The <br />shopping center comprises a number of two-story retail buildings with one parking garage (adjacent to the <br />formerly Sears store); the remainder of the site is surface parking. It includes the smaller-scale tenant spaces <br />(managed by Simon Properties) and five anchor department stores: JCPenney, two Macy’s stores, and two <br />vacant tenants (formerly Sears and Nordstrom). Four different owners control the land within the Shopping <br />Center, with Simon Property Group the largest single owner. The previous Housing Element designated two areas <br />of the shopping center totaling 10 acres for high density housing, in the southeast quadrant and northwest <br />quadrant of the mall site. In year 2019, Simon Property Group received Design Review approval for a significant <br />commercial expansion on the site of the former Sears retail space and parking structure, although construction of <br />the project is currently on hold. The City is also processing an application for a 360-unit residential project on one <br />of the sites designated for housing in the previous Housing Element. <br />In August 2022, the City engaged a professional services team to undertake a “Framework” planning effort for the <br />Mall, which will create policy and planning guidance for future residential projects and other redevelopment. This <br />effort has included close coordination with property owners and a number of public meetings to formulate feasible <br />redevelopment concepts. The adoption of initial Framework components, anticipated to be completed in January <br />2023, is the first step in the comprehensive planning for the site as discussed in Housing Element Program 1.7. <br />Key Considerations and Feasibility for Site Development: <br />The site is within ¼ to ½ mile of the West Dublin/Pleasanton BART station, and a ¼ mile from the freeway on <br />ramp as well as within close proximity to a high concentration of office/employment uses. <br />The Stoneridge Shopping Center has approximately 40 acres of surface parking, not including the area already <br />designed for housing. Staff has identified that there are approximately 18 acres within the current surface parking <br />lots that could realistically develop with high density residential development, given that replacement parking and <br />commercial uses would also be integrated into these areas. The Shopping Center is currently parked at a ratio of
