FOSTORIA WAY STUDY
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT GPA 85-2
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
Members of the Planning Commission
February 6, 1986
SUBJECT: Fostoria Way Study
Attached is the staff report for the Fostoria Way Study Area
General Plan Amendment. The report includes a thorough',analysis
of the various issues associated with the study as well as
discussion of the Final EIR.
RECOMMENDATION
a)
b)
c)
certify the Final EIR
adopt a General Plan Amendment as illustrated in Exhibit 1
of the attached Resolution, and
initiate procedures for Conditional Rezoning of the Study
Area or other comparable means of implementation addressing
the major issues described in the Conclusion section of
this report and establishing development standards for the
site.
The General Plan Amendment recommended through this action is as
follows:
a)
Single Family Residential - Medium Density; 3-5 dwelling
units per acre.
This designation would apply to the northerly 385-470 feet
of the site extending from its westerly boundary to a point
approximately 1100 feet east of the dead end of Camino
Ramon. At this point the Single Family designation would
narrow to 250-290 feet then extending to the easterly
boundary of the Podva property, including the portion of
the Podva Property extending behind the existing single
family homes. This area would include 22-24.5 acres and
could yield from 60 to 112 dwellings depending on the
ultimate width and density approved through the zoning
(these figures do not apply density to the 2 acre northerly
portion of the Podva Property).
b)
Multiple Family Residential - MediUm Density 13-21 dwelling
units per acre.
This designation would apply to the southeastern portion of
the site (including the southerly 470± feet of the Podva
Property) extending from the extension of Camino Ramon from
the south ~0 ~he easterly boundary of the Podva DroDerty.
Thi~ area t~tal~ approximately 8 acres and could yield from
104 to 168 dwellings.
EXHIBIT I (pg. 2)
c) Commercial
This designation would apply to approximately 30-32 acres
at the southwest portion of the site adjacent to 1-680 and
Fostoria Way. It would include approximately 5 acres for a
hotel/motel development and 25-27.5 acres designated for
destination commercial uses.
d)
General Open Space
This designation would apply to the area within the
Southern Pacific Railroad right of way.
The recommended General Plan Amendment is predicated on adoption
of conditional zoning or other comparable means of
implementation to affect the following;
a) Circulation:
1)
Camino Ramon should not be extended as a through street
to Crow Canyon Road, but should provide access to the
single family and multiple family development on the
north and east portions of the Study Area directed
northerly to Greenbrook Drive and Sycamore Valley Road.
2)
Emergency vehicle access should be provided in one or
more locations such that through access is provided for
police and fire vehicles linking the northerly and
southerly ends of Camino Ramon. Design of this
emergency vehicle access should be subject to review
and approval by the police and fire agencies,
preferrably having electronically controlled gates such
that response times are not impacted Further, and
easement shall be provided extending from Camino Ramon
on the north to Fostoria Way at sufficient width for
extension of Camino Ramon if desired at some point in
the future.
3) A new overcrossing of 1-680 at Fostoria Way should not
be made a requirement of development of the Study Area;
and
4) The City and the various developers should cooperate
with the City of San Ramon towards determining the
optimum solution to cumulative traffic impacts. (An
overcrossing at Fostoria Way is one alternative being
considered.)
5)
Due to existing uncertainties regarding necessary
traffic improvements to address cumulative impacts,
specific development approval~ for the ~ita ~hould not
be granted unless:
EXHIBIT I (pg. 3)
b) Land Use
l)
The northerly portion of the Podva property should not
be developed, but should be held for future acquisition
for use in conjunction with the SPRR right-of-way or to
be combined with the existing single family lots on the
west side.
2)
Agricultural Preserve status should not be granted for
the Borel property. ~
3)
The 1.8 acre parcel adjacent to 1-680 should be
developed with a motel, and an additional 3.2 acres (5
acres total) should be reserved for future expansion of
the motel; and,
4)
Commercial uses on the site should be limited to the
aforementioned motel and "destination commercial" uses
such as automobile dealers, automobile related
products, large destination type stores (Best, Simons,
Toys R Us, etc.) and other similar stores which depend
on the general public's knowledge of their location
through marketing efforts or repeat shopping.
