Meghan Campbell 0 FARE LLA November 30, 2022 BRAUN+MARTELLLP Page 7 Along the western edge of the mining complex, at the corner of Stanley Boulevard and Valley Avenue at 3400 Boulder Court, is a business that transports concrete from these massive manufacturing facilities to construction sites: Pleasanton Ready Mix Concrete. Next door at 3500 Boulder Court is a site used by PERI Formwork Systems, which supplies concrete construction forms for major construction projects. Across the street is a concrete product supplier(Oldcastle Infrastructure);two doors down is BCP Concrete, a concrete contractor. Pleasanton Ready Mix has been in business in Pleasanton for over fifty years, since 1968.3 It would make no sense at all for it to move away from the massive concrete manufacturing/mining facilities that neighbor its location on Stanley Boulevard. Likewise, PERI Formwork is in the right location given its business: it is co-located with the other cement/concrete supply related businesses that occupy this massive complex. The City nevertheless lists the two parcels as meeting the need for 284 units of lower income housing. According to the site inventory, owner interest is"unknown." The City apparently lists these sites solely because"The sites are considered underutilized with very low intensity uses and minimal site improvements." This does not address the statutory requirement. In order to determine if a site is suitable and available for low income housing, nonvacant land can only be listed if there is substantial evidence that the existing use is likely to discontinue. Given the obvious logistical and cost reasons why a concrete ready-mix supplier would want to be next door to several cement manufacturing facilities, and why a concrete forms builder would want to be located in the same area as other cement-related businesses,the City cannot credibly assert that the existing use is likely to cease during the next eight years. 6. 4283 Rosewood (Rose Pavilion) Rose Pavilion is a shopping center located just off the Santa Rita exit for interstate 580. It is anchored by a Trader Joe's on one side, and 99 Ranch Market(a grocery store) on the other; there is also a Macy's Home Furniture and Restoration Hardware Outlet, a Total Wine and Spirits, a CVS Pharmacy, and a number of quick service restaurants, including a Starbucks, a Taco Bell, a Blaze Pizza, and a Panda Express.4 According to the owner,the shopping center has 3.25 million visits per year; 8,900 visits per day. It is by any measure a busy,thriving retail center. The main entrance to a portion of the site, according to the draft Housing Element, is the potential location for 62 units of affordable housing. The portion zoned for commercial but with multi-family housing as a permitted use is current occupied by anchor tenant 99 Ranch Market (which opened there in 2010), and a series of smaller tenants, including an acupuncturist, a hot dog restaurant, a hair salon, a spa, a boxing gym, a pho restaurant, a bank, a furniture store, and a standalone Starbucks. 3 HAC Appendix Tab 9. 4 HAC Appendix Tab 10.
