CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: March 16, 2026
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
TITLE: ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. ___ AMENDING THE COMPOSITION OF THE

CITY OF PLEASANT HILL CIVIC ACTION COMMISSION

SYNOPSIS
The City Council is requested to adopt the proposed resolution to amend Pleasant Hill Municipal Code Section 3.25.010, establishing the Civic Action Commission, allowing the composition of the commission to expand from nine to eleven members. The expansion would still require at least nine of the members be Pleasant Hill residents, with up to two members allowed to be businesspersons, with a business in Pleasant Hill, who are nonresidents or persons living outside the corporate limits but within the city’s sphere of influence.

DISCUSSION
Background
The ordinance was first introduced at the February 23, 2026, City Council meeting and has been returned for a second reading. The request for the amendment has been issued by the Civic Action Commission to give them additional members, which would allow them to continue to refine and expand upon programs and events designed to enrich the lives of the Pleasant Hill Community.

Analysis
The efforts by the commission to continually improve upon its programming, as well as add new and different programs, have necessitated, in the CAC’s view, an expansion to its membership.

Including two more members would enable the commission to continue to provide high quality programs and events for the community, while giving CAC members the resources required to continue to improve upon, expand, and add events.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct financial impact as a result of adopting the resolution.

PUBLIC CONTACT
Item 9.4

The agenda and staff report are posted on the City’s web page.

RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Adopt the proposed resolution to amend Pleasant Hill Municipal Code Section 3.25.010 to increase the composition of the Civic Action Commission from nine members to eleven.

ALTERNATIVES TO RECOMMENDED ACTION
The City Council could choose not to accept the resolution and provide direction to City staff and the Civic Action Commission.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: March 16, 2026
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
TITLE: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. __-26 DESIGNATING AUTHORIZED AGENTS

FOR DISASTER/EMERGENCY REIMBURSEMENT CLAIMS

SYNOPSIS
In order to receive relevant emergency/disaster reimbursements and grants, federal and state law requires the City Council to adopt a new resolution designating authorized agents to review and sign applications and forms for the funding every three years. Staff recommends the City Council rescind Resolution 25-23 and adopt the proposed resolution and State of Emergency Service Form 130.

DISCUSSION
Background
Under Federal Public Law 93-288 (as amended by the Robert T. Stafford Act) and California law under the California Disaster Assistance Act, the City must maintain a current record of designated authorized agents who can review and sign applications/forms on behalf of the City in order to receive relevant reimbursements and grants related to emergencies/disasters from applicable state and federal agencies. On April 3, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution 25-23 to designate authorized city employees to perform this function to receive funding due to the Coronavirus pandemic. The State Office of Emergency Services requires this be updated every three years.

Analysis
One of the requirements to receive federal funds for emergency/disaster reimbursements and grants is set forth in State Office of Emergency Services (“Cal OES”) Form 130, “Designation of Applicant’s Agent Resolution for Non-State Agencies.” The form was last approved by City Council on April 3, 2023, and needs to be updated every three years. Form 130 includes specific language to give the City the option to designate by name and title or position title only the agent to act on behalf of the City. Staff recommends using positions only in the resolution and the Form 130. These positions are the City Manager, Chief of Police, Public Works Director, Chief Finance Item 9.5
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 33 of 176 - Monday, March 16, 2026 Officer, and City Clerk. The recommended positions have high levels of responsibility and oversight in the City’s governing structure.

FISCAL IMPACT
The purpose of this recommended action is to authorize designated staff to act on behalf of the City to review and sign documentation in order to apply for reimbursements/grants for eligible costs related to emergencies/disasters.

PUBLIC CONTACT
Public Contact was made through posting of the City Council agenda on the City’s official notice bulletin board, at the Pleasant Hill Senior Center, and at the Pleasant Hill Police Department. The agenda and staff report are posted on the City’s web page.

RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Adopt a resolution to designate specific City staff positions under the “position title option” as authorized agents to review and sign applications/forms for emergency/disaster reimbursement claims and grants as required by the relevant State and/or Federal agencies, establish the completed Cal OES Form 130 as valid, and rescind Resolution 25-23.

ALTERNATIVES TO RECOMMENDED ACTION
Do not adopt the resolution.

Direct staff to include a different set of position titles to designate authorized agents on the resolution and Cal OES Form 130.

DATE: March 16, 2026
SUBJECT: Approve Letter of Support for AB 1708 (Solache) HHAP Pathways for Cities Act __________________________________________________________________________________________________ Assemblymember José Luis Solache has introduced AB 1708, the HHAP Pathways for Cities Act, which would create a new way for small and medium-sized cities, like Pleasant Hill, to access the state's Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention (HHAP) Grant Program.

In mid-February, Cal Cities issued a statewide “Action Alert” message to its members, including Pleasant Hill, urging letters of support for this Cal Cities-sponsored legislation that provides a consistent pathway for all cities to access state homelessness funding.

Most cities cannot access HHAP funding directly and cite inconsistent state funding as a major barrier to reducing homelessness. AB 1708 seeks to address these discrepancies, as noted in the letter of support.

Item 9.6

The Honorable José Luis Solache
California State Assembly
1020 N St. Rm. 5110
Sacramento, CA 95814
Re: Letter of Support for Assembly Bill 1708 (Solache)
Dear Assembly Member Solache,
On behalf of the City Council of the City of Pleasant Hill, I write in support of your legislation, AB 1708, which would create a new pathway for cities with populations under 300,000 to access state homelessness funding.

Since 2019, the state’s flagship homelessness grant program, the Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention (HHAP) Grant program, has provided direct funding to cities with populations over 300,000, all 58 counties, and the 44 Continuums of Care (CoC) across California.

This structure has left most cities without a consistent pathway to access HHAP funding, despite investing significant General Fund resources to prevent and reduce homelessness in their communities. AB 1708 would address this by creating a new opportunity for the 469 California cities with populations under 300,000 to apply for HHAP funding through their CoC.

Specifically, AB 1708 would require CoCs, before allocating funding to other subrecipients in their region, to accept applications for 30 days only from cities with populations under 300,000.

This measure would strike a reasonable balance between access and accountability, requiring interested cities to commit to regionally coordinated action plans and adhere to state housing and encampment policies.

AB 1708 would also require CoCs to prioritize applications from cities that have existing partnerships with non-profits, other cities, or have already leveraged state and local funding for existing projects in their communities. This would ensure that limited state resources are deployed efficiently and deliver measurable results in reducing homelessness.

As a city with a population of around 35,000, Pleasant Hill would benefit from additional funds for small to medium cities. Homelessness is consistently one of the top concerns of Pleasant Hill Item 9.6
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 49 of 176 - Monday, March 16, 2026 residents. Although we partner with Contra Costa County’s Coordinated Outreach, Referral, Engagement, or “CORE,” program to help address homelessness, additional funds are necesesary to combat addiction and offer supportive services for the unhoused community.

As the Governor and the Legislature consider future investments in the HHAP program, it is important to ensure the program is structured to maximize its reach and impact. Providing all cities with a pathway to participate in HHAP would strengthen regional collaboration and ensure state resources are deployed where they can most effectively serve unhoused Californians.

Local governments are best positioned to identify the programs and partnerships that will have the greatest impact in our communities. AB 1708 recognizes this, creating a clearly defined opportunity for all cities to compete for state resources, so that communities of all sizes can have a meaningful role in the state’s homelessness response efforts.

For these reasons, the City of Pleasant Hill is pleased to support AB 1708 (Solache).

SUBJECT: Approve letter of support for AB 1761 (Rogers) - Rate calculation methodology and data disclosure
Assemblymember Chris Rogers has proposed legislation, AB 1761, to support energy affordability through improved transparency and certainty around the calculation of the Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA), a charge found on nearly all energy bills. AB 1761 ensures that parties proposing any changes to the PCIA provide all the data that informs their proposals.

In 2021, the City of Pleasant Hill joined Marin Clean Energy (MCE) to offer residents and business additional energy choices and cleaner electricity options, and Councilmember Szakats serves as the City’s representative on the MCE Board. The PCIA directly affects Pleasant Hill’s MCE rate-paying customers. Greater transparency required under this legislation allows advocates and providers, like MCE, to better advocate for their customers and assess proposals seeking changes to the PCIA The letter of support for AB 1761 for the City Council’s consideration accompanies this memo.

Re: Letter of Support for Assembly Bill 1761 (Rogers)
Dear Chair Petrie-Norris:

On behalf of the City Council of the City of Pleasant Hill, I write to support AB 1761 proposed by Assemblymember Chris Rogers (D-Santa Rosa). The bill supports energy affordability through improved transparency and certainty around the calculation of the Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA), a charge found on nearly all energy bills. As a member of MCE, California’s first Community Choice Aggregator (CCA), the city of Pleasant Hill, its families, and its businesses can face significant bill increases – not necessarily because of increased energy consumption, but because of how the PCIA is calculated.

Electricity bills in California are on the rise, in part due to challenging market conditions and outdated and inefficient regulatory policies. Customers across Pleasant Hill are feeling the impact.

California needs practical, consumer-focused solutions that ensure customers are not overcharged.

Increasing transparency on how the PCIA is calculated will help keep this charge fair and accurate.

The PCIA is a fee intended to ensure customers who leave utility generation service, like CCA customers, pay their fair share of legacy power costs. It is calculated every year in proceedings at the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). However, since the PCIA was instituted, there has been no consistent standard for what data must be made available to parties participating in the rate proceedings that set the PCIA – even to CCAs whose customers it impacts.

Without adequate transparency, CCAs and consumer advocates are unable to verify the accuracy of the PCIA charges that their customers must pay and cannot confidently forecast rates – both of which protect customers in the city of Pleasant Hill from unexpected rate increases. AB 1761 addresses these problems by requiring that the CPUC and IOUs disclose all data used to calculate PCIA costs, including cost inputs, forecasting assumptions, and methodologies. The bill ensures that parties proposing in a proceeding to change the PCIA provide all the data that informs their proposal. Sensitive information would remain protected through Commission-approved Item 9.7
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 52 of 176 - Monday, March 16, 2026 nondisclosure agreements – a practice already used to protect sensitive information in other compliance areas.

Greater transparency allows advocates and CCAs, like Marin Clean Energy, to better advocate for their customers and assess proposals that would change the PCIA. It also can inform cost forecasts and enable CCAs to mitigate the effects of sudden rate swings on Pleasant Hill customers. It improves accuracy and regulatory efficiency, which helps all customers save money.

For these reasons, the city of Pleasant Hill strongly supports AB 1761, an important energy affordability tool, which will only strengthen confidence that customers pay their fair share – and not more. If you have any questions, please contact me at [email protected], or the city’s board representative to MCE, Councilmember Amanda Szakats at [email protected].

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: March 16, 2026
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
TITLE: ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. __ AMENDING CHAPTER 15.05,

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT AND DISCHARGE CONTROL, OF THE

CITY OF PLEASANT HILL MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADD A REQUIREMENT

FOR INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE OF DEVICES FOR THE

CAPTURE OF TRASH AND OTHER POLLUTANTS

SYNOPSIS
The San Francisco Bay Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit (MRP), originally adopted by the Regional Water Quality Control Board in 2009, establishes annual stormwater treatment requirements that must be met by cities, counties, and flood control districts across the San Francisco Bay Area. The MRP has been reissued twice since its inception, and each version has increased its regulatory compliance measures. Provision C.10 of the MRP requires Permittees (cities, counties, and flood management agencies) to implement control measures and actions that reduce trash discharges in stormwater to meet the permit’s discharge prohibitions and receiving water limitations for trash.

This ordinance, amending Chapter 15.05 of the Pleasant Hill Municipal Code (“PHMC”) was introduced at the City Council meeting of March 2, 2026. It is now ready for the second reading also known as the adoption.

To ensure full compliance with provision C.10 of the MRP3.0, staff requests that Council adopt this ordinance amending Chapter 15.05 (Stormwater Management and Discharge Control) of the PHMC, to add a requirement for installation and maintenance of devices for the capture of trash and other pollutants.

Should the ordinance be adopted, it will take effective 30 days later on April 15, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT
If the City does not take measurable action to achieve 100% trash capture, the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) may issue the City a Notice of Violation for not having Item 9.8
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 54 of 176 - Monday, March 16, 2026 sufficient legal authority to implement MRP provisions or for not meeting provision C.10 of MRP3.0. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in enforcement action by the Water Board, including a cease-and-desist order and fines of up to $10,000 per day.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLEASANT HILL AMENDING CHAPTER 15.05, STORMWATER MANAGEMENT AND DISCHARGE

CONTROL, OF THE PLEASANT HILL MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADD A REQUIREMENT

FOR INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE OF DEVICES TO CAPTURE TRASH, LITTER, OR OTHER POLLUTANTS FROM ENTERING THE CITY’S STORM DRAIN SYSTEM
WHEREAS, Chapter 15.05 of the Pleasant Hill Municipal Code (PHMC) was enacted to fulfill the City of Pleasant Hill’s (City’s) duties regarding stormwater management and discharge control in compliance with the City’s obligations under state and federal law and accompanying permits, specifically provision C.10 of the San Franciso Bay Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit (MRP); and
WHEREAS, in order to be in full compliance with provision C.10 of the MRP 3.0, it is necessary to amend Chapter 15.05 to include a provision requiring owners of private parking lots, streets, roads and drainage facilities to install and maintain devices or facilities to capture trash or other pollutants in order to keep such pollutants from entering the City’s stormwater system.

NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Pleasant Hill does ordain as follows:

Section 1. Chapter 15.05.020 of the PHMC is hereby amended to add a definition of “Litter” as follows:
“Litter shall mean, but is not limited to, plastic, paper, cigarette butts, floor sweepings, trash, rubbish, food, cloth, metal, recyclable materials, or waste matter of whatever character when not properly disposed of or managed.”
Section 2. Chapter 15.05.070(D) of the PHMC is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
“D. Parking lots, paved areas and related stormwater systems. A person owning, operating or maintaining a paved parking lot, the paved areas of a gasoline station, a paved private street or road, and related stormwater systems shall clean those premises as frequently and thoroughly as practicable in a manner that does not result in the discharge of trash, litter, or other pollutants to the city’s stormwater system. The Director may require installation and maintenance of devices or facilities to prevent the discharge of trash or other pollutants from private parking lots, streets, roads, and drainage facilities into the storm drain system. Failure or refusal to comply with such requirement is prohibited and shall constitute a violation of this chapter.” Section 3. This ordinance shall be effective 30 days after its adoption.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: March 16, 2026
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
TITLE: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. ___-26 ACCEPTING THE SUBDIVISION IMPROVEMENTS FOR SUBDIVISION 9520 (401 TAYLOR BOULEVARD)

AS COMPLETE

SYNOPSIS
CDP PH Holding LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company (Catalyst), and Shea Homes have constructed the improvements for Subdivision 9520 (401 Taylor Boulevard) in accordance with the terms of the Subdivision Agreement with the City. It is now appropriate for the City to accept these improvements as complete.

DISCUSSION
On August 16, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 57-21, approving Vesting Tentative Map (PLN 21-0028) for the 401 Taylor Boulevard II – Small-Lot Single Family Residential Major Subdivision (Tract 9520). The Major Subdivision created 31 new residential parcels within the

4.96-acre project site. The residential lots range in size from 3,105 square feet to 5,669 square feet with two-story, single-family detached homes, associated open space areas, and related landscaping and private site improvements. Six of the homes (20% of the subdivision) contain Accessory Dwelling Units. In addition to the residential parcels, the subdivision also created four common parcels that are owned and maintained by the homeowner’s association.

Catalyst entered into a Subdivision Improvement Agreement with the City of Pleasant Hill on August 11, 2022, for the construction of street and other subdivision improvements associated with Subdivision 9520. Public improvements were constructed along the project frontage at Lucille Lane and Taylor Boulevard. The public improvements included new sidewalk, curb, and gutter, paving and undergrounding of existing overhead utilities on Lucille Lane, along with new landscaping and an 8-foot-wide meandering asphalt walking path along Taylor Boulevard. Private improvements comprised new streets, sidewalks, utilities, landscaping, and storm drain improvements with stormwater treatment facilities.

Item 9.9
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 58 of 176 - Monday, March 16, 2026 Catalyst provided a Faithful Performance Bond and a Labor and Material Bond to guarantee construction of the improvements. On October 16, 2023, Catalyst notified the City that the remaining portions of the project had been sold to Shea Homes. As part of the acquisition agreement, Catalyst agreed to retain responsibility for the Faithful Performance Bond and the Labor and Material Bond covering both the onsite and offsite improvements.

The Subdivision improvements are now complete, and the developer is requesting the bonds for this work be released.

The work was originally secured with the following bonds:
 Faithful Performance & Labor and Material Bond #0810749 for on-site improvements in the amount of $1,531,233;
 Faithful Performance Bond & Labor and Material Bond #0810742 for off-site improvements in the amount of $1,180,344.

On February 14, 2024, the City allowed for a reduction of securities to the following amount:
 Faithful Performance & Labor and Material Bond #0810749 for on-site improvements in the amount of $500,000;
 Faithful Performance Bond & Labor and Material Bond #0810742 for off-site improvements in the amount of $500,000.

Prior to the release of the Faithful Performance Bonds, Catalyst will provide a Warranty Bond in the amount of $150,000, which is 15% of the total cost of the on-site and off-site improvements.

The warranty bond will be held for twelve months after acceptance of the improvements. The Labor and Material Bond will be released six months after the acceptance of the improvements.

The release of all improvement securities is in accordance with Pleasant Hill Municipal Code Section 17.35.070.D.

FISCAL IMPACT
The requested action has no impact to the City’s General Fund in annual maintenance costs, as all improvements and landscaping are maintained by the homeowners’ association. There will be an increase in property tax revenue because of the higher value of the housing development as compared to the previous land use conditions. The constructed private improvements (street, sidewalks, and landscaping) will be maintained by the abutting property owners or homeowners’ association.

ALTERNATIVES TO RECOMMENDED ACTION
None recommended. The City is required to accept the constructed improvements once the applicant complies with the terms of the Subdivision Agreement. The Warranty Bond ensures the constructed improvements will be guaranteed through the one-year maintenance and warranty period.

WHEREAS, the developer shall provide a Maintenance Bond in the amount of $406,736 to guarantee the on-site and off-site improvements for a one-year period; and WHEREAS, the Faithful Performance Bonds and the Labor and Material Bonds will be released in accordance with Pleasant Hill Municipal Code Section 17.35.070.D.

The City Council is requested to conduct a Study Session to invite public input and to provide direction to Staff regarding potential additional General Plan Amendments beyond what was recently completed as part of General Plan 2040. This Study Session is a follow up from the November 17, 2025 City Council hearing at which the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 978 amending the City’s Municipal Code Title 18 (Planning and Land Use) in its entirety and amending the Zoning Map to include the rezoning of 1,072 parcels throughout the city for consistency with the 2040 General Plan and 2023-2031 Housing Element.

DISCUSSION
Background
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance Update and Associated Rezonings: On November 17, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 978 amending the City’s Municipal Code Title 18 (Planning and Land Use) in its entirety and amending the Zoning Map to include the rezoning of 1,072 parcels throughout the city for consistency with the 2040 General Plan and 2023-2031 Housing Element. At that meeting, the City Council directed staff to provide an opportunity within the first six months of 2026 for additional discussion on potential additional General Plan Amendments. This Study Session is in response to that request.

General Plan: The City adopted the 2040 General Plan (“General Plan”) on May 18, 2023. The General Plan is a long-range planning document that guides decision making and establishes rules and standards for future development and improvements citywide. The 2040 General Plan establishes the following Guiding Principles:
• Encourage Smart and Sensitive Development
• Foster Economic Diversity and Sustainability
• Barrier Free Mobility
• Balanced Growth
• Ensuring Public Safety
• Support Diverse Housing Options
Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 81 of 176 - Monday, March 16, 2026 The General Plan included several implementation programs, which outlined necessary amendments to the City’s Zoning Ordinance.

Housing Element: The City also adopted the 6th Cycle Housing Element for 2023-2031 on May 18, 2023 (certified by the State on November 22, 2023). Like the General Plan, the Housing Element also included several implementation programs that outlined requisite amendments to the City’s Zoning Ordinance.

Multi-Family and Mixed-Use Zoning Ordinance Update: On January 8, 2024, the Pleasant Hill City Council adopted Ordinance No. 967 approving the rezoning of Housing Opportunity Sites identified in the 2023-2031 Housing Element, as well as Zoning Ordinance amendments to residential land use and development standards (Chapter 18.20), and introduced new mixed-use district standards (Chapter 18.22), as well as related changes to other sections of the Ordinance.

Analysis
At the November 17, 2025 City Council Meeting, the City received many public comments expressing concerns with the rezoning of several areas throughout the City. The areas of concern identified in those public comments are summarized below, with additional context provided from the 2040 General Plan (also see Attachment D 2022 GPAC Preferred Alternative Memo).

Mixed Use Zoning District along Contra Costa Boulevard: General Plan Focus Area 5 The first area is along Contra Costa Boulevard,
generally between Harriet Drive to the north
and Anelda Drive to the south and
encompassing the Sherman Acres West
neighborhood to the east of Contra Costa
Boulevard (E. Vivian Drive) and the properties
along Linda Drive and Shirley Drive. These
properties were redesignated from a SingleFamily designation to a Mixed-Use designation (medium-purple color on map), as part of the
2040 General Plan and rezoned to the
corresponding Mixed-Use zoning district in
November 2025. The General Plan states the
following goal for this area:
“The 2040 General Plan envisions
transforming Contra Costa Boulevard into a
contemporary transit oriented corridor focused
on multi-modal opportunities and denser
development. In an effort to reduce
incompatibility between development types, all
single-family residential areas in this focus
area will be re-designated to Mixed-Use to
Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 82 of 176 - Monday, March 16, 2026 create consistency of development patterns. This shift in the fabric of Pleasant Hill from single-family to mixed-use will take decades to come to fruition and will require significant parcel consolidation.”
A majority of the public comments received as part of the rezoning effort were concerned with the rezoning of the single-family neighborhood surrounding E. Vivian Drive (east of Contra Costa Boulevard), and the single-family properties along Shirley Drive whose rear yards abut Contra Costa Boulevard. The concerns primarily focused on the potential impact of introducing commercial uses and higher residential densities within existing single-family neighborhoods.

Mixed-Use Neighborhood Zoning District along Gregory Lane: General Plan Focus Area 6 The second and third areas are along Gregory Lane, specifically the properties at the south end of Maureen Lane and the north side of Julian Way, all which abut Gregory Lane.

These properties were redesignated from a Single-Family designation to Mixed Use Neighborhood designation (light purple color on map below), along with adjacent properties fronting Gregory Lane (generally between the Contra Costa Canal Trail east of Pleasant Hill Road and Pleasant Hill Park to the east), as part of the 2040 General Plan, and rezoned to the corresponding Mixed-Use Neighborhood Business zoning district in November 2025.

Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 83 of 176 - Monday, March 16, 2026 The General Plan states the following Goal for this area (areas highlighted for discussion):
“The 2040 General Plan envisions transforming Gregory Lane into a neighborhood mixed-use corridor anchored by higher intensity development at the intersection of Pleasant Hill Road to the west and Downtown/Contra Costa Boulevard to the east. In an effort to reduce incompatibility between development types, all single-family residential areas in this focus area will be reassigned with the lower intensity Neighborhood Mixed-Use land use designation to create consistency between development patterns.”
The majority of public comments
received focused on the
redevelopment of these areas with
commercial and/or higher density
residential uses and potential
impacts to existing neighborhoods
that share access from the same
neighborhood-serving streets. In
response, the City Council added
new, clarifying language to the
City’s development standards for
Mixed-Use Zoning Districts
(18.20.040.P) to restrict access for
new developments from internal,
neighborhood serving streets:

P. Access. Any development proposal (excluding single family residential development) submitted after December 17, 2025, for any parcel with a Mixed Use zoning designation abutting Contra Costa Boulevard, Gregory Lane or Oak Park Boulevard shall provide exclusive vehicular and service access from these same streets.

Cleaveland Road and Beatrice Road
The final area of focus is along Cleaveland Boulevard, which abuts the single-family neighborhood to the east along Beatrice Road. The previously applicable Planned Unit Development zoning district (PUD 410) applied to the west side of Cleaveland Road, north of Astrid Drive and atypically included properties with different General Plan land use designations.

Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 84 of 176 - Monday, March 16, 2026 By law, zoning and general plan designations must be aligned, so City staff sought to rectify the inconsistency through the rezoning process. In November, the properties within PUD 410 were rezoned so that each property’s zoning designation aligned with its applicable overarching General Plan land use designation. Staff further notes that the General Plan land use designations for these properties have remained unchanged for over 35 years.

Further, regarding the implications for future development, PUD 410 was considered a “shell” PUD, meaning it contained no specific land use or development standards. Therefore, future development in this area would be subject to the standards within the zoning district aligned with the overarching General Plan land use designation. Accordingly, rezoning these properties made no change to the already applicable development provisions, such as height, density, setbacks, etc.

A majority of the public comments expressed concerns with the existing Multi-Family designation for this area, most specifically for the existing single-family homes along the east end of Beatrice Road and the three large vacant properties between Beatrice Road and Cleaveland Road, two of which are owned by the Contra Costa County Flood Control District. The concerns were related to the potential impacts of higher density residential development adjacent to existing singlefamily neighborhoods and potential flood impacts associated with such developments.

Discussion Items
Staff has identified four areas to discuss; however, the discussion is not limited to only these areas.

The City Council may identify other areas for staff the to explore for potential General Plan Amendment. City Council direction can include specific areas of focus, potential changes to General Plan Land Use Designations, or no changes to the General Plan. Thus, to assist in next steps, staff requests City Council’s feedback and direction.

Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 85 of 176 - Monday, March 16, 2026

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this Study Session. Potential fiscal impact for future General Plan amendments will be evaluated once direction is provided to Staff.

PUBLIC CONTACT
Public Contact was made through posting of the City Council agenda on the City’s official notice bulletin board, at the Pleasant Hill Senior Center, and at the Pleasant Hill Police Department. In addition, a notice of this public hearing was published twice in the Contra Costa Times Newspaper on February 16, 2026, and March 2, 2026. Further, notification was provided on the City’s electronic sign, A-Frames at the Police Station and Pleasant Hill Library, respectively, and notices of the meeting have also been posted on both the front page of the City’s website (www.phillca.gov) and on the project website (www.phillca.gov/2026gpstudy). Additionally, public notices were mailed to all property owners and current residents within 500 feet of all properties rezoned under Ordinance No. 978 for a total of 6,895 notices. Finally, the agenda and staff report were posted on the City’s website.

RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
No formal action is required, though staff recommends that the City Council provide feedback to regarding any potential additional General Plan Amendments and/or zoning changes beyond what was approved in May 2023, as part of the adoption of General Plan 2040, and November 2025, as part of the rezoning process, respectively.

NEXT STEPS
Staff and the Consultant will analyze all feedback received from public comments and direction provided by the City Council to determine potential implications and next steps. Depending on the direction received, Staff will bring the analysis back to the City Council for review at another Study Session if necessary.

Adopted May 2023 Pleasant Hill 2040 General Plan 3-31
Focus Area 5 | Contra Costa Boulevard
The Contra Costa Boulevard area is located in central Pleasant Hill, serving as one of the primary roadway arterials in the City running parallel to Interstate 680. This area includes a mix of single-family residential, office, space, mixed-use development, and both strip and regional commercial. This area like other focus areas in the city faces challenges from compatibility of uses, specifically the existing single-family residential uses that are adjacent to the boulevard.

The 2040 General Plan envisions transforming Contra Costa Boulevard into a contemporary transitoriented corridor focused on multi-modal opportunities and denser development. In an effort to reduce incompatibility between development types, all single-family residential areas in this focus area will be re-designated to Mixed-Use to create consistency of development patterns. This shift in the fabric of Pleasant Hill from single-family to mixed-use will take decades to come to fruition and will require significant parcel consolidation.

The goal of transforming Contra Costa Boulevard is to create a lively, active environment, that is uniquely Pleasant Hill. The intent is to ensure high-quality projects and urban design characteristics as well as the integration of expanded pedestrian and bicycle facilities. To further create an energized corridor, the General Plan envisions the expanded allowance of creative outdoor spaces for the public as part of private developments. Additional opportunities for streetscape enhancements, outdoor dining, paseos connecting developments, and community gathering spaces will create a new and innovative neighborhood for the City. All new development proposed within the Contra Costa Boulevard focus area is subject to the policies in this section, as well as other relevant sections of the General Plan.

LU-6.25 Transit-Oriented Development
Encourage the design and development of transit-oriented developments along Contra Costa Boulevard to support future transportation system enhancements.

LU-6.26 Strip Commercial
Support compact commercial development by discouraging new “strip” center development patterns along Contra Costa Boulevard. Strip centers are characterized by low-density commercial frontage with parking in front of the building and multiple access driveways.

LU-6.27 Pedestrian Oriented Development
Support the transformation of existing auto-oriented and strip commercial uses into attractive pedestrian-oriented developments that enhance the visual character and interest of the boulevard.

LU-6.28 Parcel Consolidation
Support parcel consolidation in the East Vivian Neighborhood to stimulate future mixed-use development.

LU-6.29 Limit Driveways and Curb Cuts
Support limiting new driveways and curb cuts and encourage consolidating existing driveways and curb cuts as Contra Costa Boulevard redevelops.

LU-6.30 Street Activation
Encourage active street fronts to create vibrant spaces for the community to congregate, including paseos, courtyards, expanded outdoor dining, expanded sidewalks, and enhanced landscaping.

LU-6.31 Increased Residential Development
Support increased residential development along Contra Costa Boulevard in the form of either vertical or horizontal mixed-use projects.

LU-6.32 Commercial Use Design
Support the design of commercial uses on Contra Costa Boulevard that relate to, and reflect uses adjacent to and behind, those uses, with careful attention to design themes common to specific blocks along the boulevard.

LU-6.33 Mixed-Use Compatibility
Ensure that development of the mixed-use parcels on the west side of Contra Costa Boulevard considers the interface with the lower-density parcels to the west of Shirley Drive. The mixed-use area shall be connected to- not walled off from -, the lowerdensity residential area, but designed in a way that reduces conflict and promotes compatibility between uses.

Focus Area 6 | Gregory Lane
The Gregory Lane area is located in central Pleasant Hill, connecting Contra Costa Boulevard and Pleasant Hill Road. This area includes a diverse mix of uses from institutional, office, neighborhood business, multi-family, and single-family residential. Gregory Lane is heavily traveled connecting Downtown and Interstate 680, to City Hall, and the more traditional single-family residential areas of the City. Accordingly, in 2020, the City made upgrades to the roadway to slow traffic and implement additional safety measures to ensure a safer environment for all types of travelers. Similar to Contra Costa Boulevard, single-family residential uses abut and take access directly from Gregory Lane leading to incompatibility pressures and conflicts along the heavily travelled roadway.

The 2040 General Plan envisions transforming Gregory Lane into a neighborhood mixed-use corridor anchored by higher intensity development at the intersection of Pleasant Hill Road to the west and Downtown/Contra Costa Boulevard to the east. In an effort to reduce incompatibility between development types, all single-family residential areas in this focus area will be reassigned with the lower intensity Neighborhood Mixed-Use land use designation to create consistency between development patterns. This shift in the fabric of Pleasant Hill from single-family to mixed-use will take decades to come to fruition and will require significant parcel consolidation. All new development proposed within the Gregory Lane focus area is subject to the policies in this section, as well as other relevant sections of the General Plan.

LU-6.34 Transform Gregory Lane
Support the transformation of Gregory Lane into an attractive streetscape that includes neighborhood-serving mixed-use developments with active frontages facing the street, wider sidewalks, expanded bicycle lanes, and consistent landscaping.

LU-6.35 Parcel Consolidation
Support parcel consolidation along Gregory Lane, between Pleasant Hill Road and Contra Costa Boulevard to stimulate future neighborhood-serving mixed-use development.

LU-6.36 Parking Management Considerations
Support alternative parking management techniques and development standards for new development on Gregory Lane.

LU-6.37 Pedestrian Friendly Design
Encourage the expansion of Gregory Lane pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure to create a friendlier multi-modal environment that increases overall safety.

LU-6.38 Neighborhood-Serving Mixed-Use
Encourage the development of Gregory Lane to attract low-intensity neighborhoodserving mixed-use development.

LU-6.39 Development Compatibility
Require Gregory Lane mixed-use projects to apply design and development techniques to ensure a seamless transition to adjacent low-density residential.

This memo provides an overview of GPAC direction through both the Focus Area and Housing Opportunity Sites processes, followed by a summary comparison of buildout potential between the Existing General Plan Land Use diagram and the GPAC-Preferred Land Use diagram.

Introduction
On February 5, 2020, the GPAC met to discuss the results of the community feedback received from the Planning and Design Workshops and online engagement. This meeting was a follow-up to the November 19, 2019, GPAC Meeting where the members were briefed on initial feedback from the Workshops earlier in November and where the General Plan Vision Statement and Guiding Principles were finalized.

Following the discussion on community feedback, the Consultant team provided the GPAC with an overview of nine Focus Areas and the changes recommended by the community to each area. The GPAC analyzed each Focus Area and had a robust discussion on what changes, if any, should occur, before finalizing a GPAC-Preferred Land Use Alternative consisting of preferred land uses within the final Focus Areas. Figure 1 shows GPAC Focus Areas.

In May 2021, the GPAC began working with staff and the Consultant team to revisit the 2020 GPAC-Preferred Land Use Alternative as part of the Housing Element Update process. At meetings on May 12, 2021 and June 23, 2021, the GPAC reviewed and discussed potential sites for higher density residential land uses, some of which overlap the GPAC Focus Areas. On November 17, 2021, the GPAC recommended that staff carry forward nine Housing Element Opportunity Sites for consideration in conjunction with the changes proposed through the GPAC Focus Areas. The text box on the following pages illustrates the GPAC-Preferred Land Use Process.

In January 2022, the Consultant Team prepared a GPAC Preferred Alternative Memo that summarized GPAC recommendations on both the Focus Areas and Housing Element Opportunity Sites. On January 26, 2022 the GPAC met to discuss the GPAC Preferred Alternative Memo, receive and consider public input, and provide a final recommendation for each Focus Area.

Focus Area 1: Diablo Valley College (DVC)
Location: East of Contra Costa Boulevard along Golf Club Drive The GPAC discussed the area surrounding Diablo Valley College and the potential for land use changes. This focus area is primarily built out, except for a portion an existing shopping center and large empty surface lots across Golf Club Road from DVC. The existing shopping center (Diablo Valley Plaza) has been experiencing development, with a portion of the site currently undergoing redevelopment with new commercial tenants. The remaining vacant lots are owned by DVC and are used for overflow parking. The lots are currently not slated for development. Several public comments focused on the potential for student housing. Currently the demand for student housing is not high enough to change land uses surrounding the college to support it. The GPAC discussed the reality that the cost of rental housing is so high, it is likely that students would not be able to afford to live in the housing adjacent to the campus. If housing is desired surrounding the campus, the GPAC believes that process would have to be led by DVC.

The GPAC was open to developing goals
and policies for this Focus Area that
would encourage the restoration of
the creek corridor, potentially opening
access to the creek from adjacent
commercial businesses. The goal would
be to expand the walking trail, add bike
lanes, and more walkable amenities.
2020 GPAC Direction for Focus Area 1:

In 2020, the GPAC recommended to
leave Focus Area 1 as is. No changes
were proposed to General Plan land use
designations in this Focus Area.
2021 GPAC Modifications:

In 2021, the GPAC selected the DVC
overflow parking lot on the northwest
corner of the Focus Area as a Housing
Element Opportunity Site with a GPACPreferred land use designation of Mixed Use Very High Density. This designation
allows for density of 70‑100 dwelling
units per acre (du/ac), and is
shown on Figure 2. For more information
on this, please see page 22.
2022 GPAC Modifications:

No additional modifications
recommended.

Location: Intersection of Pleasant Hill Road and Taylor Boulevard The GPAC discussed the overall vision for Focus Area 2 which includes the Mangini-Delu property. Public input received for this focus area was mixed with approximately half requesting the property to remain as open space with a farm, while the other half requested the property be developed with more housing for the community. The GPAC noted that the land is presently already designated for Single-Family Medium Density residential, with an underlying R-10 zoning designation.

Members were in favor of keeping the property residential but were open to increasing the allowable density from SingleFamily Medium to Single-Family High on the two parcels adjacent to the Parks and Recreation Facility at the intersection (the Winslow Center) and allowing Multi-Family Low along Pleasant Hill Road. This would provide a feathering of density, lessening the impact to adjacent single-family residential on Apollo Way. The GPAC was in favor of creating specific goals and policies for this area that served to protect the creek and encourage the clustering of housing in order to preserve as much of the existing open space as possible if and when the property owner decides to develop the land. 2020 GPAC Direction for Focus Area 2:

In 2020, the GPAC recommended a
slight increase in density in the area by
re-designating the parcels along Taylor
Boulevard and Pleasant Hill Road to SingleFamily High Density and Multi-Family Low, while maintain Single-Family Medium
Density on parcels adjacent to Apollo Way.
2021 GPAC Modifications:

In 2021, the Focus Area (specifically the
Mangini site) was selected as a Housing
Element Opportunity Site by the GPAC.

The GPAC also recommended additional
changes, resulting in the application of a
single designation for those parcels along
Taylor Boulevard and Pleasant Hill Road,
but requiring a cohesive plan for the area
that would commit to accommodating the
construction of 210 units.
2022 GPAC Modifications:

In 2022, the GPAC recommended that
the entire Focus Area be designated
with a single land use designation that
allows a range in densities appropriate
to accommodate the 210 unit goal. With
an allowable density range of 4.6 to 13.0
dwelling units per acre, and an assumed
realistic density of 9 units per acre, the area
can be assumed to accommodate 210 units.

These changes are reflected on Figure 3.

Location: Retail centers adjacent to Contra Costa Boulevard and along Crescent Drive north of Boyd Road and south of Woodsworth Lane
The existing General Plan designation in Downtown Pleasant Hill is Mixed Use. Most public comment for this Focus Area was primarily centered on adding the ability to include housing above existing retail, which has the potential to energize the Downtown and bring in additional foot traffic. The GPAC discussed that because this area is already designated Mixed Use per the existing General Plan, it currently allows housing and the broadest range of commercial uses, including office uses.

The GPAC was open to developing goals and policies for this Focus Area that would encourage a more walkable environment through enhanced pedestrian connections between businesses along Crescent Drive and adjacent retail centers. The GPAC was also open to considering potential policy that encourages the establishment of civic uses such as a City Arts Center which could encourage more businesses to relocate downtown.
2020 GPAC Direction for Focus Area 3:

The GPAC recommended that Pleasant Hill Plaza (marked on the map below) be added to the Downtown Focus Area, but ultimately decided to leave the Focus Area unchanged, as no revisions were proposed to General Plan land use designations. 2021 GPAC Modifications:

The GPAC did not suggest any further modifications.
2022 GPAC Modifications:

In 2022, the GPAC recommended that the Focus Area be expanded to include the retail parcels on the southeast corner of the intersection of Contra Costa Boulevard and Gregory Lane. The intent of this change was to tie together the retail centers that anchor the intersection and expand the Downtown boundary. This change is reflected on the images below.

Focus Area 4: Industrial Area off Hookston Road
Location: Adjacent to Estand Way and Vincent Road off Hookston Road The existing General Plan designation for Focus Area 4 is Light Industrial. All GPAC members recognized that this is the only remaining area in Pleasant Hill with such a designation, and that the designation should be preserved with only minor modifications to allowable uses. GPAC members generally agreed upon that allowing for increased diversity of uses will allow the area to flourish, as well as potentially encouraging more amenities for workers in the area. It was noted that for this area to compete for more tech and incubator uses, the infrastructure must be improved, as this is believed to be one of the largest impediments to relocation for tech, biotech, and incubator businesses. Public comment for this focus area echoed the same sentiments by the GPAC. The public felt that the City should preserve areas in the City for non-retail or service jobs and that allowing for light manufacturing is vital to the local economy and job diversity. 2020 GPAC Direction for Focus Area 4:

The GPAC recommended to leave Focus Area 4 as is. No changes were proposed to General Plan land use designations. In lieu of land use changes, the GPAC recommended modifications to the land use definition for Light Industrial to allow for more flexible uses including, but not limited to, restaurants, research and development facilities, and biotech. 2021 GPAC Modifications:

The GPAC did not suggest any further modifications.
2022 GPAC Modifications:

Location: Contra Costa Boulevard between Boyd Road and Taylor Boulevard The GPAC discussed the overall vision for Focus Area 5, which includes a majority of Contra Costa Boulevard, the primary north-south arterial through the City. Currently the street is primarily commercial and retail uses, with occasional pockets of single-family residential. The GPAC noted that the corridor presently allows a mix of uses including commercial and residential uses. Members were in favor of retaining this area for a mix of uses and were open to re-designating properties that are currently not Mixed Use. Most of these parcels are located adjacent to, or fronting upon the street. One area the GPAC is considering re-designating is the East Vivian residential neighborhood. This neighborhood is currently designated Single-Family High Density and has several properties that back up to Contra Costa Boulevard. The GPAC envisioned that this area would be prime for increased mixed-use development in the long-term given its proximity to both Contra Costa Boulevard and Interstate 680.

Public comment on this focus area included the concern of re-designating the East Vivian neighborhood, since many felt mixed use might be too intense for the area and that the change could be too drastic in the short-term. One suggestion was to allow mixed use but limit the height of buildings to reduce compatibility impacts. The General Plan currently notes that mixed use projects are subject to review under Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning districts that currently limits project sizes to a minimum of one acre for commercial projects and two acres for residential projects. This should be carried forward and will require future parcel consolidation which is unlikely to occur over the next 20 years. 2020 GPAC Direction for Focus Area 5:

In 2020, the GPAC recommended maintaining Focus Area 5 as Mixed Use. Recommended changes include re-designating
the southern half of the East Vivian neighborhood extending from Dawn Avenue to Anelda Drive from Single- Family High Density to Mixed Use, and re- designating the Commercial and Retail area at the corner of Ellinwood Drive and Contra Costa Boulevard to Mixed Use to create consistency among all parcels that front the Boulevard.
2021 GPAC Modifications:

In 2021 the GPAC chose three areas within the Contra Costa Boulevard Focus Area as Housing Element Opportunity Sites.

The GPAC recommended Mixed Use High Density for these
parcels, which are shown on Figure 4 on the following page.

This revised designation allows for a density of 40-70 du/ ac. For more information, please see the Housing Element Opportunity Sites discussion beginning on page 21.
2022 GPAC Modifications:

In 2022, the GPAC recommended that the Focus Area be
expanded to include the strip of uses along Shirley Drive, just west of Contra Costa Boulevard. Additionally the GPAC recommended that the single family uses in the Focus Area be redesignated to Mixed Use. The intent of this change was to begin the transition of planning for less single-family residential along Contra Costa Boulevard with a greater emphasis on mixed-use and transit-oriented development.

The GPAC felt redesignating the parcels between Shirley Drive and Contra Costa Boulevard was consistent with the redesignating of parcels between Peggy Drive and Contra Costa Boulevard. These changes are reflected in Figure 4.

Location: Gregory Lane between Contra Costa Boulevard and Pleasant Hill Road Focus Area 6 which is centered on Gregory Lane was developed out of the Planning and Design Workshops to primarily focus on mobility improvements for pedestrians and cyclists. The GPAC discussed opportunities to slow traffic and incorporate potential bicycle lanes and wider sidewalks, which can be achieved through the creation of goals and policies that direct transportation and safety upgrades to this corridor. It was noted that to slow the speed and increase pedestrian crossing safety, the City has recently installed a street signal at the intersection of Elinora and Gregory. Public comment was in support of the GPAC direction and favored the potential addition of bike lanes along Gregory Lane. 2020 GPAC Direction for Focus Area 6:

In 2020, the GPAC recommended to leave Focus Area 6 as is. No changes were proposed to General Plan land use designations in this Focus Area. In lieu of land use changes, the GPAC recommended complete street upgrades for a safer environment for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists.
2021 GPAC Modifications: In 2021, parcels at the corner of Pleasant Hill Road and Gregory Lane were recommended for additional density as Mixed Use High Density through the Housing Element Opportunity Site process. This revised designation allows for a density of 40-70du/ac. For more information, please see page 31. 2022 GPAC Modifications:

In 2022, the GPAC recommended that all the parcels at the intersection of Pleasant Hill Road and Gregory Lane be redesignated Mixed Use High Density. Additionally, the GPAC recommended that the single-family uses parcels within the Focus Area be redesignated Mixed Use Neighborhood. Similar to changes along Contra Costa Boulevard, the GPAC felt that Gregory Lane was a similar heavily traveled corridor and that in the long term this area would be best served by mixed-use and transit-oriented development rather than single-family residential. These changes are reflected in Figure 5.

Location: Taylor Boulevard between Contra Costa Boulevard and the City Limits of Lafayette Similar to Focus Area 6 (Gregory Lane), Focus Area 7 which is centered on Taylor Boulevard was developed out of the Planning and Design Workshops to primarily focus on mobility and safety improvements. The GPAC discussed that Taylor Boulevard is meant to serve as a critical vehicular corridor and opportunities to widen or add bike lanes are not feasible based on the topography and traffic speeds. The GPAC was interested in creating new policies that would encourage safer pedestrian crossings at existing intersections such as Pleasant Hill Road and Grayson Road. 2020 GPAC Direction for Focus Area 7: The GPAC recommended to leave Focus Area 7 as is. No changes were proposed to General Plan land use designations in this Focus Area. In lieu of land use changes, the GPAC recommended policies and programs that focus on expanding pedestrian crossings to enhance safety. 2021 GPAC Modifications:

The GPAC did not suggest any further modifications.

Focus Area 8: Oak Park Boulevard
Location: Oak Park Boulevard between Patterson Boulevard and North Main Street Similar to Focus Areas 6 and 7 (Gregory Lane and Taylor Boulevard), Focus Area 8 which is centered on Oak Park Boulevard was developed out of the Planning and Design Workshops to primarily focus on mobility and safety improvements. The GPAC discussed that Oak Park Boulevard is currently a heavily traveled corridor that tends to experience increased congestion due to narrow lanes and several popular businesses that front the street. These businesses regularly have overflow parking which creates traffic and parking management issues. The GPAC recognized that in order to improve this area the General Plan should include new goals and policies that are directly focused on improving traffic flow, circulation, and parking demand.

This could include an eventual widening of the corridor. Further, to help lessen compatibility issues between existing singlefamily homes and adjacent commercial uses, the GPAC recommended re-designating parcels on the south side of Oak Park Boulevard east of the intersection of Patterson Boulevard to a new Mixed-Use Neighborhood Designation. 2020 GPAC Direction for Focus Area 8: The GPAC recommended to re-designate properties that are currently SingleFamily High Density on the south side of Oak Park Boulevard east of the intersection of Oak Park Boulevard and Patterson Boulevard. These properties would be re-designated to a new General Plan designation called Mixed Use Neighborhood which would allow a maximum of 20 du/ac and the incorporation of both commercial and office uses. 2021 GPAC Modifications:

The GPAC did not suggest any further modifications.
2022 GPAC Modifications:

In 2022, the GPAC recommended that the Focus Area be expanded to include four additional parcels near of Patterson Boulevard and Oak Park Boulevard. Additionally, the GPAC recommended that all commercial and neighborhood business designated parcels be re-designed to Mixed Use Neighborhood to allow for mixed use residential projects in the future. 2022 GPAC Modifications:

No additional modifications recommended.

Location: Corner of Contra Costa Boulevard and Gregory Lane adjacent to Interstate 680 Originally Focus Area 9, the Pleasant Hill Plaza Focus Area was developed out of the Planning and Design Workshops to primarily focus on potential improvements to existing shopping and retail centers on Contra Costa Boulevard. The GPAC recognized that this site does not necessarily require any land use changes and should be consolidated into adjacent focus areas (e.g. Focus Area 3: Downtown Pleasant Hill) that emphasize retail center enhancements and overall connectivity and walkability. The public did not have any additional comments for this area. 2020 GPAC Direction for Pleasant Hill Plaza: in 2020,The GPAC recommended that Pleasant Hill Plaza be merged with Focus Area 3 (Downtown Pleasant Hill). No changes to General Plan land use designations were proposed in this area. See page 8 for details on the combined Focus Area.

Focus Area 9: Monument Boulevard
Location: Oak Park Boulevard between Patterson Boulevard and North Main Street The Monument Boulevard Focus Area includes a series of parcels located at the corner of Monument Boulevard at the intersection of Lisa Lane. This area currently includes a medical business park, gas station, vehicle sales lot, and mobile home park. The GPAC was in favor of re-designating this area from Commercial and Retail to Mixed-Use to encourage additional retail, office, and housing development. The GPAC also recognized that this area should also include policies that protect and preserve the existing mobile home
park that is located south of Mohr Lane.
2020 GPAC Direction for Focus Area 9: In 2020,
the GPAC recommended that all parcels in this
area be re-designated to Mixed Use and that
policies be created to preserve the existing
mobile home park.
2021 GPAC Modifications: In 2021, the GPAC
included parcels within this Focus Area within
a Housing Element Opportunity Site. The GPAC
recommended designating these parcels Mixed
Use High Density. This revised designation allows
a density of 40-70 du/ac. These changes are
reflected on Figure 7 on the next page. For more
information, please see page 34.
2022 GPAC Modifications:

Although the GPAC did not recommend any
additional land use changes, they did request
that a new policy focused on traffic circulation
around Monument Boulevard be included in the
updated Transportation/Circulation Element.

University Site
Focus Area 10: JFK University Site and Sites along Ellinwood Way Location: East of the Intersection of Pleasant Hill Road and Taylor Boulevard The JFK University site is a 4.87-acre site currently designated Office. The sites along Ellinwood Way comprise approximately 15-acres and are also currently designated Office. 2021 GPAC Direction for the potential site:

In 2021, the GPAC recommended that the JFK University site be considered as a Housing Element Opportunity Site, designated Mixed Use High Density and that Mixed Use Very High Density be considered at this site if necessary to meet the identified housing need. The GPAC also recommended that the site’s proximity to the freeway be considered in all land use decisions. Due to a request from the owner, the site has been removed from the housing element process. However, this site could still be considered by the Planning Commission and City Council as part of the General Plan Land Use Element update.
2022 GPAC Direction for the potential site:

In 2022, the GPAC recommended that the JFK site be re-designated Mixed Use Very High Density as part of the General Plan Update. At this time, the GPAC also recommended that the office uses along Ellinwood Way, just north of JFK University, be re-designated to Mixed Use Very High Density. Finally the GPAC recommended that the office use at the north end of Ellinwood Way, be re-designated to Multi-Family Low Density. The intent of redesignating the properties adjacent to Ellinwood Way was to create more capacity for future higher-density residential where there was already existing infrastructure in place. Currently
these properties are low-rise to mid-rise office
complexes which have the onsite capacity
for residential and the associated parking.

This redesignation also is consistent with the
surrounding development which consists of
multi-family townhomes, apartments, and
hotels. These changes are reflected in Figure 8.

During GPAC meetings in 2021, the
JFK University Site was presented
as Housing Element Opportunity
Site E. Although the site will not
be recommended for rezoning in
the housing element, it may still
be considered for re-designation
within the General Plan Land Use
Element update. The GPAC has
recommended the site, as well as
additional parcels along Ellinwood
Way for re-designation.

As part of the review of the General Plan Land Use map, staff identified, and the Planning Commission recommended, additional “clean-up” sites for modifications to existing land use designations. The sites are summarized below:
• 1791 Shirley Avenue (APN 153-223-012) – This site currently has a single-family residence, yet has an Office designation. The GPAC recommended this site to have a mixed use designation, thus, if this land use designation is recommended, then this will bring make the site consistent with the proposed changes to the land use designation of single family properties to the north.
• 700 Ellinwood Way (APN 127-180-058 & 055) – This property currently has a hotel and has a split land use designation, Office designation to the north and Commercial and Retail to the south, both containing a single hotel use. With the hotel use in place, the Commercial and Retail with a Tourist Commercial Overlay designation may be more appropriate.
• 650 Ellinwood Way (APN 127-210-031) – This site currently has an Office designation. The site has a multiple story hotel on the site, thus, a change to Commercial and Retail with a Tourist Commercial Overlay designation may be more appropriate.
• 3220 Buskirk Avenue (APN 148-100-045) – This site currently has a Commercial and Retail land use designation.

However, due to a multi-story hotel on the property, applying the Tourist Commercial Overlay designation would be consistent with recent action by the City.

At meetings on May 12, 2021 and June 23, 2021, the GPAC reviewed and discussed potential sites for higher density residential land uses with sufficient capacity to meet the State-mandated housing goals. On November 17, 2021, the GPAC recommended that staff carry forward eight Housing Opportunity Sites for consideration in addition to the changes recommended in the previously discussed Focus Areas. In 2022, the Mangini-Delu site was removed from the housing opportunity sites list in order to give the City time to implement a master plan requirement for the area. This section summarizes each of the seven Housing Element Opportunity Sites, which are identified in Figure 9.

Figures 18 and 19 compare the Existing General Plan Land Uses and the GPAC-Preferred Land Uses within the Focus Areas and Housing Element Opportunity Sites. Because the GPAC recommendations are limited to the Focus Areas and Housing Opportunity Sites, only these areas are shown on the diagrams.

Figure 20 shows the Citywide GPAC-Preferred Land Use Diagram.

Why are these totals so high?
This table compares the maximum
potential buildout of each alternative
if every parcel were to be built-out at
the maximum allowed density. This
is not an evaluation of reality of the
built environment in Pleasant Hill.

NOTICE OF STUDY SESSION

CITY COUNCIL
2026 GENERAL PLAN LAND USE STUDY SESSION

CITY-WIDE
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN by the City of Pleasant Hill that the City Council will conduct a Study Session to invite public input and to provide direction to Staff regarding potential additional General Plan Amendments beyond what was recently completed as part of General Plan 2040. This Study Session is a follow up from the November 17, 2025 City Council hearing where the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 978 amending the City’s Municipal Code Title 18 (Planning and Land Use) in its entirety and amending the Zoning Map to include the rezoning of 1,072 parcels throughout the city for consistency with the 2040 General Plan and 2023-2031 Housing Element. At that meeting, the City Council directed Staff to provide an opportunity for additional discussion on potential additional, future General Plan Amendments within the first six months of 2026. More information can be found at www.phillca.gov/2026gpstudy.

Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 134 of 176 - Monday, March 16, 2026 From: Will Cefali
To: Haley Croffoot
Subject: 2026 General Plan Land Use Study
Date: Saturday, February 21, 2026 7:57:50 AM

Dear Ms. Croffoot,
While I can’t attend the upcoming meeting, I am writing in support of the upcoming comprehensive Zoning Ordinance amendment and to encourage the City to use this opportunity to advance three important priorities.

First, I urge the City to eliminate parking minimums. Parking minimums drive up housing costs, consume valuable land, and incentivize car-centric development that runs counter to the goals of the 2040 General Plan. Removing them would give developers flexibility to build more housing at lower cost, while letting actual demand, rather than outdated mandates, determine how much parking is needed. Cities like Sacramento and San Jose have already taken this step with positive results.

Second, I strongly encourage a more ambitious commitment to active transportation. Zoning standards should require or incentivize Class I separated bike lanes, improved pedestrian infrastructure, and safe connections to transit. These investments reduce vehicle miles traveled, support public health, and make Pleasant Hill more accessible for residents of all ages and abilities.

Third, and perhaps most importantly, I want to highlight the neighborhood business area around Oak Park Boulevard and Patterson Boulevard. This corridor, with its proximity to neighborhoods and two class-1 trails, is one of the most walkable areas in Pleasant Hill and has tremendous unrealized potential as a model pedestrian-oriented district. Unfortunately, its current FAR severely limits density, and large surface parking lots like the one at the Safeway dominate what could be vibrant, human-scaled streetscape. I urge the City to upzone this area into a true mixed-use zone with higher FARs, active ground-floor retail requirements, and eliminated parking minimums. Done right, this area could become a shining example of what walkable, neighborhood-scale commercial development looks like in Contra Costa County.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
Will Cefali

Question or Comment:: Dear Council,
Please include Districts 1 and 4 in the 2026 Land Use Study. We believe there is a "Smart Growth" path forward that works for everyone.

Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 136 of 176 - Monday, March 16, 2026 Instead of high-density apartment blocks on our ridgelines, let’s use this reopening to explore other types of housing that preserves the character of our hillsides and not overwhelm them.

We want to help you build a better Pleasant Hill, but our Districts need to be included in the study to do so.

Sincerely,
Frank Chan

Subject:: Fairness in the General Plan Reopening Process Question or Comment:: Dear Pleasant Hill City Council,
I am writing to express my disappointment that Districts 1 and 4 have been unmentioned and omitted from the scope of the 2026 Land Use Study.

The Council decided to reopen the General Plan because of a "disconnect" between the city's plan and the community's reality. That disconnect is nowhere more apparent than on our hillsides. It is inconsistent to grant a seat at the table to Districts 2, 3 and 5 while denying the same to the residents of Districts 1 and 4 who have been equally vocal.

We are asking for the same transparency and the same "remedy" offered to our neighbors in other districts. Please include us.

Thank you,
BL

Subject:: General Plan Study Session
Question or Comment:: Dear Mayor and City Council,
I am writing ahead of the March 16th General Plan Study Session to express my appreciation for the Council’s willingness to revisit and correct zoning inconsistencies in Districts 2, 3, and 5. It's appropriate for the Council to Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 139 of 176 - Monday, March 16, 2026 recognize that protecting the character of established single-family neighborhoods is a goal of the City in general, but should also be a commitment that is extended to every resident, no matter where they live.

However, a "mistake" corrected in one district must be addressed in all. If the Council is willing to considering rolling back higher density mandated in Program F of the Housing Element, to be fair and equitable, the Council must apply this same lens of scrutiny to the high-density designations that were forced onto certain parcels in Districts 1 and 4.

Specifically, the 196 units at Morello Terraces and 102 units at Paso Nogal are slated for environmentally sensitive hillsides that cannot support high-intensity development. These designations are as much a "mistake" as the ones being corrected in other Districts.

Instead, we are proposing that the Council consider maximizing density in areas already slated for high density. In our own Districts, the DVC Overflow Parking lot was designated as 70-100 du/acre and even if you take 70% of the 10 acres that the parking lot covers, that would calculate to 490 dwelling units, which is hundreds of units above any estimates in the Housing Element. Moving just 50% of the units from Morello Terraces and Paso Nogal Hill to the DVC Overflow lot will keep the density manageable on those hillside parcels, while slightly increasing density on flat parking lots that will more than meet the RHNA mandates, keep housing within the Districts in which housing was planned, and optimize density that was already designated in the General Plan.

I support amending the General Plan to transfer these hillside units to infill sites like the DVC overflow lot. If the City is willing to prioritize neighborhood character in Districts 2, 3, and 5, it is only fair to do the same for the residents of Districts 1 and 4.

Sincerely,
Frank

Comment:

Dear Mayor Shess and Pleasant Hill City Councilmembers, As we approach critical decisions regarding the 2026 General Plan Land Use Study, I wanted to reach out with a spirit of collaboration. We all share the same goal: a vibrant, growing Pleasant Hill that remains safe and livable for every family who calls this city home.

I truly appreciate the work the Council has done to listen to residents in Gregory Gardens, East Vivian, and Poet’s Corner. By offering a Focused Fix for those neighborhoods, you’ve shown a commitment to correcting land-use designations that simply don't fit the reality of the community. I am writing to ask you to extend that same thoughtful consideration to Districts 1 and 4. By moving from a "Focused Fix" to an expanded review, the Council has an opportunity to create a truly unified vision for our city. We recognize that Pleasant Hill must meet its housing goals, and we want to help the city find the best solutions for that density. We can adjust the densities on Morello Terraces and Paso Nogal Hill and add some density elsewhere 'in our own Districts' that will exceed the RHNA mandate. We want to contribute to Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 141 of 176 - Monday, March 16, 2026 that housing mix just like everyone else, but shouldn't District 1 and 4 also be at the table to discuss what is appropriate or not? A comprehensive study allows us to:

Protect our Shared Safety: By reviewing the hillsides together, we can ensure that housing is built at an appropriate density that accounts for the very real fire and landslide risks on our steepest slopes. Ensure Fairness: An expanded or comprehensive study ensures that no neighborhood feels left behind. It signals that every district in Pleasant Hill is held to the same high standards of suitability and safety. Strengthen the General Plan: Program F is a city-wide engine. Evaluating it through a comprehensive lens ensures that the fixes you make today won't lead to inconsistencies tomorrow. We aren't asking for a predetermined outcome, only for the opportunity to be part of a transparent, city-wide conversation. We want to work with you to ensure that the 2026 Land Use Study is a success for every resident.

Thank you for your hard work and for your dedication to a fair process for all five districts. Sincerely, Jim Lehman

Comment:

Dear Mayor and Pleasant Hill Councilmembers, I am writing today because the current proposal for the 2026 General Plan Land Use Study feels less like a planning exercise and more like a map of who the City is willing to listen to. By proposing a “Focused Fix” that only addresses Districts 2, 3, and 5, the Council is drawing a line through our city. You are essentially telling the residents of Districts 1 and 4 that our safety concerns regarding 35% slopes and high fire risks aren't worth the same attention you’re giving our neighbors. Why is one neighborhood's "mistake" worth fixing, while our neighborhood's "risk" is ignored? The issues with Program F are widespread. It is the same policy "engine" causing headaches in Gregory Gardens, East Vivian and Poet's Corner as it is on the hillsides of Morello and Paso Nogal.

Trying to fix a city-wide policy with a Focused Fix is logically inconsistent and, frankly, unfair. It treats the General Plan like a list of favorites where the Council picks and chooses which residents get protection and which are left to deal with the consequences of over-density. We are demanding a Comprehensive Approach. We are asking for: Procedural Parity: The same seat at the table you’ve already granted to other districts. Consistency: Acknowledging that if Program F is flawed for one Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 145 of 176 - Monday, March 16, 2026 area, it is flawed for other areas. A Unified City: Admitting that the city has the a robust RHNA mix to fix these errors for everyone without triggering state penalties.

We aren't asking for a favor. We are asking you to represent all five districts, not just a select few. Include Districts 1 and 4 in the 2026 General Plan Land Use Study scope. Sincerely, Carl Noble

Dear Mayor and Council Members, I am writing as a resident of District 1 to formally request that the scope of the 2026 General Plan Land Use Study looking at rezoning be expanded to include our neighborhood as well as District 4. Currently, several other districts are receiving focused attention regarding land-use amendments, yet Districts 1 and 4 face some of the most challenging developments in the city. Specifically, the highdensity designations for Morello Terraces and Paso Nogal Hill must be re-evaluated.

These sites were added under significant pressure, but the 2026 Study Session provides the "second look" our community was promised. Please ensure Districts 1 and 4 are treated with the same priority as the rest of the city. Sincerely, Victoria Menear

Haley -
Have to start by stating that I, like many other concerned citizens in the City of Pleasant Hill, am extremely disappointed to find that we should expect to hear nothing about the potential revisions to the General Plan documents in the first two months of the six month timeframe for the 2026 revisions to the General Plan 2040 Map & related Ordinances to be completed.

Furthermore, I have yet to see any indication WHEN there will be an opportunity for PUBLIC DISCUSSION of the merits of any existing or revised requirements !! You were copied on my email dated November 18th to then Vice-Mayor Shess. I want to make a couple of additions to that document as follows:

Item # 2: the rezoning of the residential properties on the East side of Shirley Drive to Mixeduse was inadvertently omitted from this group. A much better option for this would be to rezone the residences fronting on CCB between Viking & Allen Drives to mixed use.

Item # 3: the rezoning of the commercial / office properties on the North side of Gregory between Kahns & Helen could also include the first five residential properties on the East side of Helen. This would allow for a mega-block development of all these sites combined. But a new set of special regulations would be needed to maximize the development potential here.

Please include all of these documents in the Public Comments for the proposed revisions.

Subject:: General Plan Reopening - Districts 1 and 4 - 2026 Land Use Study Question or Comment:: Honorable Mayor and Council,
I am submitting this comment to urge the inclusion of the Morello Terraces (District 1) and Paso Nogal Hill (District 4) sites in the 2026 General Plan Land Use Study. The recent Comprehensive Zoning Update has "locked Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 153 of 176 - Monday, March 16, 2026 in" densities that are incompatible with the actual topography of these parcels.

Many of these areas exceed a 35% slope grade. Standard engineering and wildfire safety protocols suggest that high-density residential is inappropriate for such terrain. By omitting Districts 1 and 4 from the current General Plan reopening, the City is ignoring the "Zoning Gap" that exists between your map and the physical reality of the land.

We request a formal re-evaluation of these sites to ensure the General Plan is both safe and legally sound.

Respectfully,
Mike Lee

There seems to be a great deal of confusion whether the eleven Housing Element Sites will be reopened as part of the 2026 General Plan & Zoning Map update currently underway. It would be well for the City Council to clarify whether that was their intent at their next meeting if not beforehand !
Two new sites that might be considered for Mixed-Use are the Wells Fargo Bank property (Add to the original Site "B") and the SF home sites facing CCB between Allen & Viking Drives. Are these being considered ?
Also, I still have unanswered questions regarding HE Site "A" - the North / Overflow Parking Lot at DVC. I believe that 7 of this 10 acre site are now zoned for 70 to 100 du / acre, yet the count of 350 was not increased when the coverage was (originally 5 acres). These numbers cannot all be true unless you are using some New Math that I am unfamiliar with !! In addition, as I read the applicable City Ordinances, they prohibit the use of this site for nonresident / commuter parking facilities when the housing is constructed. Please clarify both of these points ASAP !!
Please advise on all issues above !

Subject:: Include Districts 1 & 4 in the 2026 General Plan Land Use Study Question or Comment:: As residents of Pleasant Hill, we would like to formally request that the City Council expand the scope of the 2026 General Plan Land Use Study to include the hillside sites in Districts 1 and 4. As currently proposed, the study excludes the very areas that face the most significant environmental and safety hazards under the 2040 General Plan.

Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 156 of 176 - Monday, March 16, 2026 Our community is united behind the principle of Smart Growth. We are not anti-housing; we are pro-safety and pro-transparency. The current "Zoning Gap" between the high-density designations in the General Plan and the physical reality of these neighborhoods has created a dangerous situation that must be addressed during this rare "reopening" of the General Plan.

1. The Omission of Districts 1 and 4 is a Matter of Inequity The Council has rightly acknowledged that a "second look" is needed for neighborhoods in Districts 2, 3, and 5 due to concerns over high-density rezoning. However, Districts 1 and 4—specifically the areas around Morello Terraces and Paso Nogal Hill—have been excluded. These neighborhoods were not properly notified of the initial up-zoning, and to deny us the same remedy granted to other districts is a failure of civic fairness.

2. The Danger of Program EEE (Sloped Site Incentives)
Our most urgent concern lies with Program EEE. The City’s own Housing Element admits these sites are topographically constrained, with slopes exceeding 35% grade. Rather than designating these areas for low-impact housing, Program EEE perversely offers "incentives" to developers—such as increased height and density—to make these high-risk projects "feasible."
Landslide Risk: Building high-density structures on 35% slopes creates severe geotechnical risks for the entire surrounding area.

Fire Safety: These sites are located in High Fire Severity Zones. Program EEE encourages the placement of hundreds of residents on narrow, winding roads that are already insufficient for emergency evacuation.

3. The Impacts of Program F and Mixed-Use Designations
Like our neighbors in Gregory Gardens, East Vivian and Poet’s Corner, we are deeply concerned by the mandates in Program F. When combined with new Mixed-Use designations, these policies threaten to irrevocably change the character of single-family neighborhoods and overwhelm local infrastructure that was never designed for this level of intensity.

4. The 2026 Study is an Opportunity for All
This Land Use Study represents the only legal window to align our zoning with the actual realities of our neighborhoods. This is an opportunity for open discussion and to involve the entirety of the City. Don't limit it to a select few areas.

Our Request:

We ask that you include Districts 1 and 4 in the 2026 Land Use Study. Pleasant Hill deserves a plan that works for all five districts, not just three. We look forward to seeing the Council demonstrate its commitment to safety and equity at the upcoming City Council meetings.

Residents of Pleasant Hill in Districts 1 and 4

As you prepare for the March 16th General Plan Study Session, I am encouraged by recent discussions regarding the correction of zoning errors in Gregory Gardens, Poet's Corner and East Vivian. This demonstrates that the Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 158 of 176 - Monday, March 16, 2026 2040 General Plan is a living document that can be improved with generous community input.

In the same vein, I also urge you to use this session to address the critical "mismatches" in Districts 1 and 4. We do not have to choose between State RHNA compliance and protecting our natural resources. We can achieve both by:

Correcting the Hillside "Mistake": Consider altering the high-density Program F requirements from the Morello and Paso Nogal hillsides in District 4. These sites are environmentally constrained and unsuited for the high density mandated in that Program. Reduce the dwelling units and encourage building at the scale of nearby neighborhoods, like multifamily town homes, and 4-plexes.

The "Infill Swap": Because State law requires no net loss when making General Plan or Housing Element amendments, the Council can easily consider transferring that density to the DVC Overflow Lot and the Black Angus site. These are 100% paved, transit-adjacent, and better suited for the high-density housing the State requires. We would prefer the swap to be within our Districts, but the Black Angus site was mentioned merely because so many have mentioned it to be an ideal site for housing.

Let’s ensure the March 16th session results in a plan that is fair to all five districts. Please follow the precedent set in Districts 2, 3, and 5 and fix the density blueprints for Districts 1 and 4.

Best regards,
Mary Amber

Subject:: Protecting our Hillsides: Please Include Districts 1 & 4 Question or Comment:: Dear Council Members,
As a long-time resident of Pleasant Hill, I was heartened to hear the Council is reopening the General Plan to fix overly aggressive zoning. However, I am deeply concerned to see that Districts 1 and 4 have been left out of this Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 160 of 176 - Monday, March 16, 2026 study.

Building high-density housing on steep slopes like Morello Terraces and Paso Nogal Hill isn't just a land-use issue; it’s a safety issue. Our narrow roads cannot handle the traffic, the hills are prone to landslides, and our fire evacuation routes will be compromised.

Please don't leave us behind while you address concerns in other parts of the city. We ask for parity and a seat at the table to discuss a smarter vision for our hills.

Best regards,
Jen C.

Dear Mayor and City Councilmembers,
As a resident invested in the future of our community, I am writing to provide input on the City’s Priority Workplan for the next two years. Specifically, I am requesting that the Council add or revise the priorities under City Goal #3: A City that is attractive, wellplanned, and well-maintained to include the following two critical objectives:

Objective: Community-Centered Review of the General Plan and Zoning Updates • Suggested Goal Text: "Conduct a community-centered review of the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance updates to identify potential changes that better reflect resident input and community priorities."
• Why This Matters: Meaningful community outreach should be a prerequisite for change, not an afterthought. By making this a priority, the City commits to engaging residents early in the process rather than limiting public input to formal hearings where plans are often already finalized.

Objective: Direct Notification for All Affected Property Owners • Suggested Goal Text: "Adopt a City policy requiring direct notification to all property owners affected by proposed zoning changes during the General Plan process, in addition to any zoning update notifications, to ensure transparency and meaningful public participation."
• Why This Matters: Transparency is the foundation of public trust. All property owners deserve to be notified directly when their properties are proposed for rezoning during the General Plan process, ensuring they have the opportunity to participate before decisions reach the final ordinance stage.

Our General Plan should reflect the people who live here. Incorporating these goals into the Workplan will ensure that the development process is transparent, inclusive, and truly community driven.

I urge you to adopt these revisions during this Monday’s Special Council Meeting.

Sincerely,
Tom Branch

Subject: Questions Regarding Rezoning Decisions & Alternative Housing Opportunity Locations that Would Save the East Vivian Neighborhoods
Date: Tuesday, December 16, 2025 10:32:52 AM
CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender.

Hi Andrei,
I look forward to your support helping the East Vivian residents amend the Housing Element. As requested, I have put together a list of questions and alternative housing opportunity locations that I would like you, your fellow council members and the planning commission to consider and provide insight on.

Targeting of the East Vivian Neighborhood
We would like the Planning Department to explain why the East Vivian neighborhood was specifically targeted for rezoning. More broadly, why is the City targeting areas with existing homes for rezoning—particularly in one of the most affordable neighborhoods in Pleasant Hill—rather than focusing on vacant or underutilized commercial parcels?
If it is inevitable that the East Vivian neighborhood be rezoned, is it possible to just include the houses directly on Contra Costa and not the entire neighborhood? If the East Vivian neighborhood is rezoned, is it possible to amend the mixed-use guidelines to eliminate certain uses that would increase traffic (narrow streets with no sidewalks), and potentially risk the safety of all the young children that live in the area? (Remove options like low barrier navigation centers, mobile home parks, theaters, transitional housing, banks, and live entertainment inside of a building). If the goal is really more housing then why allow these options; why not change zoning to high-density multifamily residential?
Alternative Housing Opportunity Locations:

Black Angus Lot
The Black Angus site has been vacant for several years, and the property owner has previously brought housing development concepts to the Planning Commission.

Why were those proposals denied?
Additionally, while the site is currently zoned for hotel use, given the City’s stated housing needs, why was the zoning not changed to allow residential development as part of the recent zoning update?
Turning the empty Black Angus lot into mixed-use will create housing + the commercial element will support the city's needs from a revenue perspective.

This location has been vacant for multiple years, thus generating ZERO revenue for the city. We do not need another hotel in Pleasant Hill. The city's residents should be first and foremost in how the General Plan and Housing Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 164 of 176 - Monday, March 16, 2026 Element is determined, how much money the city can make should be secondary and not the deciding factor in what gets built where.

This location is in walking distance to public transportation and neighborhood shops.

I know you brought up that the state will not allow a housing unit to be built at that site because of the proximity to the freeway, but East Vivian is adjacent to the freeway. Why was that same concern not a concern when the East Vivian neighborhood was rezoned?
Can you please confirm why this location was not considered in the initial housing plan and why it cannot be considered now? If a petition from Pleasant Hill residents supporting a mixed-use development in this location is needed, I would be happy to initiate one.

Old Rite Aid Location
This is the perfect location for a mixed use development. This is in a prime location to downtown Pleasant Hill and can provide multiple housing units and commercial spaces.

If this location is not being considered, I would like to understand why.

Old Bed, Bath & Beyond Location
This is the perfect location for a mixed use development as well. This is in a prime location and can provide multiple housing units and commercial spaces.

If this location is not being considered, I would like to understand why.

Pleasant Hill Executive Park on Taylor Blvd.

There are multiple office and business sites along Taylor Boulevard and Gregory Lane with large surface parking lots that appear suitable for mixeduse development (office or commercial on the ground floor with housing above), the Pleasant Hill Executive Park on Taylor Blvd. being one of them.

Why were these opportunities not pursued in the zoning update? Is it possible to rezone these areas for mixed use and, in turn, reduce the amount of mixeduse zoning applied to East Vivian? This is another prime location for a mixed use development. This site would provide multiple housing units and commercial spaces.

This location is within walking distance to public transportation, shops, and traffic would benefit from the newly designed intersection at Taylor and Contra Costa Blvd.

Why wasn't this site initially considered?
If this location is not being considered, I would like to understand why.

Mangini Delu Property
There is a reason why the Mangini site has been on the list as a housing opportunity for the last 16 years.

There's no reason why this property should not be included in the housing Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 165 of 176 - Monday, March 16, 2026 element and designated as mixed-use.

This location is currently vacant.

This location resides in a central location of the city with the proper thoroughfare to support the additional traffic additional housing would create, unlike the East Vivian neighborhood.

This location is in walking distance to other commercial and retail locations.

It honestly makes ZERO sense why this property was not included in the housing plan.

Why was a vacant lot such as the Mangini Delu property zoned for less dense housing compared to areas like East Vivian/West Sherman Acres, which contain existing homes?
Fair Oaks Neighborhood
This neighborhood is adjacent to the Kohl's/Dick's commercial site.

This is the perfect location for mixed-use.

This location is near public transportation and accessible to the freeway.

Why was this neighborhood not included in the housing plan? Vacant Parcels on Geary Road
There are vacant or underutilized parcels along Geary Road. Why were these areas not zoned for higher-density housing options such as condos or townhomes, instead of maintaining single-family zoning on larger parcels?
I appreciate your support and any insight City Council and/or the Planning Staff and/or City Manager can provide on these questions. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you,
Sara Kelley

Mayor Shess -
Having listened to most of both the December 1st & 15th City council meetings, I have to say that I am disappointed to realize that I heard absolutely nothing about your plans to get off to a quick start on the process to revise the General Plan 2040 & Zoning Maps & related City Ordinances. I do expect that it will be challenging to complete this work, including all the desired Public Meetings & the required Public Hearings by the promised date of June 30, 2026. This effort is further compounded by the need to prepare the City Budget for the next two FY's during the very same timeframe.

Hope to hear much more very soon . . . . .

Vice Mayor Shess -
Further as to my email to you dated October 21st regarding the PH 2040 General Plan . . . . .
1- In order to achieve a better outcome than the last effort received, it is my recommendation that the next Mayor appoint a NINE Member GPAC for the Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 167 of 176 - Monday, March 16, 2026 2026 revisions to the 2040 General Plan as follows:

City Officials: Sue Noack, Amanda Szakats, Chad Wyler & Will Nelson
Public Members: one from each of the five Election District who are NOT residents / owners of the recently rezoned properties 2- Based on the reaction from residents of these areas, the General Plan & Zoning Maps for four areas of the City deserve additional study as follows:
- the area that the City Officials now refer to as "East Vivian" - I believe that this was originally known as West Sherman Acres.
- the home sites on the north side of Gregory Lane starting just east of Helen Road & ending at the CC Canal.
- the home sites on the south side of Gregory Lane just east of Kahrs Ave - known as part of the Julian Woods PUD / HOA.
- the portion of PUD 410 that is west of Grayson Creek.

It is my understanding that any potential housing units that are removed from these locations will have to be added in other areas of the City in order to achieve a Net Zero impact on the number of housing units that could be developed under the 2040 General Plan.
3- To that list I would add four others:
- rezone the residential properties on the east side of Susan Lane to allow for the redevelopment of the GG Shopping Center as a single mega-block project. - the potential housing development of the Smith Family properties addressed as 239 thru 247 Gregory Lane.
- the potential benefits for the Rec & Park District's Winslow Center property to allow residential buildings at the same or a higher density as the farm properties.
- the two commercial / office properties on the north side of Gregory between Kahrs & Helen.
4- The related City Ordinances also need further study - these include the following:
a. the requirement for commercial spaces to face the main street frontage is the same "old school" thinking that gave us the typical suburban strip mall with the parking lot out in front of the building - see Section 18.20.040-O on page 86.

That was a good idea in the decades before we all had the Map Apps & Google search features that allow anyone to easily find any business they are looking for. This Restriction should be entirely deleted.
b. the 25% requirement severely limits the size & shape of any residential development above because the ground floor level has to accommodate two fire exit stairs, an elevator & a mailbox / lobby in addition to the commercial uses - see Table 18.20-C on page 82. Recommend that this be reduced to 20% or less as appropriate.
c. the revised height limits have repeatedly been challenged, yet the Public has Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 168 of 176 - Monday, March 16, 2026 never received any explanation as to how these numbers were established - see Tables 18.15-B & 18.20-B. Here are my recommendations for changes to the various Zoning / General Plan designations:

MFL / MFLD - from 35' to 40' - unchanged in the 2040 GP MFM / MFMD - from 40' to 50' - ditto
MFH / MFHD - from 50' to 60' - ditto
MX-NB / MUD - from 35' to 40' - ditto
MX / MD - from 50' to 60' - increased from 40' to 50' in the current GP
MX-HD / MUHD - from 60' to 70' - increased from 50' to 60' in the current GP
These heights are based on my belief that four levels of residential units is the most economical way to build wood framed multi-family housing. Either 3 or 5 stories are less economical; two stories will never pencil out today because of the ADA access requirements for an elevator. These limits are especially critical for all of the City that is east of Grayson Creek due to the relatively high water table which severely limits the practicality of having two-level parking garages entirely below grade. We may also want to investigate a reduction in the Building Code / ADA requirements for an elevator & a second stair for the MX-NB / MUD Zoning / Planning designations.
d. in addition to the above height increases, I believe that the height limits for the Mangini-Delu properties west of the creek should be increased to 60' - taller buildings will allow for an increased amount of open space surrounding those buildings without overshadowing the nearby residences. e. the Signage Ordinances will also need to be revised as appropriate for the main street frontage to accommodate the new building layouts. f. the Parking requirements in Section 18.80 need to be thoroughly reviewed for compliance with the City Council Goal to "insulate surrounding land uses from adverse impacts". The related issues include: assigned spaces for individual businesses for more than 20% of the spaces in commercial lots is inefficient; two car garages for smaller single family homes is excessive, but spaces in driveways are needed, especially as lot sizes shrink; & compliance with the latest State Laws for all Residential Occupancies. Every occupancy should have sufficient parking to meet its needs at least 90% of the time. g. the requirements to underground existing utility services along property boundaries need to be totally revised to provide a more reasonable & equitable approach towards achieving this Goal. It is inordinately costly to accomplish this where there is a net reduction of less than six poles & inequitable to burden a property based on decisions that were made decades ago ! See 18.55.090.

I am unaware of any actual DISCUSSION of these Ordinance revisions with the Public once the Staff put their conclusions into an actual DRAFT document.

Please let me know where I can review the documentation of any such Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 169 of 176 - Monday, March 16, 2026 DISCUSSIONS that I may have missed. They certainly did NOT occur in any meaningful measure at any of the various Study Sessions & Public Hearings of either the Planning Commission or the City Council.

Vice Mayor Shess -
Assuming that the three new Council Members don't decide to gang up and "Weir" you like happened here in 2013, you will be the new Mayor of PH come December 1st. For that reason, I want to pass along my first thoughts regarding the proposed update to the 2040 General Plan Map. The related City Ordinances should be reviewed as well.

Early on I found it difficult to exactly see where some of the locations were at. I requested that Staff break the City-wide maps such that anyone could easily print them out on letter-size paper using their home computer. That never happened, but for the most recent Public Hearings, Staff did break the City into four rather awkward quadrants. Now that we have five relatively compact Election Districts, I would suggest that the detailed maps correspond to those boundaries !
I am unaware of any actual back & forth discussions with the Public having taken place once the Staff put their ideas down on the DRAFT Maps. Yes - there was lots of Public input beforehand, and Yes - there were lots of Public Hearings afterwards, but only the City Officials get to have responses there to their questions at those times. It is extremely frustrating NOT being able to get any information on the basis for the Staff recommendations.

Almost all of the attention was focused on the Housing Element Sites A thru L plus MT & PN while little was being said, much less highlighted, for all the other changes that Staff was making on the General Plan Map. That drained all of the energy away from the places that are now at issue.

The lack of significant new projects going thru the Planning & Approval process during the last two years is alarming - it demonstrates that the Restrictions in the Pleasant Hill Ordinances do not encourage development - this is in stark contrast to all the new construction we see going on right next door in Concord. My favorite one is the building height limits, especially for Medium & High Density Residential & Mixed-Use developments, but there are many more !!
Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 170 of 176 - Monday, March 16, 2026 The attached "RHNA Histogram" revised 3/20/2025 that I prepared earlier this year clearly depicts the shortfall and based on Planning activity so far during this year, I expect to see the RED zone to expand ever larger when the new annual numbers are available in February . . . . . THIS is the REAL ISSUE - not the two-year deadline for matching the Maps ! I would suggest that widely-publicized separate Public meetings be held for each Election District - open to all concerned Residents & Property Owners.

These should be done between Wednesday January 7th & Thursday February 5th so that the City Council does not get backed into a corner once again.

Subject:: Formal Comment for March 16 Study Session: A Proposed Framework for Equitable Housing Distribution, Environmental Protection, and Procedural Transparency Question or Comment:: Dear Mayor Shess and Honorable Members of the City Council, As the City Council convenes for the March 16th Study Session, I am writing to propose a comprehensive path Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 172 of 176 - Monday, March 16, 2026 forward for our General Plan Amendments. While I appreciate the Council’s recent willingness to address zoning inconsistencies in some Districts, I believe this session is the critical moment to apply that same standard of corrective excellence for all Districts.

We are no longer operating under the initial deadline pressures of the Housing Element cycle. This allows the City to transition from a reactive "compliance at all costs" model to a more forward thinking and deliberative "Community-Centered Planning" model. I respectfully urge the Council to direct Staff to evaluate the following city-wide framework:

1. Equitable Density Distribution (The "Infill Swap")
The current Plan places high-density "Program F" blueprints on topographically challenged and environmentally sensitive lands as well as well-established single family neighborhoods. I propose a strategic transfer of density:

Protect Natural Assets and Single Family Designations: Revert some of the Morello Terraces and Paso Nogal Hill sites to a gentler density more in-line with neighboring developments and better suited for steep hillsides. These hillsides are ecological assets, not high-density housing corridors.

Utilize Underutilized Infill: Offset these unit losses by maximizing the DVC Overflow Lot and the Black Angus site. These 100% paved, "High Resource" sites can support the "Very High Density" required for RHNA without degrading ridgelines or existing residential character.

2. Protecting District 2, 3 and 5 Neighborhood Character Growth must be compatible with the unique "Pleasant Hill" feel of the City. Maximize usage of Missing Middle Housing rather than Mixed Use or High Density housing.

3. Correcting "Mistakes"
I support the Council's intent to fix errors in some areas. To be fair, all errors in all Districts identified should be fixed. Then these corrections must be codified through a formal General Plan Amendment that ensures these areas are protected from incompatible high-density and mixed-use encroachment, maintaining the "Missing Middle" scale that defines these areas.

4. A Framework for Radical Transparency and Notification Trust in the General Plan is built on communication. I ask the Council to establish a formal Direct Notification Policy:

Mandatory Notice: Direct mailers to all property owners within 500 feet of a proposed General Plan amendment or rezoning, using plain language to explain the impact.

Expert-Led Engagement: Facilitate three community workshops featuring City Staff and planning consultants to allow for a deep-dive into the rationale behind land-use decisions.

Public Review Period: A mandatory 30-day window for public comment on all recommended changes prior to any final vote.

Our community is not a collection of parcels; it is a tapestry of neighborhoods where families have built their lives.

We can meet our housing obligations while honoring our environment and our residents. I ask that you hold 3/16/26's study session with the courage to improve this plan for all five districts.

Respectfully,
Andrew Dock

Subject:: Public Comment for March 16 Study Session: A Request for Transparency and a Better Path for Districts 1 & 4
Question or Comment:: Dear Mayor Shess and Honorable Members of the City Council, I am writing to share my sincere hope for the March 16th Study Session. As a resident who cares deeply about the Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 175 of 176 - Monday, March 16, 2026 future of our neighborhoods, I see this session as a critical opportunity to move toward a more collaborative process, one that fixes the acknowledged flaws in our current General Plan while still meeting our housing obligations.

I appreciate the Council’s willingness to review mistakes in Districts 2, 3, and 5. However, for this process to be truly successful, it must be applied equitably to the "Program F" density blueprints in Districts 1 and 4. We can meet our RHNA goals without forcing high-density projects on the sensitive hillsides of Morello Terraces or Paso Nogal Hill, but it requires an honest look at better alternatives.

To ensure this session marks the beginning of a thoughtful, expert-led process, I respectfully request that the Council adopt the following framework:

A "Density Swap" Study: Direct staff to evaluate the feasibility of partially moving some of the 298 units currently slated for District 4 hillsides to high-resource, 100% paved sites like the DVC Overflow Lot and the Black Angus site.

Community-Led Workshops: I suggest a series of three staff- and consultant- facilitated meetings where residents can engage directly with the planning experts and consultants who built this plan. We need to understand the "why" behind these designations to offer constructive alternatives.

Direct Notification Policy: The Council has acknowledged that past outreach fell short. I ask that you establish a formal policy requiring direct, plain-language mailers to any property owner within 500 feet of a proposed General Plan amendment or rezoning.

A 30-Day Review Period: Any proposed changes should be published and made available for public review for at least 30 days prior to adoption.

We are no longer under the same immediate deadline pressures that rushed the initial plan. This is our chance to pause and ensure that the path forward is the best one for Pleasant Hill, not just the easiest one. Our community and our sensitive natural landscapes are worth the extra effort it takes to get this right.

Respectfully,
Chan Yan-King
