Memo to Pleasanton City Council and Planning Commission Supplemental Memo- Stoneridge Mall Framework December 15,2022 • A desire for the mall to have enhanced security,by means of lighting and the ability for people to easily view common spaces from residential units or other areas. • Enhance the exterior façade of the mall with the objectives of improving connection between the interior and exterior of the mall and improving pedestrian visibility into the mall. • Support for the concept of a multi-use path around Stoneridge Mall Road,with the caveat that it not significantly reduce vehicular traffic capacity and that it be designed to ensure safety and comfort for both pedestrians and bicyclists. • Land uses should be dynamic,diverse, and accommodate various demographics; support for focusing housing in close proximity to BART,although there was also support among some participants for distributing the housing around the mall properties to help distribute traffic and other impacts. • Mall ownership needs to be part of the process, particularly regarding allocation of housing units. • Concern about: • Traffic around the mall and traffic implications to nearby neighborhoods and across Pleasanton. • Providing adequate and convenient parking for housing units and non-residential uses. • The impact to schools and the ability of the school district to accommodate additional students.
