Planning Commission Agenda Packet 102225 (1)

BART Concept Plan Planning Commission 8 of 9 regular basis. Of the occupied spaces, about 250 spaces are taken by Pleasanton residents (approximately 18.5 percent of the total parking spaces). The Dublin side of the station also provides opportunities for vehicular parking, between dedicated BART surface and garage spaces, and additional spaces in a recently constructed Alameda County parking garage. Given the densities for residential development and space on the site necessary to accommodate parking for the housing units and any non- residential uses, BART rider parking will be reduced from the existing 1,352 surface spaces. BART policy is also to encourage and prioritize non-vehicular modes of travel, such as pedestrian, bicycle, transit/shuttle, paratransit, and rider pick-up and drop-off. Further evaluation and strategies to offset lost BART rider parking at the station are expected to be forthcoming as part of a focused analysis on parking management and station area access. • Non-residential Uses: The site would principally consist of residential development, but the project team felt it desirable to also evaluate the range of potential non -residential uses that could be located on the site. Active uses, especially located adjacent to the plaza, would help to activate the area and contribute to overall vitality and ambiance of the station. The market assessment and analysis indicate that these active uses could include local-serving retail or personal services. Other potential u ses that are not currently found in north Pleasanton include educational facilities, community spaces or a public facility such as a self-serve library or flexible space. While generally not considered an active use, a medical office could also be considered. Future planning and phasing of the project could yield that the non-residential uses be constructed later in the market cycle when support for other uses, such as hotel, is possible. WORK SESSION Staff requests input and feedback from the Planning Commission regarding these site development options. While the options are preliminary at this stage, feedback from the Commission (and City Council) would be incorporated into a Concept Plan document to provide guidance for the site's development and facilitate BART issuing an RFP to develop it. Discussion Question 1: Does the Planning Commission have any comments regarding the range of development represented in the site development scenarios (e.g., building height, maximum units)? Discussion Question 2: Does the Planning Commission have any feedback on any of the other topics included in this report (e.g., plaza, non-residential uses, etc.)? Discussion Question 3: Does the Planning Commission have any other feedback that it would like incorporated into the Concept Plan? SCHEDULE AND NEXT STEPS The Concept Plan is intended to be completed by Spring of 2026, such that the site re-use options have been vetted by the community and adopted by City Council, and a second MOU with BART is in place and ready for future advancement to facilitate development of the site.
