The Livermore Planning Commission will consider rezoning approximately 27 acres in northwest Livermore from a business park to a residential transition zone as well as a development agreement for a housing project at Tuesday’s meeting.
Situated on Triad Drive, the site’s redesignation would permit 15 to 25 dwelling units per acre. Further, the development agreement would vest the land use and project concept plan of approximately 450 multifamily units for the Triad Place Development Project.
The developer — identified as 3055 Livermore Owner, LLC — intends to build a new neighborhood that includes interior streets, utilities, driveways, paseos, landscaping and a common park space.
Currently the site includes existing buildings at 3011, 3055 and 3077 Triad Drive that are mostly vacant as well as parking lot improvements. There is currently little to no demand for the space, according to a staff report prepared by associate planner for the city Kam Purewal.
The area under consideration is situated within the Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan, which regulates development in an approximately 1,140-acre area in the northwest part of the city. The proposed rezoning would therefore require approval of a Specific Plan Amendment.
The development agreement also includes the terms and timing of funding contributions to the Social Opportunity Endowment and Community Benefit Funds, a plan to meet the city’s inclusionary affordable housing requirements as well as the construction of off-site Class IV bike lane improvements along North Canyons Parkway.
The meeting is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 1. The full agenda is available here.
Also up for consideration are topics within the 2045 Comprehensive General Plan Update, a policy document being composed for the city’s growth, land use, sustainability, and resource and open space conservation.
Staff are set to present update options for the General Plan elements including land use, community identity and economic development.
Commissioners are then meant to provide recommendations on policy topics for consideration by the Livermore City Council.
The complete set of draft goals and policies will be published as part of the draft General Plan between late summer and early fall, which will kick off the next phase of community outreach and engagement.
