Pleasanton Measure D- Oak Grove Development
After years (since 1992) of back and forth between City officials, residents and land owners, the decision is down to a vote. Originally the Lin family who owns the land proposed a golf course with 122 homes. They could build 98, but dropped it to 51 large estates on about 70 acres. Is this what Pleasanton needs? What else comes with the 51 home sites? You decide June 8th.
What is Oak Grove?
Oak Grove Pleasanton is about 600 Acres of land at the South East corner of Pleasanton.
Oak Grove Development would… (Yes vote)
Allow 51 Custom Lots
Owners will give 497 acres to the city of Pleasanton for park land.
Owners will give $1 Million to the city for traffic improvements.
Pleasanton Unified School District will receive about $2 Million in fees and roughly $300,000 per year from taxes.

Oak Grove (No Vote)
Supporters of a No vote state that allowing Oak Grove to happen places large homes over 12,000 sf. on the ridgeline on Pleasanton’s hills.
Homes will be seen by existing neighborhoods and many parts of the city.
Figures stated about the PUSD are not correct as to the money it could receive and would be spent.
The 496 acres of donated open space is not that usable
The developer will be cutting down more than the 58 trees they stated.

why should we ruin our hills that we have to build houses. we dont need more houses in pleasanton
The Lin family owns the property. It is within the urban growth boundry. It is approved for 98 homes. Becky might be correct about needing more houses in Pleasanton. I am sure the Lins would entertain purchase offers from Becky, the no on D people, or the city itself. Until that happens, the Lins have a right to develop their property. Their offers to the city are generous and the 51 homes will blend well with the rest of Pleasanton’s hillside developments.
