Exhibit A3 7 in excess of the amount of parking needed to serve the existing office building. Further evidence by the City having approved and expecting construction to begin on a similar high density project at the California Center office development, where the project is located on a surplus parking field within a larger office development. • Area 8: Muslim Community Center. Evidence through communication with representatives of the property owner, indicating affirmative interest in redeveloping the entire site with housing, and by the demand for office use having decreased over recent years as evidenced by increased office vacancy that supports potential redevelopment of this older single-story building. And, evidence from the successful redevelopment of sites in the nearby region owned by religious institutions with affordable housing including sites developed with single-family housing in 2020-2021; and elsewhere in the vicinity including Evangelical Free Church with single family homes (Pleasanton), St. Paul’s Commons apartments (Walnut Creek) and Goodness Village tiny homes (Livermore). • Area 9: Metro 580. Evidence through communication with the property owner, indicating affirmative interest in redeveloping a 5-acre portion of the 15.51 acre site with housing, and facts including currently vacant underutilized retail buildings and parking lot have faced high vacancy and turnover, including extended vacancy of a major tenant at 4555 Rosewood Drive (most recently a hardware store which has been closed since 2018); and for the most recent 5 year period (2017 to 2022), 12 of the 27 business licenses for stores and restaurants at this retail center have not been renewed. Further evidence in work by the City to develop a sample site plan for this site (among other select sites), to demonstrate the feasibility of developing the site at the proposed density (Attachment 3) while meeting the City’s development standards. • Area 12: Pimlico Drive: Evidence through communication with two of the three property owners indicating affirmative interest in developing high density housing at this location, and the relative degree of underutilization / low level of existing improvements that includes a rental car agency, used car sales lot, and car-wash.
