Pleasanton City Council, Planning Commission To Hold Joint Meeting On East Pleasanton Future

PLEASANTON, CA — The Pleasanton City Council and Pleasanton Planning Commission will hold a joint meeting Tuesday to discuss the future of East Pleasanton, an area around Shadow Cliffs that the city is considering annexing. The workshop-style meeting will be the public's first major chance to weigh in on how the project should proceed with the East Pleasanton Policy Framework, though no votes will be taken.

The process is aimed at developing high-level policies around land use, city boundaries, infrastructure, public services, and open space in East Pleasanton in a streamlined manner. Several projects in East Pleasanton are already underway, including a 300,000-square-foot light industrial campus, a proposed Amazon warehouse, and a total of 1,358 homes in various stages of approval, according to a city staff report.

The EPPF aims to create a broader General Plan for the area, and how these projects fit in. It does not evaluate each project individually, or propose alternate land use: rather, it aims to establish a high-level vision for the preferred future of the area.

Tuesday's workshop aims to address questions such as:

• Whether the city should consider adjustments to its urban growth boundaries in East Pleasanton
• If there are any areas outside the city limit that should be annexed
• If the city should establish a Specific Plan for East Pleasanton
• What are the preferred land use for specific areas
• What to do with the "Chain of Lakes" to be made from reclaimed quarry sites
• If an open space buffer should be maintained between Pleasanton and Livermore
• Recreational amenities in East Pleasanton

The meeting will take place Tuesday at 4 p.m. at the City Council Chamber at 200 Old Bernal Avenue. See here for more information, and here for more information about East Pleasanton.
