development area is 14.8 acres and noted there is a total of 31 units recommended and the Planning Commission recommended it be included. In response to Councilmember Arkin, Director Clark confirmed it is a hilly site and all units would be subject to Measure PP and QQ restrictions. The site is outside of the City limits and annexation will be proposed as part of the development site and would fall into the above-moderate housing requirement. MOTION: It was m/s by Narum/Balch to include Site 1 in the inventory with a density of 2 units per acre as recommended and as noted. Motion passed by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Arkin, Balch, Narum, Testa, Mayor Brown Noes: None Absent: None Director Clark inquired if Site 2: Stoneridge Mall should remain in the preliminary inventory for further consideration and if there should be any changes to the recommended density range. A total of 18 acres have been identified for infill housing and advised the density is 45 to 75 units per acre and would yield 810 units. The Planning Commission recommended the site be included in the inventory. In response to Councilmember Balch, Director Clark clarified the 810 units would be in addition to those included in the application by Simon Properties to develop 480 units. Associate Planner Hagen clarified the development application is on pause due to the pandemic and is not currently entitled although it is zoned for 485 units. Director Clark that development is zoned at 40 units to the acre. In response to Councilmember Balch, Traffic Engineer Mike Tassano reported the Stoneridge Mall has some additional capacity and is dependent on whether the proposed 810-unit project would replace the 350,000 square feet of future retail or be proposed in addition to it. He advised the Stoneridge and Stoneridge Mall intersection is at capacity. He advised the preference from a transportation perspective would be to develop the west side. In response to Councilmember Narum, Traffic Engineer Tassano believes if people return to work as normal before the pandemic there will be increased traffic at Stoneridge Mall. He would not be supportive of adding more than the proposed 810 units on the site. He reported the traffic congestion is experienced at Stoneridge Drive and Johnson Drive. In response to Councilmember Narum, Director Clark explained 45 units per acre is similar to the podium piece of the Vintage Project at Stanley Boulevard and Bernal Avenue. She advised 75 units per acre would be similar to the sites in Dublin which are 5 to 6 story buildings. Councilmember Arkin recommended increasing the density on this site as it is near to transportation and has very little impact on neighborhoods. She advised the developer wants to go higher density. She recommended moving from 50 to 100 units per acre. In response to Mayor Brown, Director Clark clarified density for the development at the Hacienda BART Station is 35 to 40 units per acre. Interim City Manager Dolan advised none of the projects that were built were over 30 units per acre although there were some higher designations. In response to Councilmember Testa, Director Clark explained a Stoneridge Specific Plan has been a work plan item for a couple of years, but the coordination has been difficult in the face of the other priorities. She advised this process would set a range of housing for the site and staff would follow up with a more detailed specific plan. Councilmember Testa recommended increasing the density of the site.
