B-14 | City of Pleasanton Sites Inventory and Methodology Table B-11: Existing Uses on Nonvacant Lower Income Sites and Potential Areas for Lower Income Rezoning APN or Area1 Existing Use 1 Details for each individual parcel within each Area are contained in Tables B-14 and B-15. 2 Area of parcel to be rezoned for housing is an excess portion of existing surface parking. 3 Area of parcel to be rezoned for housing contains a single-story commercial building with two tenant spaces. One of the tenant spaces is vacant, and the other has had frequent tenant turnover, but is currently occupied by Party City. Source: City of Pleasanton, Alameda County Assessor, LWC The screening for potential sites considered these trends and utilized conservative assumptions in projecting units well below observed densities for residential and mixed-use projects. Lastly, the City is unaware of any leases that would perpetuate existing uses or prevent the development of housing on nonvacant sites during the planning period. During continued discussions with property owners and City Economic Development staff, no additional lease information was found to an impediment to housing development on identified sites. Furthermore, to encourage the redevelopment of nonvacant sites with higher-density residential uses, the City has multiple programs to provide financial assistance, incentives, and regulatory concessions to facilitate more intensive residential development. These include: • Program 1.3 – Lead a concept planning effort for the BART parcels and coordinate with BART to actively pursue development interest. Require a minimum of 75 units per acre on AB 2923-eligible parcels, consistent with BART Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Place Type: Neighborhood/Town Center. • Program 1.7 – Prepare and adopt plans for the Stoneridge Mall property and Kiewit area with housing densities consistent with the rezone assumptions and facilitate housing on all large lower income sites. • Program 1.6 – Outreach to property owners and businesses to identify specific incentives for business relocation and encourage properties to be developed with housing (e.g., transfer of development rights, transit alternatives, flexible parking standards, flexible standards to accommodate adaptive re-use, expedited processing, etc.). • Program 2.5 – Offer waivers or reductions of City fees for affordable housing units. • Program 1.5 – Actively assist owners of property zoned or designated to be rezoned for over 30 units per acre in soliciting lower and moderate-income housing proposals. Facilitate funding of site acquisition and project construction through various strategies (e.g., tax-exempt bonds, etc.).
