• ANALYSIS General Plan The Stoneridge Corporate Plaza site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of "Retail/Highway/Service Commercial; Business and Professional Offices" which permits office uses. The 6.9-acre BART site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of "Mixed Use" which permits office uses and the development of a single use on a site if such use is approved as part of a PUD. Therefore, the project is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designations. The proposed 410,000-square-foot office building would result in a floor area ratio (FAR) of 1.36 for the 6.9-acre BART site (parking structures and basement parking are not counted towards the FAR, per the Pleasanton Municipal Code). This complies with the 1.5 maximum FAR permitted for the Mixed Use land use designation. Below are some of the General Plan Goals, Programs, and Policies that the modified project is consistent with or would promote. In general, the project would promote General Plan policies by allowing a major employer to expand near a transit station, offering the potential for reduced vehicle trips and traffic. Land Use Element Sustainability Program 2.2: Encourage the reuse of vacant and underutilized parcels and buildings within existing urban areas. Program 2.4: Require higher residential and commercial densities in the proximity of transportation corridors and hubs, where feasible. Program 2.5: Assure that new major commercial, office, and institutional centers are adequately served by transit and by pedestrian and bicycle facilities. Overall Community Development Goal 2: Achieve and maintain a complete well-rounded community of desirable neighborhoods, a strong employment base, and a variety of community facilities. Policy 4: Allow development consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map. Industrial, Commercial and Office Policy 13: Ensure that neighborhood, community, and regional commercial centers provide goods and services needed by residents and businesses of Pleasanton and its market area. Zoning The BART property was rezoned to Planned Unit Development — Mixed Use District in June 2014 as part of Workday's original applications. This zoning allows for office uses as well as ancillary uses associated with an office campus such as an employee cafeteria and employee fitness facility. The previously approved land uses would not change with the proposed modifications. Therefore, the existing zoning for the site does not need to be changed.
