OPEN FORUM

Approval of the March 17, 2026 Planning Commission Draft Meeting Minutes.

Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve the draft minutes.

THIS ITEM HAS BEEN CONTINUED TO THE MAY 19, 2026, PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING

Project review to develop a 3.2-acre vacant parcel with a Wine Country Inn consisting of 24 single story cottage style buildings with a total of 30 guest bedrooms, a small meeting space, guest kitchen, lobby building, guest pool, and a caretaker's unit. The project includes a total of approximately 19,100 square feet of building area, 39 paved parking spaces, 8 bicycle parking spaces, landscaping with 82 new trees, and related on and-off site improvements. The new proposal modifies the previously approved project Site Plan Design Review (SPDR) 23-001 for a two story, 29,345 square foot building with a 77-seat restaurant. The new proposal reduces the building area by 10,245 square-feet and does not include a restaurant. No changes are proposed to Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 23-002 for the approved caretaker's residence.

Hearing to consider a request to amend the project approvals for Vesting Tentative Tract Map (VTTM) 8612 - Subdivision (SUB) 21-007 and Site Plan Design Review (SPDR) 21-006, known as Aura, and Vesting Tentative Tract Map (VTTM) 8613 - Subdivision (SUB) 21-006 and Site Plan and Design Review (SPDR) 21-005, known as Serenity, to authorize an alternative means of compliance with the City's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance for each project, pursuant to Livermore Development Code Section 11.70.040. The alternative compliance method would be implemented through a future Affordable Housing Agreement for Aura and an amendment to the existing Affordable Housing Agreement for Serenity. The requested amendments would not result in any physical changes to the environment that were not otherwise considered in the original project approvals.

Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt resolutions recommending the City Council: 1. Approve Subdivision Amendment (SUBA) 26-001 and Site Plan Design Review Modification (SPDRM) 26-013 (Shea Aura) 2. Approve Subdivision Amendment (SUBA) 26-002 and Site Plan Design Review Modification (SPDRM) 26-014 (Shea Serenity)
