TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Joni Pattillo, City Manager
SUBJEC : equest to initiate a Planned Development Rezone for the Sierra/Trinity Business
Park.
Prepared By Erica Fraser, Senior Planner
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
At the request of the City Council, Staff has been reviewing City regulations to determine if any
changes are necessary in order to provide assistance to businesses and property owners due
to the current economic climate. The Planned Development Zoning District for the Sierra/Trinity
Business Park is overly restrictive and therefore places a burden on the current property owner
by restricting the types of businesses that can locate on the site. In order to expand the
allowable uses on the site, the City Council will provide Staff with direction regarding a proposed
amendment to the Planned Development Zoning District for the Sierra/Trinity Business Park.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Staff estimates that the City Attorney's costs would be approximately $2,080 to complete this
task.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council provide Staff with direction on whether or not to work on
amending the Planned Development Rezone for the Sierra/Trinity Business Park. Should the
City Council wish to have Staff work on this, Staff also requests that this work be assigned a
priority of high, medium or low priority.

DESCRIPTION:
Background
At the request of the City Council, Staff has been reviewing City regulations to determine if any
changes are necessary in order to provide assistance to businesses and property owners due
to the current economic cfimate. As part of this review, Staff has observed that the current
Planned Development regulations in place for the Sierra/Trinity Business Park are placing a
burden on the current property owner by restricting the types of businesses that can locate on
the site.
The Sierra/Trinity Business Park is located at 6701 Sierra Court on the northeast corner of
Sierra Court and Sierra Lane as shown on the map below. The site is comprised of several
buildings which include a variety of tenant suites types.

The Sierra/Trinity Planned Development Zoning District (PA 85-71) was established by the City
Council on July 22, 1985 (Attachment 1).
Due to the limited number of permitted uses allowed pursuant to the Planned Development
Zoning District, Staff is requesting that the City Council direct Staff to prepare an amendment to
the Planned Development Zoning for the Sierra/Trinity Business Park to address expand the list
of permitted and conditionally permitted uses.
ANALYSIS:
The Planned Development Zoning District is specific in the types of uses that are allowed to
operate on the site. The following is a summary of the uses allowed at the Business Park:
^ Manufacturing or assembly;
^ Research assembly;
^ Industrial support (repair and/or maintenance of industrial parts);
^ Research laboratories and facilities;
^ Wholesale;
Page 2 of 4
^ Printing; and
^ Ancillary office uses.
As noted above, only a few uses are permitted to operate in the Sierra/Trinity Business Park
and therefore this Planned Development Zoning District is more restrictive than the surrounding
area which is Zoned M-1, Light Industrial Zoning District, and allows a wide variety of industrial
and other uses.
The Sierra/Trinity Business Park is unique in that it is designed and functions more like an office
park than a light industrial park. The site was designed with ample parking to support office
uses as well as light industrial uses. Most of the tenant suites do not have high ceilings and
large storage spaces with rolf-up doors, which are typical of light industrial designed tenant
suites. As a result, the design of the Sierra Trinity Business Park is not consistent with the uses
allowed by the Planned Development Zoning District.
The property owners have had difficulty in the last few years in renting out spaces in this
Planned Development because the allowable uses are not consistent with the design of the
tenant suites and because the Planned Development Zoning District is overly restrictive. Many
of the tenant spaces are designed to accommodate office uses; however, office uses are not
allowed in this Planned Development Zoning District. Similarty, the Tri Valley YMCA would like
to relocate from their current location in the City of Pleasanton to the Sierra/Trinity Business
Park. However, indoor recreational facilities such as the YMCA are not currently allowed to
operate in this Zoning District.
The M-P, Industrial Park Zoning District (Attachment 2, Pages 28-1 and 28-2, and Attachment
3) is more consistent with the design of the Sierra/Trinity Business Park. This zoning district
allows a wide variety of uses including light industrial, office, indoor recreational facilities,
community facilities and other uses which are consistent with an Industrial Zoning District.
If the City Council would like Staff to work on this amendment to the Planned Development
Zoning District, Staff would:
^ Prepare an Amendment to the Planned Development Zoning District to expand the list of
permitted and conditionally permitted uses to be more consistent with the M-P, Industrial
Park Zoning District;
^ Meet with the property owner to discuss the proposed amendments;
^ Prepare the appropriate environmental review; and
^ Prepare Staff Reports for the Planning Commission and City Council.
It is estimated that Staff will spend approximately 15 hours preparing the necessary documents
and meeting with the property owner. The City Attorney estimates that they will spend
approximately 10 hours on the project.
Should the City Council desire to have Staff work on this Amendment, it would be added to the
City's 2010-2011 Goals and Objectives. Therefore, as part of the City Council direction, Staff
would request that this project be given a high, medium or low priority.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
Although noticing for tonight's meeting is not required, Staff mailed a notice to all property
owners and tenants within 300 feet of the site, published a notice in the Valley Times and
posted the notice at several locations throughout the City.
