<br />Sites Inventory and Methodology City of Pleasanton | B-25 <br /> Issuance of a developer RFQ/RFP and selection of a preferred project team (4-6 <br />months) <br /> Negotiation of agreements (ENA, ground lease or similar (1 year) <br /> Design development, financing and permitting (18 months) <br /> Construction (12-14 months) <br />The screening for potential sites considered thesethe above-described trends and utilized <br />conservative assumptions in projecting units well below observed densities for residential and <br />mixed-use projects. Lastly, the City is unaware of any leases that would perpetuate existing <br />uses or prevent the development of housing on nonvacant sites during the planning period. <br />During continued discussions with property owners and City Economic Development staff, no <br />additional lease information was found to an impediment to housing development on identified <br />sites. <br />Furthermore, to encourage the redevelopment of nonvacant sites with higher-density <br />residential uses, the City has multiple programs to provide financial assistance, incentives, and <br />regulatory concessions to facilitate more intensive residential development. These include: <br /> Program 1.3 – Lead a concept planning effort for the BART parcels and coordinate with <br />BART to actively pursue development interest. Require a minimum of 75 units per acre <br />on AB 2923-eligible parcels, consistent with BART Transit Oriented Development <br />(TOD) Place Type: Neighborhood/Town Center. <br /> Program 1.7 – Prepare and adopt plans for the Stoneridge Mall property and Kiewit <br />area with housing densities consistent with the rezone assumptions and facilitate <br />housing on all large lower income sites. <br /> Program 1.6 – Outreach to property owners and businesses to identify specific <br />incentives for business relocation and encourage properties to be developed with <br />housing (e.g., transfer of development rights, transit alternatives, flexible parking <br />standards, flexible standards to accommodate adaptive re-use, expedited processing, <br />etc.). <br /> Program 2.5 – Offer waivers or reductions of City fees for affordable housing units. <br /> Program 1.5 – Actively assist owners of property zoned or designated to be rezoned <br />for over 30 units per acre in soliciting lower and moderate-income housing proposals. <br />Facilitate funding of site acquisition and project construction through various strategies <br />(e.g., tax-exempt bonds, etc.). <br />As described above, many of the housing sites have underperforming commercial spaces <br />and/or low intensity uses which are anticipated to redevelop based on trends, market
