The Pleasanton Planning Commission is set to vote on an application Wednesday for the demolition of a commercial building at 4400 Black Avenue and the construction of 59 condominiums and seven accessory dwelling units on the property.
According to the staff report for the Nov. 12 meeting, the commission will also be voting on approving the vesting tentative tract map, which includes the designation of private street names, and approving an Affordable Housing Agreement (AHA), which will help enforce the city’s inclusionary housing requirements.
“The project provides 59 housing units, including nine affordable housing units, which assist the City in meeting its housing goals,” Associate Planner Diego Mora wrote in his agenda report. “Although not a basis for approval or denial of the project, staff finds the building design and overall landscaping, open space to be attractive, and the architectural style, finish colors, and materials will complement the surrounding development.”

According to the overall scope of work, the project aims to build 10, three-story buildings with a total of 59 townhome-style condominiums that span over 96,584 square feet located just south of the Amador Valley High School sports field. The applicant behind the project is The True Life Companies, a real estate developer based in San Ramon.
The maximum height for each of the buildings would be 42 feet and 10 inches and would range in size from approximately 1,446 to 2,224 square feet. The condominiums would also range from either three or four bedrooms.
Nine of the units are also proposed to be deed-restricted lower-income housing units.
In addition to the residential units, the project is also proposing on and off site improvements; 13,636 square feet of group open space; and surface parking. According to the staff report, each townhome would “have a two-car private garage accessed via common access streets.”
The Planning Commission meeting is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. Wednesday (Nov. 12). The full agenda can be accessed here.
