<br />Sites Inventory and Methodology City of Pleasanton | B-21 <br />Area 2 - Stoneridge Shopping Center <br />Location: 1008, 1300, 1400, 1500, <br />1600, & 1700 Stoneridge Mall Road <br />APN: 941 120109200, 941 120109500, <br />941 120109403, 941 120102800, 941 <br />120102900, 941 120103006 <br />General Plan Designation: <br />Retail/Highway/Service Commercial <br />Business and Professional Offices <br />Current Zoning Designation: Regional <br />Commercial District [C-R(m)] and <br />Planned Unit Development – Mixed Use <br />(PUD-MU) <br />Lot Size (or portion of property <br />proposed for development): 74.57 <br />acres, 18.00 acres would be developed with housing. <br />Estimated Potential Number of Housing Units: <br />Between 900 units (50 DUA) and 1,440 units (80 DUA) (note – this excludes the PUD-MU zoned areas <br />that allow an additional 400 units under existing zoning) <br />Background and Description: <br />The area within the loop created by Stoneridge Mall Road contains the Stoneridge Shopping Center. <br />The shopping center comprises a number of two-story retail buildings with one parking garage <br />(adjacent to the formerly Sears store); the remainder of the site is surface parking. It includes the <br />smaller-scale tenant spaces (managed by Simon Properties) and five anchor department stores: <br />JCPenney, two Macy’s stores, and two vacant tenants (formerly Sears and Nordstrom). Several <br />different owners control the land within the Shopping Center, with Simon Property Group the largest <br />single owner. The previous Housing Element designated two areas of the shopping center for high <br />density housing, in the southeast quadrant and northwest quadrant of the mall site. In year 2019, <br />Simon Property Group received Design Review approval for a significant commercial expansion on the <br />site of the former Sears retail space and parking structure, although construction of the project is <br />currently on hold. The City is also processing an application for a 360-unit residential project on one of <br />the sites designated for housing in the previous Housing Element. <br />Key Considerations and Feasibility for Site Development: <br />The site is within ¼ to ½ mile of the West Dublin/Pleasanton BART station, and a ¼ mile from the <br />freeway on ramp as well as within close proximity to a high concentration of office/employment uses. <br />The Stoneridge Shopping Center has approximately 40 acres of surface parking, not including the <br />area already designed for housing. Staff has identified that there are approximately 18 acres within the <br />current surface parking lots that could realistically develop with high density residential development, <br />given that replacement parking and commercial uses would also be integrated into these areas. <br />Several of the current owners at the Shopping Center have identified interest in the creation of a newly <br />envisioned center creating a dynamic new neighborhood to complement the existing and future mall <br />uses. Simon, the largest property owner, has participated in several other similar residential projects at <br />their malls nationwide. Considerations for future projects would include the requirement to relocate any <br />eliminated surface parking within new parking structures.
