50 to 60 du/ac instead, with the possibility to increase the upper limit at such time as more empirical data, including that related to traffic impacts, is available. DISCUSSION In keeping with the objectives of Stoneridge Mall Framework, staff and the professional services team drafted a document that includes components of the Framework, enclosed as Attachment 1 to this report, for consideration and adoption by the City Council. The content of the document is the culmination of the feedback provided by the Planning Commission and City Council, the community, and the consensus of the property owners. As noted above, the Planning Commission provided a favorable recommendation regarding adoption of the Framework Components and therefore it is now before the City Council for review and adoption, alongside the 2023-2031 (6th Cycle) Housing Element and Objective Design Standards. The Draft Stoneridge Mall Framework Components is summarized below. Draft Stoneridge Mall Framework Components The Framework Components include: • Background information; • Vision statement; • Guiding principles; • Allocation of housing units for each of the six mall parcels for the 2023-2031 (6th Cycle) Housing Element; and • Design and placemaking elements that would be reflected in a future Framework Plan or other comprehensive master plan. Background Information The background information includes a summary of the existing parcelization and ownership, history of development of the regional mall, existing zoning, the existing development agreement, reciprocal easement agreements, prior land uses changes (i.e., the rezoning that occurred with the 4th Cycle Housing Element), and the Framework process to date. Vision Statement The Vision Statement in the Framework Components is consistent with that shared at the September 26 Community Meeting and that provided by the three ownership entities: Stoneridge shall continue to be a community destination that will evolve into a more vibrant mixed-use community with retail, housing, commercial, dining and entertainment activities that are strong economic contributors to the City of Pleasanton. The City, in collaboration with the Stoneridge landowners, will establish a new district that facilitates development of an integrated, sustainable, mixed-use neighborhood, with well-connected walking, biking, vehicular and transit corridors throughout the property, and a range of high-quality public and private gathering spaces and placemaking amenities.
