The Pleasanton school board will look at ways to add some money to its coffers at its meeting tonight.

In an agreement to be considered tonight, the school district would receive nearly $2.9 million in school impact fees from Pleasanton Gateway LLC in a developer’s agreement.

Pleasanton Gateway plans to build 210 multifamily rental units, 62 single-family row houses and 35 single-family, two-story homes on a 26-acre site along Valley Avenue just south of Bernal Avenue and the Pleasanton Gateway shopping center.

The Gateway project recently received approvals for its project from the Pleasanton City Council.

The school district would receive the money in phases as each part of the project is built. Presumably, although not spelled out in the agreement, the money would help offset the extra cost to the district for children from those homes as families move in.

The school board will consider the agreement with Pleasanton Gateway as part of its consent agenda, in which items not requiring a public hearing are voted on in one package.

The board will also consider a resolution to close the commercial property loophole that’s risen since the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978.

A resolution by the school board would ask the state to modernize how commercial property is assessed by the state “to allow for more regular commercial property value reassessment.”

  1. why doesn’t the school board sell the lot they own on vineyard avenue to a developer for an apartment complex so the ruby hill area can also be impacted by the low income high density situation that is coming to town

  2. Ruby Hill bashing is tired and overplayed. The Ruby Hill comment is class warfare with no substance. Envy is ugly when it gets malicious. RH pays a large percentage of Pleasanton property taxes.

  3. envy is only ugly when your envious which I am not once again the comment is to share the impact of several thousand new residents throughout the community

  4. Parkside will be impacted by the new housing mandates, one way or another. Most of the rezoned sites are within 2 miles of this neighborhood! Name one other place in this city that is going to have so many new high density apts and low income housing that close.
    Whats wrong with the big site over by BART…that doesn’t back up to anyone residence.
    Why isn’t the city sharing the impact of all this new mandated building with other neighborhoods?

  5. I think you are right ???, but which sites are they actually going to build on. I know the one on W. Los Positas is far into the planning stages. I’ve seen the developers renderings. The other sites I don’t think there is anything in the works for.

  6. Pretty sure a project has already been approved for the land across from Bart and for the parcel behind Kaiser. Pretty sure a large project has already been approved on the east side as well.

    Just curious but are you aware that an office building up to 60 feet tall can be in the business park? That would include anyway along West Las Positas. That has been in effect for over 20 years.
