Pleasanton planning commission approves 474‑unit Village at the Quarry with 101 deed‑restricted affordable rentals

The Pleasanton Planning Commission approved the Village at the Quarry housing project on April 23, authorizing a vesting tentative map and site‑compliance review for an approximately 52‑acre site in East Pleasanton. The development proposes 310 detached two‑story single‑family homes, 62 junior accessory dwelling units and 102 multifamily rental units — about 474 total units — and includes an affordable housing component of 102 units (101 of them deed‑restricted), staff said.

The approval follows a staff presentation that recommended the commission find the project consistent with the cityc27s Housing Element EIR under CEQA and approve the applications pursuant to state density‑bonus provisions. Planner Jenny and Director Clark told commissioners the project qualifies for density‑bonus incentives and is seeking 19 waivers and one concession under state law, many of them related to multifamily parking standards and certain design dimensions.

Why it matters: The project is one of the largest housing proposals in Pleasantonc27s current RHNA cycle and would add hundreds of homes and a significant affordable component to the East Pleasanton area. Staff said the project triggers off‑site traffic improvements and other infrastructure work and is being evaluated through the cityc27s objective design standards and the state density‑bonus framework.
