The inventory nonetheless lists 45.94 acres in five parcels, and then uses the minimum density for all 45.94 acres to claim that the sites will provide 532 units of lower income housing and 280 units of above moderate. If only 18 acres"could realistically develop," then listing 45.94 acres is wrong. Without substantial evidence that Macy's, JC Penney's, and other retail tenants plan to cease use of the retail mall and associated parking lots at the Stoneridge Mall, and without a "realistic"belief that 55.94 acres (including the 10 previously zoned) will "likely"be used for housing during the next eight years, these sites do not count towards the RHNA need for lower income housing. 4. 3675 Old Santa Rita Road The 2.66 acre parcel at 3657-3675 Old Santa Rita Road, with APN 946-3200000205 (listed as meeting the need for 79 affordable lower income units), is lumped in with a discussion of a 43 parcel group along this road. The draft contains no individualized consideration of this particular parcel. While some of the other properties on the street are vacant or underutilized,this site is not. It contains a shopping center currently occupied by a popular sushi restaurant(which has been there for over ten years), a pool/spa company showroom and warehouse/fabrication facility, and a fourteen year old custom car modification shop (car stereos, custom wheels, custom suspension, auto detailing,tinted windows, and car performance enhancements), among others. The pool company, Adams Pool Solutions/Royal Pools is the largest swimming pool contractor in California, and has been in business in Pleasanton since 1953. 3675 Old Santa Rita Road is its headquarters. According to its website, it has 340 employees— 50 of whom have proudly worked for this nearly seventy year old company for more than twenty years—and two other locations(one in San Jose,the other in Las Vegas, after Adams acquired another pool company in the 1990s). Is Adams Pool Solutions about to go out of business? There's no substantial evidence of this. Nor is there any reason to expect that it is about to move. As recently as October 2020, it carried out a$67,500 re-roofing of one of the buildings. See Pleasanton Building Department Record B20-2229. Absent substantial evidence that the use of this particular property is likely to cease, the City cannot count it towards the RHNA need. 5. 3400 and 3500 Boulder Court(Stanley Boulevard/Valley Avenue) On the eastern edge of Pleasanton is a massive surface mining complex, one of the largest in the State of California. Several major concrete suppliers have surface mining permits, and use over 1,000 acres to make concrete and cement: Central Concrete Supply, Vulcan Materials Pleasanton, CEMEX Pleasanton Concrete Plant, CEMEX Eliot Aggregates Plant, Right Aware Redy Mix, and so on. The complex as a whole covers roughly four and a half square miles.
