Draft 2.0 Land Use Element <br />strixl: <br />Hacienda Business Park <br />This 854-acre business park was originally developed in the early 1980s when the first office and <br />commercial uses were built The original master~lan envisioned "a commercial development designed <br />to create a cohesive, visually unified business park with a sense of identity, distinction and duality" In <br />the early 1980s, development activity in Hacienda included primarily one- and two-story tilt-uy <br />construction "back office" buildings, and a few "Class A" corporate office buildings. The park also <br />acduired a new hotel development and a retail area at that time. <br />Housing was introduced in the late 1980s in the southern area of the paxk, and the weakening of the <br />commercial real-estate markets at that time led to the allocation of additional acreage fox small-lot <br />single-family homes and additional multifamily residential development. Today there are 1,530 <br />residential units in the park. <br />In 1996 the Dublin/Pleasanton BART line was opened with the terminus station located on the <br />northern edge of the Hacienda Business Park at the I-580 freeway. The mid-1990s also saw a <br />resurgence in the economy and a new period of development in the park which included corporations <br />such as Roche Shaklee, and PeopleSoft that acduired large vacant sites and sought approval of <br />projects designed for their long-term space needs In recent years, Hacienda has continued to evolve <br />with the addition of Pleasanton Unified School District's Hart Middle School and additional retail <br />development. <br />As of 2007, the park has over 7 9 million square feet of office, research and development, and other <br />commercial uses, and there is still significant development potential, particularly in the area close to the <br />Dublin/Pleasanton BART station. The future of the park as it moves towards more mixed-use <br />development integrated with the transit hub at the BART station is the subject of the Hacienda <br />Sbecific Plan currently underway. <br /> <br /> <br /> > > <br /> > > <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />LU element 082107 redline 2-1 1 <br />
