Pleasanton BART October 9, 2025 Site Re-Use Options Memorandum 22 c. Non-residential uses Based on market assessment, this development would potentially be primarily residential, with complementary ground floor active uses in some of the buildings. Active uses could include local-serving retail or services, educational facilities, community space or public facility such as a library, flex space, and/or medical offices. 6,000-7,000 SF of retail is currently shown in the test fits on Sites 2 and 3. While the location of this commercial space can be flexible, it should be used to activate the new plaza around the Iron Horse trail first and secondarily the Owens Drive frontage. Another scenario laid out in the market assessment is a phased strategy that allows for the possibility of developing one of the sites with a commercial or institutional use at a later stage in the market cycle. The non-residential building could be an educational facility or part of a mixed-use office, or there could be support for a hotel, depending on how market conditions evolve. While reserving a whole site for non-residential use might lead to a substantial drop in the amount of housing the site could deliver, it may be possible to instead provide just one whole floor of non-residential use on a single site. For instance, in Site 2, this would yield approximately 35,000 square feet of non-residential use at the ground floor with a loss of only 25 units. Site 3 Site 2 Site 2
