Planning Commission Agenda Packet 102225 (1)

Pleasanton BART October 9, 2025 Site Re-Use Options Memorandum 5 Along with right-sized passenger loading, the new street frontage would also incorporate residential loading, rideshare pick-up/drop-off areas, and commercial loading (such as those for delivery vehicles) as required by City of Pleasanton standards. Any remaining curb space may become short-term street parking. Both options also maintain the existing circulation on the north and eastern portions of the site, with potential reduction in lanes in the east access street if all modal circulation needs are met. This circulation will continue to be used by buses and service vehicles. It is necessary to maintain this circulation as it provides the necessary connection to the Dublin side of the BART station, as well as providing maintenance access to the Hewlett Canal running north of the project site and BART’s Traction Power Sub Station. Garage access for residential parking of the new developments on Sites 3 and 4 may be provided at the rear of these sites from this road. In both options, a continuous sidewalk along Owens Drive provides pedestrian access to the site. A central plaza and pathways around each building provide pedestrian connection through the site. The plaza also leads towards the entry to the BART station. Please note that while graphics below show the turnaround with the 4-parcel configuration and the loop with a 3-parcel configuration, either vehicle access alternative can work with either parcel configuration. The key difference is that the loop option reduces the developable area of Site 2. i. Access Option A-1: Turnaround Figure 2-2: Turnaround option for vehicular access. The Turnaround option provides all internal BART rider pick-up and drop-off (also known as passenger loading) via a single entry/exit point and turning area (similar to a “cul-de-sac”). This offers a more compact footprint and consolidates drop-off activity near the station entrance along the extension of Willow Road between Sites 1 and 2. One pedestrian crossing will be needed along the Owens Drive frontage at the Willow Road intersection. The Turnaround configuration provides up to 300 feet of curb length for passenger pick-up and drop-off within the station. With a width of 26 feet, the roadway at the turnaround can accommodate the required 13-foot-wide accessible passenger loading area on the right side of the roadway while providing one lane for circulation. This accessible passenger loading area includes a 5-foot-wide minimum access aisle and 8-foot-wide minimum vehicle pull-up space. The Turnaround configuration could provide a total of up to 1,170 feet of curb length along the Owens Drive street frontage. As shown in Figure 2-2, this could be used to accommodate BART rider loading in front of Sites 2 and 3, with the rest used for residential and commercial loading
