Sites Inventory and Methodology City of Pleasanton | B-29 <br />Area 18 - Valley Plaza <br />Location: 1801, 1803, 1807, 1809, <br />1811 Santa Rita Road & 4295, 4285, <br />4303, 4305 Valley Avenue <br />APN: 946 329500202, 946 329500600, <br />946 329500700, 946 329500900, 946 <br />329501000, 946 329501100, 946 <br />329501200, 946 329501300 <br />Current General Plan Designation: <br />Retail/Highway/Service Commercial <br />Business and Professional Offices <br />Current Zoning Designation: <br />Planned Unit Development – <br />Commercial (PUD-C) <br />Lot Size (or portion of property proposed for development): <br />7.81 acres, 5.5 acres would be developed for housing <br />Proposed General Plan Designation: Housing Element Overlay <br />Estimated Potential Number of Housing Units: <br />Between 166 units (30 DUA) and 220 units (40 DUA) <br />Background and Description: <br />Valley Plaza shopping center is developed across eight parcels with six property owners. The <br />shopping center includes five multi-tenant commercial buildings, two fast-food drive-thru restaurants <br />and one restaurant in a standalone building. All parking within the center is surface parking. <br />Key Considerations and Feasibility for Site Development: <br />Valley Plaza was constructed in the 1970’s and consists of eight commercial and office buildings. <br />During the Housing Element process, staff received statements of interest from two of the six property <br />owners, who together control ownership of approximately 80 percent of the center’s acreage across <br />four of the eight parcels. The property owners have indicated that they are interested in rezoning their <br />properties to allow for future residential development. Indeed, the property owners shared a <br />preliminary/concept plan with the City indicating interest in potential development of two different <br />options: one that would provide 195 units, and another with 198 units, which are both approximately in <br />the middle of the range identified by the City (the middle range is 193 units). A Mixed-use project is <br />expected on this site to retain neighborhood-serving retail uses within the center. Although the <br />redevelopment area comprises over seven acres, to accommodate replacement commercial uses, <br />only 5.5 acres are identified as the housing site. <br />A service station is located to the southeast of the site. Other adjacent uses include apartments and <br />townhomes to the west, a two-story office building to the north (and Mission Plaza further north), and <br />medium-density residential uses consisting of townhome and single-family development across Santa <br />Rita Road to the east. <br />Hatching represents portion for development
