Stoneridge Mall Framework Meeting Summary Community Meeting Two, via Zoom December 8, 2022 o be shaded and provide a space for people to sit down and rest o mark a location through outdoor art or other placemaking—make the mall a place people want to take a selfie and it is apparent that they are in Pleasanton o provide protected and secured bicycle parking to promote bicycle use o could include a dog park and water features • Issues of safety &security—desire for"eyes on the street", ground floor uses, and good lighting throughout the site • Traffic around the mall, especially in nearby neighborhoods, is a concern, as is the traffic implication of adding just under 6,000 units(the Regional Housing Needs Allocation for the 61h Cycle Housing Element) • Parking is a concern as housing units and retail uses with greater parking demand is added to the site, parking garages should be considered, as well as continuing to provide convenient parking distributed around the mall • Concern about school district's ability to accommodate additional students given that some school sites are already impacted • Existing mall façade needs a facelift—more connection between interior and exterior of mall is desired o Outdoor dining would be a good point of connection to the mall o Need to create a focal point • Participants like the idea of a multiuse path, but are concerned about reducing traffic capacity and are concerned that there should be a dedicated bike path to avoid conflicts between bikes and pedestrians • Signage should not be exclusive to businesses in the mall, as it could also be good for advertising community events • Building shadows on public open spaces should be kept in mind • Support for grocery as a local serving use • Uses should be unique to Pleasanton with "cool factor" • Interest in indoor recreational uses for youth and adults, such as bowling, bocce, indoor rock climbing, or ice rink • Strong preference for housing concentrated around BART, however scattered development option has the benefit of spreading impact of more housing around the mall • Mall ownership must be involved in the process to designate housing areas • Desire for strong design guidelines that considers how will buildings connect and what will interfaces look like • Framework should be dynamic and drive demand for retail uses (which should be varied to attract patrons across multiple demographics) • Examples of model spaces: Bankhead Park in Livermore, Bishop Ranch in San Ramon, and Santana Row in San Jose 3
