Other Land Use Components: In addition to including new high-density housing, several other "common themes" among the conceptual scenarios include: • Potential for a new grocery store. The northwest quadrant of the city containing the mall and surrounding areas, west of 1-680 and south of 1-580, does not include many local services and lacks a grocery story. As new population is introduced into the Stoneridge Mall area, there could be adequate demand to support a grocery store that could serve as an amenity to both new and existing residents and reduce the need for residents to drive elsewhere for daily shopping needs. It is noted that introduction of a grocery store or similar market is likely to be feasible/successful only after some proportion of the new housing has been constructed, to provide an adequate customer base. • Potential for a new hotel (up to 120 rooms). Given its convenient location to nearby freeways, and adjacency to several major corporations including Workday and 10X Genomics, the mall area could accommodate a new hotel, which in addition to lodging, could provide amenities such as a restaurant or bar, and/or conference and meeting space. (Hotels are not currently a permitted use within the mall area.) • New mixed-use retail/active use/open space areas. New areas of retail and mixed-use development (e.g., ground floor retail appropriately located in multi- story residential buildings, or smaller shops oriented along internal streets and open spaces) could serve to help new housing development and to attract and draw customers into the mall core. These new areas include outdoor spaces that begin to turn the entire development outward so that there are outdoor activity/gatherings areas surrounded by shops, while they support the mall core. • Potential parcel reconfiguration or modest "land swaps." The scenarios conceive possible areas of collaboration to provide more logical and consolidated development areas) between property owners (e.g., land swap to address more challenging property line configurations or accommodate shared roadways). While collaboration between property owners, specifically "swapping" of land, would be complex undertaking, it could benefit both participating parties and result in more feasible and desirable development outcomes. Guiding Principles Since development at the mall will involve multiple property owners across various parcels, and to encourage a cohesive and unified visitor experience, below are draft guiding principles that would apply to development projects: • Connect to and Circulate Around the Mall: A perimeter multi-use path along Stoneridge Mall Road could connect all the development sites together, create a strong connection to BART, and provide recreational opportunities for walking, biking, jogging, and strolling for residents and workers in the area. Within the interior, an internal circulation drive could connect development areas, and wherever grades do not allow a vehicular drive, a pedestrian path could be Page 8 of 17
