East Pleasanton
The East Pleasanton Policy Framework (EPPF) project is a City Council-directed initiative to update the City’s vision and establish policies related to East Pleasanton. The EPPF project will establish a high-level vision for the preferred future of East Pleasanton, including potential future land uses, open space, and public infrastructure needed to serve development.
Despite the absence of a specific plan, multiple development projects have been proposed in East Pleasanton. The EPPF project will not evaluate the merits of the proposed projects in East Pleasanton or consider alternative land uses on these sites. These proposed projects will be considered separately as part of the entitlement process for required permits and approvals. As shown below five development applications are pending:
- Parcel H: 300,000 sq. ft. industrial and office (proposed)
- Arroyo Lago: 189 single-family homes (proposed)
- East Lakes: 330 single-family and 367 multi-family homes (proposed)
- Seefried/Villages at the Quarry (former Kiewit): 310 single-family and 102 multifamily homes (approved)
- Amazon: 640,000 sq. ft. warehouse (proposed)
Additional Information
History of East Pleasanton
City efforts to prepare an East Pleasanton Specific Plan began in 2012. After substantial public participation, a draft Specific Plan and Environmental Impact Report was published in 2014. The Specific Plan presents a vision for the future of East Pleasanton with detailed policies relating to land use, urban design, transportation, environmental protection, and public infrastructure and services. Work on the Specific Plan paused in 2015 and resumed in 2019. In 2020 work on the Specific Plan stopped again due to the pandemic and other considerations. The draft Specific Plan was ultimately never adopted.
On February 4, 2025, the City Council discussed the proposed Arroyo Lago and East Lakes project and directed City staff to process annexation and development applications for these two projects. At this meeting, the City Council also directed City staff to initiate the East Pleasanton Policy Framework (EPPF) process to establish in the General Plan a vision for East Pleasanton with policies for future development in the area. The EPPF process is intended to be focused and streamlined, with Planning Commission and City Council meetings providing the venue for public input and participation.
