The Livermore City Council is scheduled to conduct five public hearings at Monday’s regular meeting, including ones on the General Plan 2045 update and multiple agreements regarding land redevelopment.
The proposed General Plan 2045 establishes the city’s vision, goals, land use designations and its actions for implementation. The document is poised for use as the basis for the next 20 years of decision-making regarding growth, development and resource conservation.
Along with the General Plan, the public hearing is set to cover the related environmental impact report.
Following the public hearing, the council is poised to consider certifying the EIR and General Plan via separate resolutions as well as a resolution maintaining existing General Plan scenic corridor policies until new scenic resources standards are considered and adopted, according to a staff report prepared by Livermore principal planner Andy Ross.
The first development agreement set for public hearing Monday is for a proposed residential development at 3658 Las Colinas Road.
Owner Adventus has applied for the land-use change of about 50 acres of its 122-acre site for residential use.
Execution of the development agreement does not authorize a specific project, according to the staff report prepared by Livermore senior planner Shannon Pagan. The development agreement establishes the rules that a future development must abide by.
Under the proposed development agreement, the project would be able to feature 605 to 900 units at a density of eight to 30 units per acre along with associated improvements, the staff report states.
Land outside the development area would remain as open space, according to the staff report.
Also related to land use is a hearing to amend a development agreement with McGrath RentCorp, the owner of approximately 130 acres in the proposed Midtown Specific Plan Area.
McGrath operates a mobile, modular commercial-industrial business on the site.
Under the first amendment, McGrath would transfer an approximately 40-acre section on the north portion of its property to a high-value commercial user by Jan. 15, 2027, subject to approval by the Livermore city manager, according to a staff report prepared by Livermore economic development manager Jake Potter.
In exchange, the boundary of land covered by the development agreement would be extended to include a southern, McGrath-owned property.
The development agreement would also be extended by 30 years through 2059.
The General Plan and development agreements came before the Livermore Planning Commission at its July 7 meeting where each was recommended for council support.
The regular hybrid meeting is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. on Monday (July 27), following a closed session set at 6:40 p.m. The full agenda is available here.
