Page 1 of 10 Item #11 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT November 18, 2025 Community and Economic Development TITLE: RECEIVE A REPORT ON THE DUBLIN/PLEASANTON BART STATION CONCEPT PLAN AND PROVIDE DIRECTION ON PRELIMINARY SITE RE-USE OPTIONS SUMMARY The 6th Cycle Housing Element, adopted by the City Council and certified by the State, identifies the east Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station as a future location for high-density housing, and includes a program to prepare a concept plan for the station, intended to further redevelopment of the site while addressing parking for new uses and existing commuters. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission - Association of Bay Area Governments (MTC- ABAG) awarded grant funding to the City to support development of a concept plan with support of a consultant team, with work underway since April 2025. This report is to provide site re-use options to the City Council for its feedback, following the Planning Commission meeting on October 22, 2025. Feedback received from the public at a community meeting held on September 17, 2025, is also summarized in this report for the City Council’s consideration. The options represent a range of development scenarios that could be incorporated into future development of the subject site. The City Council is being asked to comment generally on these options (i.e., not select a preferred option). RECOMMENDATION Receive a report on the Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station Concept Plan and provide direction on preliminary site re-use options. BACKGROUND Implementation of the Housing Element The City Council re-adopted the Housing Element at its September 19, 2023, meeting, following California Department of Housing and Community Development’s (HCD) certification in August 2023. Program 1.3 of the Housing Element identifies the preparation of a Concept Plan for the east Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station (the BART site) to plan for housing in accordance with the densities assigned in the Housing Element and State law. It also calls for the Plan to assess potential complementary non-residential uses and to evaluate vehicular parking demand of the on-site uses in addition to BART rider parking. The program calls for this work to be started in 2024 and completed by December 2026, with the objective of facilitating redevelopment and housing on the site to occur within the timeframe of the 2023-31 (6th Cycle) Housing Element. Staff has initiated the Concept Plan with a professional services team, with the contract administered and funded through a grant awarded as part of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission - Association of Bay Area Governments (MTC- ABAG’s) Priority Sites Program.
