<br />B-22 | City of Pleasanton Sites Inventory and Methodology <br /> <br />Nearby cities in the Tri-Valley area provide examples of residential development on nonvacant <br />sites in downtown or downtown-adjacent locations such as the site (APN 094 010401200) <br />identified in Pleasanton which is currently occupied by Inklings Coffee and Tea and nearby <br />surface parking. The cities of Dublin and Livermore provide examples of completed and in- <br />progress projects on similar sites. <br />The City of Livermore has a recent track record of developing housing on non-vacant sites with <br />existing uses and structures, including in and near downtown. There are two recent projects <br />where commercial retail and automotive uses previously existed. The Legacy Livermore (under <br />construction) project, located at 59 S L Street, in downtown Livermore is on a site formerly <br />occupied by an antique store, party-supply store, and a surface parking lot (see Table B-10). <br />The project is a mixed-use project with 222 units. Auburn Grove (recently completed <br />construction) at 3737 First Street is located on the site of a former car dealership and is walking <br />distance to the downtown. The project includes 100 units, including some low and moderate- <br />income units. <br />The City of Dublin has successfully approved numerous residential housing developments on <br />nonvacant sites, including many affordable units. In 2021 Avesta Senior Care Facility at 7601 <br />Amador Valley Blvd. was developed on the site of a former restaurant and created 35 units. <br />The Perch, finished in 2018 and located at 7144 Regional Street, is on the site of a former <br />single story irrigation equipment business and large surface parking lot. The Perch created 60 <br />market rate units near a major commercial center of Dublin. Also in this commercial center is <br />Aster, a 100 percent affordable development finished in 2017. Aster, located at 6775 Golden <br />Gate Drive, is on the site of a former autobody shop and created 313 units of affordable housing. <br />Near the Dublin BART station, Valor Crossing at 7500 Saint Patrick Way was finished in 2017 <br />on the site of a former surface parking lot and created 66 units, 65 of which are affordable. <br />Additional approved residential projects in nearby jurisdictions continue to demonstrate a trend <br />in the region toward residential redevelopment on nonvacant sites, similar to those identified <br />as housing sites in Pleasanton, and further support Pleasanton’s use of nonvacant sites in as <br />a way of meeting the City’s RHNA. <br />Other existing uses on nonvacant sites in Pleasanton include low intensity uses. Some <br />identified sites have existing residential units, but these are low intensity developed parcels <br />where additional units could be added without demolishing the existing units or where existing <br />residential units could be demolished for a project with a larger number of units. In September <br />2022, the 4884 Harrison Street project was approved on a site that contained an abandoned <br />and vacant single-family home, and the approved project will result in 46 new lower-income <br />rental units. However, identifying parcels with low intensity residential uses as potential housing <br />sites does not mean existing units will be demolished (e.g., some parcels can accommodate <br />additional units while retaining existing structures/units). In recent years, small infill projects at <br />4727 Harrison Street and 4745 Augustine Street constructed new apartments behind existing
