CITY COUNCIL MEETING SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL

2 of 3 The Housing Element also requires the Plan to assess potential complementary non- residential uses and evaluate the vehicular parking demand of on-site uses, in addition to BART rider parking. MTC-ABAG Grant Funding The grant funding from MTC-ABAG is to facilitate completion of the Concept Plan and evaluation of parking (with special emphasis on BART rider parking) and station access. The objective of the parking analysis is to “right-size” the number of parking spaces on the site, balancing demand from BART riders and facilitating housing development consistent with the densities assumed in the Housing Element and permitted by State law. The parking evaluation effort has yet to commence, although MTC-ABAG has advised that it plans to hold kick-off meetings in early 2026. The BART Concept Plan will evaluate how best to incorporate these considerations following City Council input regarding the site re-use scenarios at the November 18, 2025, City Council meeting. BART Transit-Oriented Development Policy Over the last several years, BART’s policy position on vehicular parking has substantially shifted, with planning and funding priorities for station improvements and investments increasingly focused on multimodal station access and TOD. The BART Board has adopted a TOD Policy to provide a vision, goals, and strategies to further TOD around its stations. BART has established a TOD Work Plan to analyze, among other things, market readiness, local support for TOD, infrastructure needs, and development capacity, with the goal of informing BART’s development priorities for its stations. The Dublin-Pleasanton station is identified for the Tier 2 mid-term timeframe, meaning that the Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit developer interest will be issued in the 2029-2033 timeframe. This straddles the end point for the 6th Cycle Housing Element, which is from 2023-2031. Accordingly, the first Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with BART, which aims to solidify the cooperative partnership between the two agencies, identifies that the RFP for developer interest will be issued by 2028 or 2029 to facilitate the construction of housing within the timeframe of the 6th Cycle Housing Element. DISCUSSION Concept Plan Parking Approach at Dublin-Pleasanton BART To develop the site with housing, considering the objectives of the BART TOD Policy, along with the City’s Housing Element goal, the site would have fewer vehicular BART rider parking spaces than currently exist. If BART rider parking (retaining or increasing the number of on-site spaces) is prioritized over the development of the site for housing, the site’s ability to be counted as part of the inventory may be threatened. If so, the City may need to reevaluate its Housing Element and potentially rezone sites in addition to those already earmarked earlier this year. The site re-use scenarios that will be presented to the City Council on November 18 each assume that some BART rider parking will be provided with redevelopment (along with parking to serve new residential and other uses). However, the concepts do not identify the specific number of replacement parking spaces to be provided, but rather provide a degree
