage Franchise Agreement, as well as other waste and recycling related programs and projects. This resolution enacts the City Council’s direction by amending the FY 2024/25 operating budget to add the Waste and Recycling Manager position. This position is entirely funded by garbage rates and will therefore have no impact to the General Fund. As part of the restructuring of the Public Works Department to increase operational efficiency, the Waste and Recycling program, including this position, and other positions supporting the City's waste and recycling efforts, will be transitioned to the Public Works Department later this fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution approving the Waste and Recycling Manager position and approve budget amendments in the Pleasanton Garbage Services Reserve Fund.
BACKGROUND
At its meeting on May 21, 2024, the City Council approved a cost-based rate adjustment for solid waste, recyclable materials, and organic materials collection for Fiscal Year 2024/25. The resolution approved by the City Council included the introduction of $500,000 for City staff costs to facilitate compliance with SB 1383, which requires cities and waste facilities to implement, measure, and report organic waste activity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by diverting organic waste from landfills. Staffing identified to be funded included an existing Management Analyst and an existing Recycling Coordinator, as well as a new Waste and Recycling Manager position that had not yet been created. At the time of the approval, the staff report stated that once all position-related details had been finalized, staff would bring a recommendation to add the new Waste and Recycling Manager position, which will be 100 percent funded with non-General Fund dollars.
DISCUSSION
Adding three to five full-time staff to support the City’s waste and recycling program was outlined in the SB 1383 Action Plan adopted by the City Council on July 20, 2021. Currently, the City has 2.30 Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) staff allocated to waste and recycling. This includes a portion of the Assistant to the City Manager position, a full-time Management Analyst and a Recycling Coordinator. With the City's waste and recycling program expanding to comply with new SB 1383 requirements, some of the revenue generated by the proposed
cost-based adjustment to garbage rates is being allocated to support the new Waste and Recycling Manager position that will oversee the City’s waste and recycling team and the Franchise Agreement, as well as other waste and recycling related programs and projects.
Adequate staffing of the City's waste and recycling program is essential to assure compliance with state laws, including SB 1383. The penalty for non-compliance with SB1383 could result in fines that range from $500-$10,000 per day. If CalRecycle (the State Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery) finds a jurisdiction in violation of the regulations, pursuant to Title 14, CCR, Article 16 section 18997.3, CalRecycle shall impose penalties administratively as follows:
Minor violation $500 to $4,000 per violation per day
Moderate violation $4,000 to $7,500 per violation per day Major violation $7,500 to $10,000 per violation per day
As part of the restructuring of the Public Works Department to increase operational efficiency, the Waste and Recycling program, including this position, and other positions supporting the City's waste and recycling efforts, will be transitioned to the Public Works Department later this fiscal year.
EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
As a full-service municipality, the City provides a wide range of services and programs to meet the needs of all members of the community. Waste and recycling rates take into account both equity and sustainability considerations to ensure fair access to services and promote environmentally responsible waste management practices. The cost of waste disposal is vital to ensuring that the services the City provides are available in a healthy and safe manner to all members of the Pleasanton community.
OUTREACH
On March 18, 2024, a publicly noticed City Council Waste and Recycling subcommittee meeting was held. The addition of the Waste and Recycling Manager position was discussed at a public City Council meeting on May 21, 2024.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This action advances the ONE Pleasanton strategic plan goal of Investing In Our Environment to continue to implement priority items from the Climate Action Plan 2.0 (CAP) to lead by example in environmental sustainability.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Waste and Recycling Manager position has an estimated fully-burdened annual cost of $266,100. As mentioned previously, this position will be funded entirely from the Pleasanton Garbage Service Reserve Fund (Fund 171) based on the approved cost-based rate adjustment for solid waste, recyclable materials, and organic materials collection for fiscal year 2024/25. As such, there is no financial impact to the General Fund.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
August 20, 2024
City Manager
TITLE: APPROVE TRANSFER OWNERSHIP OF THE AMADOR THEATER TO THE
PLEASANTON UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
SUMMARY
The City has owned the Amador Theater, located on the Amador Valley High School campus, since 1988. During this time, the City has provided the Pleasanton Unified School District (the District) with free access to the facility to support school needs and also provided rental access to community groups. The theater is in need of major renovations, and PUSD recently passed a bond measure to fund the work. The District intends to expand the use of the theater, and the City intends to focus its resources and efforts on the Firehouse Arts Center. Therefore, staff recommends transferring ownership of the theater to the District, per the terms of the 1988 agreement.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve transfer ownership of the Amador Theater to the Pleasanton Unified School District.
BACKGROUND
On January 19, 1988, the Pleasanton Unified School District (the District) and the City entered into an Agreement to Convey the Amador Theater to the City (the Agreement) as a benefit to the community (Attachment 1). Under the Agreement, the District retained a right to repurchase the Amador Theater (the Theater) for $100 "if the City should ever cease management and operation of a City theater on the property" or fifty years from the date of the agreement (2038), whichever comes first. The deed to the Amador Theater was granted to the City from the District on April 21, 1988 (Attachment 2 – Exhibit A).
Since that time, the District has received 60 days of rent-free use of the Theater each year and the City has programmed the remaining days through both in-house programs and rentals.
As part of the Agreement, the City was responsible for ongoing facility repair and maintenance, fire insurance, liability insurance, and custodial services. The District was responsible for maintaining the exterior grounds (hardscaped and landscaped areas); providing liability insurance to cover the theater, exterior grounds and parking; and reimbursing the City 50 percent of the annual cost for utilities including gas, electricity, sewer, water and trash.
Currently, the upper balcony is not used due to fire access issues, limiting the use of the theater. Additionally, a facility assessment, conducted in April of 2022, showed the need for extensive repairs and renovations of the theater (Attachment 3).
With the passing of the Measure I infrastructure bond, the District has shown interest in repurchasing the property for $100 prior to the end of the 50-year agreement in 2038, per the Agreement. The District intends to complete the renovations and expand the uses at the
Theater. This timing and interest aligns with the City's interest in streamlining its programming and focusing the City's resources and funding on the Firehouse Arts Center, a City-owned resource.
DISCUSSION
With Measure I funding, the District plans to build a modern theater facility that will allow the expansion of theater programs in the district and also support community rentals, benefiting the overall community.
In light of the City’s current financial situation, transferring ownership of the theater benefits the City by lowering facility maintenance, utility, janitorial, staffing, and equipment costs for this facility. This transfer also allows staff to focus on enlivening the Firehouse Arts Center, by focusing on just one performing arts venue.
EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
Transfer of the Amador Theater promotes the expansion and sustainability of community theater programming, which provides opportunities for local artists, patrons, and residents to participate in and enjoy the theater arts. Streamlining resources and focusing on enlivening the Firehouse Arts Center allows the City to continue to provide a broad array of cultural events and programs that benefit Pleasanton's diverse community.
OUTREACH
The District included the renovation of this theater in the materials for the Measure I bond, which were shared with the public.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This action advances the ONE Pleasanton Citywide Strategic Plan objective Funding Our Future, Strategy 1 - Develop a long-term strategy for funding operations and maintenance needs to ensure the reliability of community-owned facilities and infrastructure and continuity of City services.
FISCAL IMPACT
Per the 1988 agreement, the District has the right to purchase the theater for $100. While the full cost savings are not known at this time, staff estimate a savings of approximately $67,000 per year by no longer paying for the maintenance and utilities at this facility. Additionally, staff expects to save approximately $6,000 on temporary staff expenses annually by no longer staffing this theater.

Rehabilitation vs. Build Cost Analysis
Executive summary
The City of Pleasanton is exploring the feasibility of returning ownership of the Amador Theater to the Amador Valley School District. The primary intent is to determine the general cost of rehabilitation in comparison to a new facility with a similar program. Both scenarios would include solutions for the need for removing existing accessibility barriers and improvements to egress, such as a larger lobby that better matches the seating capacity.
Rehabilitation of the existing facility $17,403,319
New Construction with similar program: $21,067,500
Brief
Interactive Resources was tasked with providing a facility assessment and estimates to inform this goal. The planned task was to provide a facility condition assessment which would be based on existing drawings (if available) from the Division of State Architect (DSA) records.
A site visit was made on 11/16/21 with the interactive resources team: architect, structural engineer, and mechanical engineer. Interviews were conducted with city staff and the facility was inspected.
The second part was to involve the DSA in providing records for the building if possible and establish the type of regulatory compliance for the facility. It was hoped that improvements in record keeping and digital records would have possibly changed the likelihood of successfully showing hidden existing conditions and being able to establish an original DSA project number.
Our research seems to confirm that the DSA records for the theater were lost in a warehouse fire pre- 1988, and many further attempts by the DSA to locate other records for the building have been unsuccessful. We have exhausted all existing leads including neighboring building submissions and former architects involved in improvements. We are currently required to proceed with the building considered as “new” under CAC 4-307 and DSA IR EB-4 only refers to certified buildings. This also reinforces the current trend by the California DSA.
The extensive communications with the DSA and resulting determination that the building be treated as a new building application changed the nature of the investigation and structural compliance significantly. In response to this, the team was asked by the city to provide assessment information sufficient for a general square footage estimate for both scenarios.

City of Pleasanton Amador Theater programmatic Rehab vs. Build cost comparison 2018-024-02 The new estimation task has three major components:
1. Programmatic analysis with the provision of a general design solution including the two significant aspects of barrier removal including moving the green room(s), dressing spaces from the basement to the north side of the building along with new elevator for accessibility of the balcony level, and some other adjustments that provide a more even comparison of the existing rehab and a new facility cost. The schematic design for the cost basis is Exhibit 1
2. The other portion is to provide an assessment of the other largest component of rehabilitation which would be the destructive and non-destructive testing, and structural rehabilitation to ‘new’ condition under current code. The structural analysis and testing regime cost is follows
3. An order of magnitude cost estimate based on existing construction in the local area for theaters of similar type, finish and size for school districts and community use. The cost estimate is Exhibit 2 Programmatic analysis is based on interviews and current code review in order to adjust the required spaces for both a rehabilitation and new facility. The new facility would probably have close to the same space usage, but not necessarily have the exact same square footage. However, in order to provide a reasonable comparison, the same square foot allocation is assigned for the new construction cost estimate.
Projected Program used for Estimate
The program is modified to address multiple deficiencies found and the salient changes to square footage can be found in Exhibit 1, and include but are not limited to the following:
1. Existing dressing, green rooms, restrooms, and storage are located beneath the stage and solutions for making these spaces barrier free are generally calculated to be more expensive than providing new spaces to the north of the building where parking is located. Loading into the scene shop would be angled so as to provide easy access for large vehicles. The space below the stage would then be used for storage.
2. Expand the lobby so as to provide space that more closely matches the capacity of the theater.
3. Move and slightly expand both the ticket office and the concessions at the lobby.
4. Improve circulation and provide an elevator without disrupting the appearance and roof symmetry from the street.
5. There would be potential for solutions that provide barrier free access to the existing location of the control room would possibly add some square footage, but this would be resolved in schematic design.
City of Pleasanton — Amador Theater Structural Assessment Objectives of the Structural Assessment:
The purpose of this assessment is to visually observe the existing framing and determine what next steps need to be taken to allow the structure to be reviewed and approved by DSA. A site visit was made on December 1, 2021, to observe the conditions of the existing framing.
Extensive searches have been made in an attempt to determine the original DSA Application Number for the facility prior to the 1988 Addition at which time it was removed from the DSA rolls. No documentation

City of Pleasanton Amador Theater programmatic Rehab vs. Build cost comparison 2018-024-02 of the original construction has been found, which means that the original building will need to be treated as a new structure and made to comply with the current applicable Title 24, California Building Code.
Existing Conditions:
The current Theater is a single-story structure with a balcony located along the East wall of the building.
Two additions were made to the building in 1988 – a new lobby structure to the East of the original Theater and a new Scene Shop located to the North of the original Theater and East of the Girl’s Gymnasium structure.
The original Theater was built in 1932 with concrete perimeter walls and a wood framed roof supported by riveted steel trusses. The roof trusses sit atop concrete pilasters build integral with the North and South exterior walls. It is unknown if there are steel columns embedded within the concrete pilasters. There is a small dressing room located beneath the stage area of the theater. The balcony along the East wall is of wood framed construction. It clear spans the width of the theater with no columns visible between the perimeter walls. It is assumed that there is most likely some form of steel truss work within the balcony cavity, but the full extent of this framing is unknown at this time. The main floor of the theater appears to be a concrete slab on grade. Resistance to lateral loads is provided by the roof diagonal sheathing and the perimeter concrete shear walls. The foundations for the original, 1932 construction are unknown; however, based on drawings for the 1988 Additions, they appear to be conventional spread footings beneath columns and continuous, strip footings below bearing walls. No dimensions for these footings are available.
In 1988 a new Lobby Addition was immediately to the East of the original building entrance. The structure is a single-story wood frame with a pair of stairs leading up to an entrance to the balcony through the original theater wall. There is a steel moment frame within the wall adjacent to the original building. The roof is wood framing supported by perimeter bearing walls and interior steel columns. Resistance to lateral loads is provided by a plywood diaphragm and plywood shear walls. Foundations for the lobby and concrete floor are provided by concrete beams and drilled concrete piers. Not geotechnical information used of the lobby addition is available.
In addition to the Lobby, a new Scene Shop was built in the NW corner of the lot adjacent to the stage. The roof framing is wood framing supported by perimeter wood framed walls and interior steel columns.
Resistance to lateral loads is provided by a plywood diaphragm and plywood shear walls. Foundation support is provided by drilled piers on the South and West sides of the building, offset, but parallel to the adjacent buildings. On the North and East walls, conventional, continuous footings are used. Along the North wall of the Scene Shop, a wood frame mezzanine exists. It has been reported that drawings for the mezzanine exist; however, these were not available at the time of this report. At the time of construction of the Scene Shop, two new openings were sawcut through the existing theater stage wall to allow access between the two spaces. One was a man-door and the other was an 8 foot by 16 foot roll up door.
Structural Assessment:
Generally, the Theater, Lobby, and Scene Shop all appear to be in good condition based on visual observations made on December 1, 2021; however, due to the lack of any “as-built” drawings, DSA has indicated that in order to return the building to the District Records as an approved facility the building will require a complete structural evaluation treating it as new construction and conforming to the current CBC requirement. This means that in order to prepare detailed calculations, numerous structural tests will be required in order to validate the existing construction for each building and permit the preparation of structural calculations to determine the full extent of any upgrades necessary.
4 | Page
City of Pleasanton Amador Theater programmatic Rehab vs. Build cost comparison 2018-024-02 As noted above the construction of the original building pre-dates the 1933 Field Act. While the building appears to have performed well since it was constructed, it is anticipated that it will require significant structural modifications to make it comply with current building code requirements. For example, ties within the pilasters may not conform to current standards requiring seismic hooks and the spacing may be more than allowed by current code. Due to the seating capacity of the theater, 600±, the code would require the structure to comply with the requirements of a Risk Category III building (CBC Table 1604A.5).
Recommendations for the evaluation of existing building is provided by DSA Interpretive Regulation (IR) EB- 3, “Evaluation and Design Criteria Report” (EDCR). The current edition of this IR was issued on May 4, 2021 and is subject to renewal on an annual basis. This document further defines items that must be completed as part of the preparation of a compete EDCR before structural calculations and a structural retrofit can begin. The following items are identified:
• Material Testing Program – this program shall be developed to identify the nature of the materials used in the existing construction. There are specific requirements to be met where full plans are available of the existing construction, or partial or no plans are available. Specific criteria are specified within ASCE 41, which is specified by the IR.
• Condition Assessment – a detailed condition asses sment is required, which may require destructive investigations to the existing structure in order to fully assess the condition of all structural elements within the structure. This level of assessment is beyond the limited visual observations used for this structural assessment.
• Geotechnical and Site Hazards – as part of the ED CR submittal, a site specific Geohazards Report is required.
ASCE 41 specifies minimum data collection requirements within Chapter 6, which are further refined in Chapters 9 through 12 of the document as follows:
• Chapter 9 – Structural Steel: where original cons truction documents are inconclusive or do not exist that define the materials that were used, but the date of construction is known, a minimum of 3 strength coupons and 3 bolt and rivets shall be randomly removed from each component type for testing. For the theater proper, drawings do not exist, so this section would apply to the evaluation of the steel, riveted roof trusses and any steel elements in the balcony framing. Structural drawings for the Lobby and Scene Shop are available, so not steel tests are anticipated for these two structures. For the theater, it is anticipated that a total of 6 steel coupons and 6 rivets will require testing, 3 each from the roof framing and 3 each from the balcony framing.
• Chapter 10 – Concrete: for concrete elements wher e the design strength is not known, a minimum of six core tests per every 400 cy of concrete or 10,000 sf of surface area, whichever requires more shall be made. If tests indicate that more than one class of concrete was used in the construction, additional tests will be required. Due to the age of the theater, it is anticipated at this time that one class of concrete was most likely used. The volume of concrete for the theater is estimated at 357 cy resulting in a minimum of 6 cores required for testing and the square footage of the concrete walls is estimated at 11,000 sf resulting in 12 cores required based on the surface area. The minimum number of core samples to be taken is, therefore, controlled by the surface area of the concrete and is 12 samples. The superstructure of the lobby and scene shop buildings is wood frame construction. The available drawings do indicate the concrete strength that was used, so additional concrete tests for these structures are not anticipated. In addition to the core samples, samples of the existing wall and column reinforcing will need to be taken so that the grade of the reinforcing can be determined and the type of reinforcing use (square, twisted, deformed, other) can be confirmed. In addition to these
5 | Page
City of Pleasanton Amador Theater programmatic Rehab vs. Build cost comparison 2018-024-02 tests, there are two items that may require additional tests that will need to be verified with DSA in the development of a final EDCR. These two items are: requirements for testing and inspection for the existing theater foundations, and what tests and inspections are required for the Lobby and Scene Shop additions given that “as-built” drawings are available. • Chapter 11 – Masonry: no masonry construction was evident on site. No masonry tests are required.
• Chapter 12 – Wood: where original construction do cuments are unavailable, but the date of construction is known and a single material is confirmed, a minimum of 3 samples shall be randomly taken of the existing wood framing for testing at the roof and balcony levels. There is an option for visually observing grade stamps; however, due to the age of the structure, grade stamps are not anticipated to have been used at the time construction was performed. Where tests indicate that more than one material is present, additional tests will be required. In addition to testing for the wood, at least 3 connectors shall be documented for each level (roof and balcony). “As-built” drawings for the Lobby and Scene Shop indicate the grade and mechanical properties of the existing framing. In this case, ASCE 41 requires that at least one location in each story (balcony landing and roof of the Lobby, and mezzanine and roof of the Scene Shop) be randomly verified by observing grade marks or by compliance with wood grading rules.
Please note, the EDCR is required to be prepared and submitted to DSA for review and approval prior to the start of any testing.
As part of performing an overall structural evaluation, a detailed site survey needs to be made to document the “as-built” conditions of the existing Theater and confirm the “as-built” conditions of the Lobby and Scene Shop additions. The thickness of the various concrete elements will need to be determine along with the size and spacing of all reinforcing – wall vertical and horizontal reinforcing, column vertical reinforcing and tie size and spacing. Lap lengths and splices in reinforcing will also need to be determined.
Detailed drawings for the mezzanine framing and those for the roof framing, including the roof truss members, all truss connections, and all connections to the perimeter columns shall be determined as part of the overall structural evaluation of the assembly.
In conjunction with architectural requirements, the seismic evaluation of the structure shall account for changes to openings as required by the Building Code.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Ordinance No. 2284
`
SECTION 1. At its meeting on July 16, 2024, the City Council determined the Project is exempt pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section 15183 as documented in a Section 15183 Checklist for the Project.
SECTION 2. Prior to taking action on the Project, and at a properly noticed public meeting, the City Council reviewed written and oral staff reports, conducted a public hearing on the Project and took testimony, and received into the record all pertinent documents related to the Project (collectively, the “Record Evidence”). The City Council’s determination is based on the Record Evidence, which is incorporated into this Ordinance by reference.
SECTION 3. Findings for approval of PUD Development Plan (PUD-147) With respect to Case No. PUD-147, the City Council makes the following findings and determinations with respect to each of the considerations for a PUD Development Plan as required by Section 18.68.110 of the PMC:
1. Whether the plan is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general welfare:
The Project, as conditioned, meets all applicable City standards concerning public health, safety, and welfare. The Project would include the installation of all required on- site utilities with connections to municipal systems to serve the new development. With the recommended traffic improvements/mitigations, the Project will not generate volumes of traffic that cannot be accommodated by existing City streets and intersections in the area. The structures would be designed to meet the requirements of the Uniform Building Code, Fire Code, and other applicable City codes. Adequate access would be provided to the structures for police, fire, and other emergency response vehicles. Stormwater run- off from the site will be treated before leaving the site. Construc tion hour limits and dust suppression requirements would minimize construction impacts on the surrounding residents and tenants. The Project is compatible with the adjacent uses and would be consistent with the existing scale and character of the area. Therefore, it is recommended the proposed PUD development plan is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general welfare, and this finding can be made.
2. Whether the plan is consistent with the City's General Plan and any applicable specific plan:
The Property’s Land Use Designation of Low Density Residential (LDR) and Housing Element Sites Overlay (HESO) permits residential uses; thus, the Project would be consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation. The proposed density of two dwelling units per approximate acre, plus 20 percent density bonus as allowed under State Density Bonus Law, is consistent with the General Plan. The Project would further several General Plan Programs and Policies including: encouraging the reuse of vacant and underutilized parcels by development on an underutilized former orchard within the existing urban area; encourage the use of density bonuses in residential projects that include housing units affordable to extremely low-, very low‑, low‑, and moderate-income households and support development and maintenance of affordable senior housing and supportive services to facilitate maximum independence and the ability of seniors to remain in their homes and/or the community. The project would also be In conformance with the Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance, which requires each residential and non‑residential development to which the Ordinance applies, to include its pro‑rata share of housing needs for lower- and moderate- income households. City policies strongly encouraged that the Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance requirements be met by building
Ordinance No. 2284
housing affordable to lower- and moderate-income households, which would be accomplished by this project through the construction of on- site, deed-restricted senior housing units. The Project environmental review determined that the Project will present no new or more severe significant impacts, and no unstudied impacts that are peculiar to the parcel. Therefore, the City Council finds the proposed development plan is consistent with the City’s General Plan, and this finding can be made.
3. Whether the plan is compatible with previously developed properties in the vicinity and the natural, topographic features of the site:
The Project site is surrounded primarily by residential development. The proposed residential use would be compatible with these surrounding uses. The units’ heights would be compatible with the surrounding and existing single- family residences to the nort h and south. The residences have been In attractively designed and would be compatible with the design of the surrounding residential uses. New and dense landscaping would be installed along the Project perimeters and within the interior of the Project to soften the Project from off -site views and provide buffers between sidewalks and roadways, and the Project. Additionally, the Project preserves several existing mature trees including two large Heritage- sized trees located generally in the middle of the pr oposed project site. The proposed project site drops in elevation to the east from Foothill Road, with the elevation from the Foothill Road frontage to the entry gate falling by approximately 60 feet. In response, the grading plan has been designed to be s ympathetic to the natural terrain and includes stepping the building pads down the hill to minimize the use of large retaining walls and reduce the overall need for terracing slopes on the project site. Therefore, the City Council makes this finding.
4. Whether grading takes into account environmental characteristics and is designed in keeping with the best engineering practices to avoid erosion, slides, or flooding to have as minimal an effect upon the environment as possible.
As described above, the proposed project site drops in elevation towards the east from Foothill Road, with the elevation from the Foothill Road frontage to the entry gate falling by approximately 60 feet. Grading is proposed throughout the proposed project areas to create the predominantly flat pad lots, bio- retention areas, and streets. Due to some abrupt grade changes in the central portions of the proposed project site, approximately 12,400 cubic yards of earth is estimated for off -haul or export. Erosion control and dust suppression measures would be documented in the building and improvement plans and will be administered by the City’s Building and Engineering Divisions. City building code requirements would ensure that building foundations, on -site dri veways, and parking areas are constructed on properly prepared surfaces. The proposed development would provide adequate drainage to prevent flooding. Parking lot and roof drainage would drain into landscaped bioretention areas that would filter contaminants before entering the arroyos and, ultimately, the bay. The proposed project site is not located within an Alquist -Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. The flood hazard maps of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) indicate the Property is not located in a flood hazard zone. Therefore, the City Council makes this finding.
5. Whether streets and buildings have been designed and located to complement the natural terrain and landscape:
The Property is in a developed area of the City and would not involve the extension of any new public streets (all streets are private). The majority of the new development would be located on the more level areas of the proposed project site, and as descr ibed in Finding 3, the grading has been designed to integrate the necessary streets and building pads into the
Ordinance No. 2284
terrain and landscape of the site to the extent feasible. The proposed residences would be compatible in size and scale with surrounding structures and would include a variety of roof heights and varied massing to blend with the surroundings. New landscaping including large box-sized trees would be installed to mitigate the loss of the existing landscaping and trees.
Therefore, the City Council makes this finding.
6. Whether adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into the design of the plan:
The public improvements associated with the Project would be consistent with City design standards. The existing driveway entrance is located and configured to provide adequate line- of-sight viewing distance for vehicles and to facilitate efficient ingress/egress to and from the proposed project site. All internal streets and motor -courts would meet City standards for emergency vehicle access and turn -around. Adequate access would be provided to all structures for police, fire, and other emergency vehicles. The residences and clubhouse would be required to meet the requirements of the Uniform Building Code, Fire Code, other applicable City codes, and State of California energy and accessibility requirements. The residences and clubhouse would be equipped with automatic fire suppression systems (sprinklers). Therefore, the City Council makes this finding.
7. Whether the plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD District:
The proposed PUD development plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD district, and the City’s Housing Element. One of the purposes of the PUD district is to ensure the desires of the Applicant and the community are understood and approved prior to commenc ement of construction. The proposed project implements the purposes of the PUD Ordinance in this case by providing a residential project that is well -designed and well -integrated with the existing development in the vicinity, that fulfills the desires of the applicant, and that meets the City’s General Plan and Housing Element goals and policies. By taking advantage of the flexibility of the PUD district while complementing the minimum development standards of the surrounding residential neighborhoods, the applicant and staff have been able to work together to design the Project in a manner most appropriate for this use. Through the PUD process the Project has provided the Applicant and the City with a development plan that optimizes the use of this infill site in a sensitive manner. Therefore, the City Council makes this finding.
SECTION 4. Findings Pursuant to Government Code Section 65863 (No Net Loss) The proposed project would include 93 above- moderate income residential units and 18 moderate-income residential units; in comparison, the inventory of sites included in the 6th Cycle Housing Element projected this Property (listed as Area 22 in Table B-14) would provide up to 93 above-moderate income residential units. The Project would provide 18 moderate-income residential units, which is 18 more moderate-income units than projected in the inventory. There would be no net loss of units resulting from approval of this project.
SECTION 5. The City Council has considered the findings made in Planning Commission Resolution No. PC-2024-14, attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A, and hereby adopts the same findings by this reference, and based upon the City Council’s own independent review and considerations, the City Council hereby approves Planned Unit Development Plan (PUD-147), as reflected in the plans dated, “Received June 15, 2024,” for the Foothill Boulevard Holding Company, LLC , subject to the Conditions of Approval in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated into this ordinance by reference.

41. MITIGATION MEASURES/IMPLEMENTATION MEASURES: As indicated in the project’s Section 15183 Checklist, several mitigation measures identified in the Housing Element Update FEIR are applicable to the proposed project:
• MM AIR-1a
• MM AIR-1b
• MM BIO-1
• MM GEO-6
• MM HAZ-2
• MM NOI-1
• MM TRANS 2
The following measures from the Housing Element Update FEIR shall be implemented:
• MM AIR-1a: Prior to the issuance of a grading or building permit, whichever is sooner, the project applicant for a potential site for rezoning shall submit an air quality construction plan detailing the proposed air quality construction measures related to the project such as construction phasing, construction equipment, and dust control measures, and such plan shall be approved by the Director of Community Development. Air quality construction measures shall include Basic Construction Mitigation Measures, as approved by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) in 2017, and, where construction-related emissions would exceed the applicable thresholds, Additional Construction
Ordinance No. 2284
Mitigation Measures, as recommended by the BAAQMD, shall be implemented to reduce emissions to acceptable levels. The air quality construction plan shall be included on all grading, utility, building, landscaping, and improvement plans during all phases of construction and for access roads, parking areas, and staging areas at construction sites.
• MM AIR-1b. The following measures pertain to project sites where residences would be located within distances where the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) or the California Air Resources Board (ARB) recommends not siting residential uses due to exposures to toxic air contaminants (TACs). For example, the current 2005 ARB Land Use Book recommends that agencies avoid siting new sensitive land uses within 500 feet of a freeway, urban roads with 100,000 vehicles/day, or rural roads with 50,000 vehicles/day.
Indoor Air Quality: In accordance with the recommendations of the BAAQMD, appropriate measures (refer to Section 5 of the BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines) shall be incorporated into building design in order to reduce the potential health risk due to exposure of sensitive receptors to TACs, including, but not limited to:
(a) Locate sensitive receptors as far as possible within each project site from any freeways, major roadways or other non-permitted TAC sources (e.g., loading docks, parking lots). [The project Vesting Tentative Map and project PUD comply with and implement this requirement.]
(b) Incorporate tiered plantings of trees (such as redwood, deodar cedar, live oak, and/or oleander) to the maximum extent feasible between the sources of pollution and sensitive receptors. [The project Landscaping Plans in the PUD Development Plan comply with and implement this requirement.]
(c) Install, operate and maintain in good working order a central heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system or other air take system in the building, or in each residential unit, that meets or exceeds an efficiency standard of Minimum Efficiency Reporting Values (MERV) 13, including the following features: installation of high-efficiency filter and/or carbon filter to filter particulates and other chemical matter from the building (either high- efficiency particulate air [HEPA] filters or ASHRAE 85 percent supply filters).
(d) Retain a qualified HVAC consultant or Home Energy Rating System (HERS) rater during the design phase of the project to locate air ventilation and the HVAC system intakes based on exposure modeling from pollutant sources; install indoor air quality monitoring in buildings.
(e) Applicants shall ensure that HVAC systems and air ventilation systems are maintained, repaired, or replaced on an ongoing and as-needed basis. If the project includes for-sale units, then the applicant shall prepare two operation and maintenance manuals for the HVAC systems and the filters: one manual shall be included in the recorded Conditions Covenants and Restrictions (CC&Rs) that shall be recorded, and the manual shall be distributed to building maintenance staff; the other manual shall be written for homeowners’ with operating instructions and maintenance and replacement schedule for the HVAC system and filters, and that manual shall be distributed to owners.
Project Specific Condition.
Ordinance No. 2284
• MM GEO-6: A professional paleontologist, approved by the City of Pleasanton, shall conduct a site-specific paleontological resources survey on the potential sites for rezoning
If any of the potential sites for rezoning are found to be underlain by older Quaternary deposits, or any other soil with the potential to contain vertebrate fossils due to their high paleontological sensitivity for significant resources, applicants, owners and/or sponsors of all future development or construction projects shall be required to perform or provide paleontological monitoring, if recommended by the qualified paleontologist. Should significant paleontological resources (e.g., bones, teeth, well-preserved plant elements) be unearthed by a future project construction crew, project activities shall be diverted at least 15 feet from the discovered paleontological resources until a professional paleontologist has assessed such discovered resources and, if deemed significant, such resources shall be salvaged in a timely manner. The applicant/owner/sponsor of said project shall be responsible for diverting project work and providing the assessment including retaining a professional paleontologist for such purpose.
Collected fossils shall be deposited by the applicant/owner/sponsor in an appropriate repository (e.g., University of California Museum of Paleontology (UCMP), California Academy of Sciences) where the collection shall be properly curated and made available for future research.
In addition, in accordance with the FEIR Mitigation Measures, additional site-specific technical studies were completed, the results of which are documented in the Section 15183 Checklist. The project shall implement the following project-specific requirements, pursuant to the respective FEIR Mitigation Measures listed, and in accordance with the technical studies. For the remaining Mitigation Measures listed above, the technical studies and Section 15183 Checklist conclude that no further study or project-specific implementation is needed:
A. Project-Specific Implementation Measures for Compliance with MM Bio-1:
• General Avoidance and Minimization Measures Included in the East Alameda County Conservation Strategy (EACCS) – The EACCS contains the following general avoidance and minimization measures to reduce the effects on focal species. These measures are taken from Table 3-2: of the EACCS (ICF 2010). o Employees and contractors performing construction activities will receive environmental sensitivity training. Training will include review of environmental laws and Avoidance and Minimization Measures (AMMs) that must be followed by all personnel to reduce or avoid effects on covered species during construction activities.
o Environmental tailboard trainings will take place on an as‑needed basis in the field. The environmental tailboard trainings will include a brief review of the biology of the covered species and guidelines that must be followed by all personnel to reduce or avoid negative effects to these species during construction activities. Directors, Managers, Superintendents, and the crew foremen and forewomen will be responsible for ensuring that crewmembers comply with the guidelines.
o Contracts with contractors, construction management firms, and subcontractors will obligate all contractors to comply with these requirements, and AMMs.
o The following will not be allowed at or near work sites for covered activities:
trash dumping, firearms, open fires (such as barbecues) not required by the
Ordinance No. 2284
activity, hunting, and pets (except for safety in remote locations). o Vehicles and equipment will be parked on pavement, existing roads, and previously disturbed areas to the extent practicable.
o Off-road vehicle travel will be minimized.
o Vehicles will not exceed a speed limit of 15 mph on unpaved roads within natural land‑cover types, or during off‑road travel.
o Vehicles or equipment will not be refueled within 100 feet of a wetland, stream, or other waterway unless a bermed and lined refueling area is constructed. o Vehicles shall be washed only at approved areas. No washing of vehicles shall occur at job sites.
o To discourage the introduction and establishment of invasive plant species, seed mixtures/straw used within natural vegetation will be either rice straw or weed‑free straw.
o Pipes, culverts and similar materials greater than four inches in diameter, will be stored so as to prevent covered wildlife species from using these as temporary refuges, and these materials will be inspected each morning for the presence of animals prior to being moved.
o Erosion control measures will be implemented to reduce sedimentation in wetland habitat occupied by covered animal and plant species when activities are the source of potential erosion problems. Plastic mono‑filament netting (erosion control matting) or similar material containing netting shall not be used at the project. Acceptable substitutes include coconut coir matting or tackified hydroseeding compounds.
o Stockpiling of material will occur such that direct effects to covered species are avoided. Stockpiling of material in riparian areas will occur outside of the top of bank, and preferably outside of the outer riparian dripline and will not exceed 30 days.
o Grading will be restricted to the minimum area necessary. o Prior to ground disturbing activities in sensitive habitats, project construction boundaries and access areas will be flagged and temporarily fenced during construction to reduce the potential for vehicles and equipment to stray into adjacent habitats.
o Significant earth moving‑activities will not be conducted in riparian areas within 24 hours of predicted storms or after major storms (defined as 1‑inch of rain or more).
o Trenches will be backfilled as soon as possible. Open trenches will be searched each day prior to construction to ensure no covered species are trapped. Earthen escape ramps will be installed at intervals prescribed by a qualified biologist.
• Species Specific Avoidance and Minimization Measures – The EACCS also includes species-specific AMMs. The species-specific AMMs for burrowing owls are described below. These measures are taken from Table 3-3 of the EACCS (ICF 2010).
BIRD-2: Burrowing Owl
o If an active nest is identified near a proposed work area work will be conducted outside of the nesting season (March 15 to September 1). o If an active nest is identified near a proposed work area and work cannot be conducted outside of the nesting season, a no‑activity zone will be established by a qualified biologist. The no‑activity zone will be large enough to avoid nest abandonment and will at a minimum be 250‑feet radius from the nest. This buffer is based on the recommended guidelines described in the “Staff Report
Ordinance No. 2284
on Burrowing Owl Mitigation” by the CDFW (2012).
o If burrowing owls are present at the site during the non‑breeding period, a qualified biologist will establish a no‑activity zone of at least 150 feet. o If an effective no‑activity zone cannot be established in either case, an experienced burrowing owl biologist will develop a site‑specific plan (i.e., a plan that considers the type and extent of the proposed activity, the duration and timing of the activity, the sensitivity and habituation of theowls, and the dissimilarity of the proposed activity with background activities) to minimize the potential to affect the reproductive success of the owls.
• U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Authorization – If any impacts are to occur to Corps jurisdictional wetlands or waters, then a Section 404 Nationwide or Individual permit will be required.
• State Authorization – If any impacts are to occur to wetlands or waters subject to CDFW or RWQCB jurisdiction (Waters of the State), then a Section 401 permit will be required, and a Streambed Alteration Agreement may be required.
• On-Site Wetland/Waters Mitigation – If work proposed on the Property includes impacts to Corps or State jurisdictional features, then on-site mitigation will be implemented. The proposed Project currently includes the design of on-site mitigation to be provided at a 2:1 ratio. The mitigation features will be constructed in portions of the Property currently identified as upland areas. This on-site mitigation would reduce project impacts to jurisdictional features to “less than significant”.
• Rare Plant Survey – While special-status plants are not likely to occur on the Property, a rare plant survey of the Property in accordance with CDFW and CNPS guidelines should be within one year of the start of construction to ensure that impacts to special-status plants are less than significant. The survey should be scheduled to coincide with the identified blooming or identification periods for those species having potential to occur (April through June). Any rare, threatened, or endangered plant species that are observed should be identified and mapped. If any of these species are found, consultation with the USFWS and/or CDFW may be required regarding appropriate mitigation. Mitigation will likely include avoidance of the population or collection and redistribution of seeds.
• Pre-Construction Avian Survey – If Project construction-related activities take place during the nesting season (February through August), preconstruction surveys for all nesting birds (including waterfowl, passerines, raptors, and other birds) within and adjacent to (within 1,000 feet) the Property should be conducted by a competent biologist 14 days prior to the commencement of the tree removal or site grading activities. Surveys should focus on areas where birds are likely to nest, including trees, shrubs, grasslands, rock faces, stream banks, or under eves of structures. If any bird listed under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act is found to be nesting within the project site or within the area of influence, an adequate protective buffer zone should be established by a qualified biologist to protect the nesting site. This buffer shall be a minimum of 75 feet from the project activities for small passerine birds, and a minimum of 250 feet for raptors. The distance shall be determined by a competent biologist based on the site conditions (topography, if the nest is in a line of sight of the construction and the sensitivity of the birds nesting). The nest site(s) shall be monitored by a competent biologist periodically
Ordinance No. 2284
to see if the birds are stressed by the construction activities and if the protective buffer needs to be increased. Once the young have fledged and are flying well enough to avoid project construction zones (typically by August), the project can proceed without further regard to the nest site(s). Active nests, including those in the process of being constructed shall not be disturbed. Surveys shall be repeated in areas where Project activities lapse for a period of 7 days or more.
• Burrowing Owl Surveys – A burrowing owl pre-construction survey should take place before any construction activities commence. Occupancy of burrowing owl habitat is confirmed at a site when at least one burrowing owl or its sign at or near a burrow entrance is observed within the last three years. If a burrowing owl or sign is present on the Property three additional protocol level surveys will be initiated. Once these surveys have been completed to identify the owl’s location, disturbance buffers should be placed around each active burrow. No disturbance should occur within 250 feet of occupied burrows during the breeding season (February 1 through August 31) and/or within 160 feet of occupied burrows during non-breeding season (September 1 through January 31). Pre-construction surveys shall be completed 14 days prior to initiating activities.
• Special-status Bats Surveys – For all Project activities planned in or adjacent to potential bat roosting habitat, such as structures and/or involving woody vegetation modification or removal of any and all trees, a qualified biologist shall conduct daytime and evening acoustic surveys in addition to extensive visual surveys of potential habitat for special-status bats at least 7 days prior to initiation of Project activities. If bats are found on-site, a qualified biologist shall identify the species, estimated quantity present, roost type, and roost status, but shall avoid disturbing bats during surveys. A qualified biologist shall also create a Bat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan if special-status bat species are detected prior to the start of Project activities. The Bat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan shall include: (1) an assessment of all Project impacts to special-status bats, including noise disturbance during construction; (2) effective avoidance and minimization measures to protect special-status bats; (3) and compensatory mitigation for permanent impacts to special-status bats or their nesting/roosting habitat. If structures, trees, or other refugia equivalents are slated for limbing, removal, or modification, the Bat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan shall include the following measures:
• To ensure that special-status bats have left potential roosting refugia, work shall occur over the course of two days. On the first day, smaller limbs or items from the identified trees or structures shall be brushed back or modified in the late afternoon. This disturbance should cause any potential roosting bats to seek other roosts during their nighttime foraging. The remainder of the refugia item can then be further limbed or removed as needed on the second day as late in the afternoon as feasible. If bats are found injured, or if bat mortality occurs during the course of tree work, a qualified biologist shall record the species impacted, and the number of individuals documented.
• Tree limbing, modification, removal, or work on structural refugia shall not be performed under any of the following conditions: during any precipitation events, when ambient temperatures are below 4.5 degrees Celsius, when windspeeds exceed 11 miles per hour, and/or any other condition which may lead to bats seeking refuge.
Ordinance No. 2284
• If special-status bats are found utilizing a tree, structure, or equivalent for roosting, the Bat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan shall include permanent artificial roosting habitat installations that shall be adjacent to, and sufficient for, the species observed and associated ecology thereof. Effective buffer zones for the installation and monitoring of the artificial roosts shall be determined and established by a qualified biologist.
• Erosion Control – Grading and excavation activities could expose soil to increased rates of erosion during construction periods. During construction, runoff from the Property could adversely affect aquatic life within the adjacent water features.
Surface water runoff could remove particles of fill or excavated soil from the site, or could erode soil down-gradient, if the flow were not controlled. Deposition of eroded material in adjacent water features could increase turbidity, thereby endangering aquatic life, and reducing wildlife habitat. Implementation of appropriate mitigation measures would ensure that impacts to aquatic organisms would be avoided or minimized. Mitigation measures may include best management practices (BMP’s) such as hay bales, silt fencing, placement of straw mulch and hydro seeding of exposed soils after construction as identified in the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
B. Project-Specific Implementation Measures for Compliance with MM NOI-1:
• To the maximum extent practical, the following measures should be incorporated into the project construction operations:
o Noise-generating construction activities shall not occur within the hours identified in Noise Ordinance Section 9.04.100.
o Locate stationary construction equipment as far from adjacent occupied buildings as possible.
o All noise-producing project equipment and vehicles using internal-combustion engines shall be equipped with manufacturers-recommended mufflers and be maintained in good working condition.
o All mobile or fixed noise-producing equipment used on the project site that are regulated for noise output by a federal, state, or local agency shall comply with such regulations while in the course of project activity. o All construction equipment must meet California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV0) noise standards and shall be equipped with muffling devices. o Electrically powered equipment shall be used instead of pneumatic or internal- combustion-powered equipment, where feasible.
o Material stockpiles and mobile equipment staging, parking, and maintenance areas shall be located as far as practicable from noise-sensitive receptors. o Select routes for movement of construction-related vehicles and equipment so that noise-sensitive areas, including residences, and outdoor recreation areas, are avoided as much as possible
o Project area and site access road speed limits shall be established and enforced during the construction period.
o Nearby residences shall be notified of construction schedules so that arrangements can be made, if desired, to limit their exposure to short-term increases in ambient noise levels.
o Designate a noise disturbance coordinator who will be responsible for responding to complaints about construction noise. The telephone number of the noise during disturbance coordinator shall be conspicuously posted at the construction site and shall be provided to the City of Pleasanton. Copies of the
Ordinance No. 2284
construction schedule
• The following measures should be incorporated into the building facade construction:
o For the seven (7) lots located nearest to Interstate 680, the north-, east-, and south-facing upper-floor building facades should maintain minimum window assembly STC ratings of 32. Figure 2 [in the Noise and Vibration Assessment prepared by Bollard Acoustical Consultants, Inc., dated “Received” on December 27, 2022], illustrates the facades requiring improved STC rated windows.
o Standard residential construction practices (wood or stucco siding, STC-27 windows, door weather-stripping, exterior wall insulation, composition plywood roof) would be adequate for the remainder of the development. o Mechanical ventilation (air conditioning) should be provided for all residences in this development to allow the occupants to close doors and windows as desired to achieve compliance with the applicable interior noise level criteria.

67. CLEAN WATER PROGRAM (HYDROMODIFICATION PROJECTS): Because the project creates and/or replaces more than 43,560 square feet (1.00 acre) of impervious surface, increases impervious surface over pre-project conditions, and is located in a susceptible area, it is considered a Hydromodification (HM) Project according to Provision C.3.g of the Municipal Regional Stormwater NPDES Permit. Said permit regulates stormwater runoff in Pleasanton. The Alameda Countywide Clean Water Program developed a C.3 Guidance Manual to assist applicants in addressing these regulations. The Guidance Manual is available for download at:
https://www.cleanwaterprogram.org/businesses/development.html
HM projects must include stormwater treatment measures in the site design to cause no increase in the erosion potential of the receiving stream over the pre-project (existing) condition. To demonstrate compliance, the City encourages use of the Bay Area Hydraulic Model (BAHM). The model software can be downloaded at no cost from Clear Creek Solutions. In addition, HM projects must be subject to a Stormwater Treatment Measure Maintenance Agreement between the City and property owner to assure long-term maintenance of the installed measures. The City will provide a template agreement. Once executed, the agreement must be recorded against the property. (Address this condition prior to subdivision improvement plan approval)
