ATTACHMENT 4 Stoneridge Mall Framework Public Comments Provided for the Planning Commission meeting on January 11, 2023, and City Council meeting on January 26, 2023 Page 21 From: email@email.com Sent: Friday, December 16, 2022 12:23 PM To: Ellen Clark <eclark@cityofpleasantonca.gov>; shweta bonn; 'Emily Carroll'; 'Karla Brown'; jbalch925@email.com; Julie Testa; Valerie Arkin; Gerry Beaudin Cc: Brandon Pace; Ken Morgan Subject: Stoneridge Mall redevelopment I watched the Council/ Commission joint meeting of 12/15/22. When called upon to speak I was MUTED BY HOST. I tried several things to unmute but was not successful. I do not know about the two other people who were also unable to connect. Everyone on- entire Team- should be congratulated for making real good progress in such a short time. Your consultant is also impressive- which I do not say lightly. Most of my comments have already been stated but please allow me to add a few thoughts for the Conceptual Plan:: 1- Assuming there will be 1400 dwelling units you will need a minimum of 2100 parking spaces for them. I recommend that each living unit project have a multi story parking structure to minimize surface parking, provide vehicle security and minimize capturing of Mall surface parking spaces. 2- Each of the Public Open Space / Recreation area should be close to living units as well as Mall entrances with some recreation facilities and shielded by multi story buildings to protect from winds. 3- The entire 75 acre s should be surrounded by a wide path inside of Stoneridge Mall Rd, and be wide enough to accommodate walkers,. Bikers, and battery powered “ golf carts. “ 4- Privately owned and public battery powered golf carts should be encouraged. Residents will need carrying capacity for groceries and shopping bags that are two large for bicycles to carry. It is a long way from the south and east sides of property to BART. Time and weather will be a factor. A portion of each parking structure including BART can be set aside for cart parking. 5- Fees should be reduced wherever possible – Park Dedication fees should be waived entirely. 6- The 75 acres has four ( 4 ) very capable and experienced property owners. Collaboration and cooperation with them is obviously necessary. All parties want/ need to be Allies. 7- Thank You for your consideration and good luck on this exciting redevelopment / IMPROVEMENT project.
