Downtown Mixed-Use, South. The purpose of the Downtown Mixed-Use, South (DMU-S) land use is to encourage an integrated transit-oriented and mixed use neighborhood, extending the ac�vity of City Center across Bollinger Canyon Road with shops, offices, and a diversity of housing opportuni�es set in an urban environment of walkable streets, parks and trails. The intent is to promote a broad mix of uses which incorporates a transi�on of primarily commercial uses adjacent to the freeway and Bollinger Canyon Road, with residen�al uses located behind or above the primary commercial uses in close proximity to transporta�on networks. The allowed density in the DMU-S land use ranges from a minimum of 20 dwelling units per acre to a maximum of 60 dwelling units per acre. Development is generally intended to be more ver�cal in nature and allowance for higher density closer to the arterial roadway, with an appropriate transi�onal buffer adjacent to exis�ng residen�al uses located to the south. Commercial uses (i.e. restaurants and retail) are encouraged along major streets. Development could be stand-alone, ver�cal, or horizontal mixeduse configura�ons. The DMU-S sitewide FAR range is 1.25 to 2.75. • Table 4-5: Revise to add new Downtown Mixed-Use, South General Plan Land Use Designa�on with a Consistent Base Zoning District of DMU-S to the Mixed Use Sec�on • Policy 4.6-I-20: Revise the italic text below the policy with the following highlighted edits:

Through the Development Review process, implement the Downtown Mixed Use-South (DMU-S) zoning district and specifically “The Orchards” project area (formerly Chevron Office Park) consistent with the following elements and as shown in the proposed “The Orchards” Land Use Plan below:

DMU-S Zoning District:
• Up to 2,900 units in the DMU-South project area including “The Orchards” project and portions of Bishop Ranch 1.
• A landscape corridor (a minimum of 60’ with an average of 75’) to serve as a buffer to the exis�ng neighborhood to the south. • Provide connec�vity to the Iron Horse Trail and as an extension of the Walking District.
“The Orchards” project area:
• A variety of housing typologies such as mul�-family apartments, stacked flats, townhomes, single-family homes, and ver�cal mixeduse units. • A minimum of 125,000 sq. �. of new retail/commercial/ entertainment uses.
• Residen�al and nonresiden�al ver�cal mixed-use configura�on closer to Bollinger Canyon Road, including a retail-lined boulevard to the centralized park.
• A centralized park space of approximately 2.5 acres.
• Addi�onal pocket parks with recrea�onal ameni�es and pedestrian pathways, running in a north/south and east/west direc�on, throughout the project area.
• The preserva�on of the site’s heritage oak trees, consistent with City standards and arborists recommenda�ons.

Chevron Park is an existing office area of San Ramon that in late 2022 sold to Sunset Development (Bishop Ranch) and is being evaluated for redevelopment along with the southern portions of Bishop Ranch 1, also owned by Sunset Development. The preliminary vision for the area is to create a pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use community that includes concentrated commercial, residential and recreational uses that are integrated with Bishop Ranch and City Center. The redevelopment vision for the Chevron Park portion of the DMU-South area is now being referred to as “The Orchards” development.

7 In 2017, in response to community concerns, the City Council approved a residential density range modification for the area and directed staff to proceed with a more comprehensive update to: • Remove the Housing Overlay north of Faria Preserve Parkway from the Plan.
• Provide incentives to current property owners to improve their properties.
• Refine the mix of housing and commercial uses to establishing the critical mass of housing needed to support local retail and commercial.
• Remove the extension of Twin Creeks Drive from the Plan. • Rethink the Omega Road and Hooper Drive right-of-way widths. • Integrate biking and walking into the Plan, and emphasis on shared parking and connectivity between smaller projects.
• Provide sufficient land for housing development, consistent with the need to meet the City’s State-mandated Regional Housing Need Assessment (RHNA) allocation.
• Rewrite development standards to be specific, detailed and ready to implement given State preemptions and evolving housing policies. • Allow residential on the first floor and the use of horizontal mixed use where appropriate.
• Integrate the historic aspects of the area in the Plan and Plan name.

In 2018, the City began the process of updating the Plan with the preparation of a series of memos on existing conditions and new State laws with implications for the planning process. Community outreach informed updates to the Plan, including public input gathered at community workshops and study sessions with the Planning Commission and City Council. Through that process, the decision was made to rename the Plan the San Ramon Village Specific Plan, to reflect the role of the area in the City’s history and development.

SCOPE OF THE SPECIFIC PLAN
The San Ramon Village Specific Plan establishes the location, intensity and character of land uses, the circulation pattern and necessary infrastructure improvements to support development, the location and configuration of parks and community facilities within the area, and the implementation actions required to realize the Plan’s objectives.

As such, the Specific Plan provides detailed policy, elaborating on the City’s 2035 General Plan, which is the principal tool that guides growth and development within the City. Because the Specific Plan is also adopted by ordinance, it is the primary land-use regulatory tool for the area, taking precedence over the Zoning Ordinance.

Summary of Opportunities
and Constraints
Key opportunities for achieving the stated objectives include: • The City’s 2035 General Plan has already established public policy for the intensification of the area as a mixed-use district. • There are over 30 acres of vacant and underutilized property within the Plan Area that can support infill development and redevelopment. Since 2006, approximately 20,000 square feet of new non-residential uses have been constructed in the Plan Area, and several property owners are interested in redeveloping their properties.
• Current and foreseeable real estate market conditions appear to be supportive of a range of residential developments including townhouses, apartments and condominiums.
• Areas immediately to the west of the Plan Area have already been developed with medium density housing and the Preserve subdivision in the Northwest Specific Plan Area will construct approximately 600 new homes, providing new rooftops to support the retail base desired in the Plan Area.
• San Ramon Creek and its east-west tributary, which wind through the southern portion of the Plan Area, represent a unique natural amenity that could contribute to the identity and quality of life in the area. Undeveloped portions of the channel and banks might be improved with walking and bicycling trails and open spaces, including the City-owned parcel on the south side of Old Crow Canyon Road.
• The Plan Area has other positive characteristics and features that could contribute to the creation of a unique mixed-use district, including: – Direct access to both the regional and local transportation networks, with a freeway interchange adjacent to the southeast and San Ramon Valley Boulevard, an important north-south arterial running through the area that provides linkages to destinations in San Ramon and other valley communities from Walnut Creek to Pleasanton;
– Old Crow Canyon Road which has the potential to be
transformed into a pedestrian-friendly village street connecting the Village Center with the Creekside park, offices and residences further to the south;

11 – Scenic hills that frame the area to the west and impressive views of Mount Diablo from higher terrain in the Plan Area that can contribute to a distinctive sense of place; and
– Established office and service-commercial businesses that can contribute to the economic vitality of the area
There are several challenges that will need to be addressed to accomplish the project objectives: • Integrating new residential and retail uses into the area while also preserving viable service commercial businesses that are established and wish to remain. This will require strategies for minimizing potential conflicts between uses and creating a cohesive, mixed use district.
• At prominent locations, there are contiguous parcels that are under separate ownership or developable area is constrained by creek setback requirements. Strategies for facilitating lot consolidation will be needed to allow for development at key locations as needed to achieve the vision of the Plan.
• Large blocks and streets sized for the automobile limit connectivity for pedestrians.
• Properties east of San Ramon Valley Boulevard are particularly constrained because of their small area, shallow depth (55 to 185 feet), and location immediately adjacent to I-680.
• Given high construction costs and land values prevalent throughout the Bay Area, affordable housing projects will face financial feasibility constraints.
• Residential redevelopment will have fiscal implications, requiring additional public services and associated costs, and new public open space within the area.
• There is little public land in the area for new open space; the properties designated for open space and parks in the 2035 General Plan are only partially owned by the City, while San Ramon Creek is mostly in private ownership. • Freeway noise in excess of 70 dB will need to be mitigated to support residential development and to create a comfortable pedestrian environment.
• Any creekside trail or open space improvements adjacent to San Ramon Creek and its east-west tributary will need to avoid significant impacts on habitat and wildlife and comply with regulatory agency requirements.

Whereas the Downtown Specific Plan had envisioned large-scale land clearance and high-intensity development, the Conservation and Enhancement Program favored a market responsive approach focused on business retention. The Program called for the creation of a Redevelopment Overlay District with large lot dimensions intended to encourage the consolidation of sites that would otherwise be developed in unrelated increments To implement the Conservation and Enhancement Program, the Redevelopment Overlay and a Planned Development district were applied to portions of the Plan Area. For example, the narrow strip between San Ramon Valley Boulevard and I-680 was rezoned Thoroughfare Commercial-Redevelopment Overlay (CT-R) to provide an incentive for lot consolidation in the form of increased floor-area ratio (FAR) and reduced landscaping.

Pursuant to the 2020 General Plan, adopted in 2002, the Crow Canyon Specific Plan was prepared to guide development in the Crow Canyon area, taking advantage of a Redevelopment Agency owned site at the northwest corner of Deerwood and Omega Roads. After the Plan was adopted in 2006, the onset of the Great Recession and then the dissolution of Redevelopment Agencies by the State stymied implementation of the Plan and today much of its vision remains unrealized, although today the area is again attracting the interest of developers.

LAND USE CONTEXT
The 2035 General Plan designates the vast majority of the Plan Area as Mixed Use, with a range of residential, retail, service, and office uses allowed, and envisions a new park in the southern portion of the Plan Area adjacent to San Ramon Creek. The San Ramon Zoning Ordinance defers to the San Ramon Village Specific Plan, which contains specific zoning regulations and design standards applicable in the Plan Area.

Site Vicinity Land Uses
To the west of the Plan Area lies the Northwest Specific Plan Area, envisioned for development with urban neighborhoods with a variety of housing types, public/semipublic uses and parkland and open space areas. Specific land uses include preservation of open hillside areas and a mix of single-family and multifamily residential uses. Also to the west is the former Crow Canyon Redevelopment Plan/Conservation and Enhancement Program area, where land uses include open space and multifamily residential uses (Pinnacle Crow Canyon, Promontory Pointe, and Stonepine developments) along with commercial retail uses (the Old Mill Commercial Center with a Home Depot and Staples).

To the east of the Plan Area lies I-680 and the Town of Danville (north of Fostoria Way) with residential and office uses. The rest of the eastern surrounding area (south of Deerwood Road) includes other land within the Crow Canyon (AKA San Ramon Village) Planning Subarea containing residential and commercial office/business park-related uses.

27 The Specific Plan strives to balance multiple, and sometimes conflicting objectives in a way that provides a coherent blueprint for the future.

More specifically, the Plan calls for:

The creation of a Village Center that supports successful neighborhood-serving retail in the area and facilitates improvements to showcase San Ramon Creek and its tributary as a natural amenity for the community.

Within the heart of the San Ramon Village district, the Plan seeks to focus near-term development and improvements at the prominent intersection of San Ramon Valley Boulevard and Deerwood Road, where traffic volumes are highest, and where retail has the best chance of success. There are several larger underutilized parcels near this location that could support mixed use development, providing workforce housing to help meet community needs as well as potential customers for retail businesses. This location is already attracting interest from the development community and the intent is to use that momentum to create a village-like node of mixed use residential and retail development here that will catalyze positive change in the Plan Area over the long term. Mixed use development at this location would be in either a horizontal or vertical configuration with base residential densities of up to 35 dwelling units per acre and building heights of up to 5 stories. Individual projects that provide a substantial affordable housing component may qualify for additional bonus density under State law.

The Village Center is envisioned as a distinctive, walkable focal point for the San Ramon Village district. The area will feature attractive design, inviting streetscapes, and a vital mix of uses oriented to the daily needs of local residents. Generous sidewalks and pedestrian paseos will provide easy access to shops, restaurants, and San Ramon Creek. Buildings designed with a variety of materials, colors and architectural features will provide visual interest and heighten the pedestrian experience, while amenities like benches, lighting, public art, and landscaping provided in cut out areas along building frontages will activate the public realm.

West of the node, along Deerwood Road, medium density residential development would be encouraged at densities consistent with existing homes further along Deerwood Road outside of the Plan Area to provide additional rooftops to build the tax base and support community-oriented local retail. Residential densities here would be up to 28 dwelling units per acre and building heights would be up to 3 stories so as to protect views of the surrounding hills, given the higher elevation of the terrain. Housing of similar character and scale is also envisioned in the Ryan Industrial Court area to the south of the node.

North of the node, a Residential Overlay will provide opportunities for additional housing at a density of 22 to 35 dwelling units per acre. the Housing Opportunity Residential designation

The MFR designation is intended to provide opportunities to live within walking and biking distance of shops, services and employment. Typical development in this category is apartments or condominiums two to three stories tall. Maintaining a human scale through quality design and landscaping with access to adjacent parks and creeks is a high priority in these areas. Allowable residential density is between 18 and 28 dwelling units per acre.
• Village Center Mixed Use (VCMU). The Village Center
Mixed Use designation is intended to foster a vibrant mix of residential and non-residential uses—retail, restaurant, service, office, lodging, and/or cultural amenities—in a pedestrian and bicycle-friendly village center at the core of the SRVSP area.

The VCMU designation allows for high-intensity mixed use development with an FAR of between 0.5 and 1.25 for nonresidential uses. Minimum residential density is 30 dwelling units per acre and maximum residential density is 35 dwelling units per acre prior to application of any State density bonus. On properties with a developable area of 70,000 square feet or more, a mix of uses is required; on smaller sites, a single use may be permitted. While horizontal mixed use (different uses on the same parcel but not in the same building), is allowed, vertical mixed use with residential or office uses over more active ground floor pedestrian-oriented commercial, service or retail uses is strongly encouraged, as is the provision of workforce housing. Live-work units, as a mixed use option, should be considered based on the site conditions, location, and viability of the site for more traditional retail and commercial options. High quality design that maintains a human scale, orients development to creekside open space, and integrates bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure and amenities is a priority in this designation.

Residential Overlay (RO). This land use overlay is applied to properties designated asCommercial/Service Commercial (C/ SC) and Production, Distribution and Repair (PDR) north of Faria Preserve Parkway. It is intended to allow for future infill and intensification of underutilized properties in a way that minimizes impacts on existing businesses and that can lead to the creation of a cohesive mixed-use district. Within this area, residential development is allowed on assembled sites greater than 1.5 acres, subject to livability conditions intended to mitigate potential conflicts between the new residential development and existing nonresidential uses. Residential development within this designation is limited to a minimum density of 22 dwelling units per acre and a maximum density of 35 dwelling units per acre.

Additional ancillary commercial uses are also allowed on the ground floor up to a maximum 0.40
FAR. Buildings are required
to be oriented to public or publicly accessible streets to promote a pedestrian-friendly environment.

4.2 Density, Intensity and Height Standards
Table 4-0 summarizes the density, intensity, and height standards for each land use designation. For all development, density/FAR is specified as a range within which all development must fall. Maximum intensities shown in Table 4-0 may not be attainable on all sites, as development regulations (e.g., building height limits or development standards) or site conditions may reduce development potential. On all sites throughout the Plan Area, intensities can be averaged over multiple contiguous parcels for an individual project to accommodate areas of high-intensity development, open space, and other amenities.

4.5 Development Standards
The San Ramon Village Specific Plan is implemented through policies and development standards listed in this Plan. Tables 4-2 through 4-5 outline the specific development standards for each district within the Plan Area. Figure 4-0 Land Use Diagram shows a map of the districts within the Plan Area. These tables and text elaborate on the key development standards for each district and the following section includes design guidelines for development within the Plan Area. The development standards serve as the zoning for the area and supersede development standards in the San Ramon Zoning Ordinance. The Development Standards applicable to the Multiple Family Residential (MFR) District shall apply to any residential development proposed to be constructed outside of the Village Center Mixed-Use (VCMU) District or the Multiple Family Residential (MFR) District. This shall include the Development Standards included in Table 4-4, Building Development Standards: Multiple Family Residential (MFR) and Residential Overlay (RO); Figure 4-5: Multiple Family Residential MFR) and Residential Overlay (RO) District Building Development Standards; and the Design Standards included for the Multiple Family Residential (MFR) and Residential Overlay (RO) District regarding Building Articulation, Windows, Materials, Screening, Landscaping and Signage. Where specific standards are not listed within this Plan, the applicable sections of the Zoning Ordinance will regulate development. Permitted, conditionally permitted and prohibited uses for each district are included within applicable sections of Appendix A and the Zoning Ordinance.

Projects within the Plan Area are subject to Architectural Review in accordance with Chapter D6-22 of the City’s Zoning Ordinance.

Certain residential and mixed use projects which offer housing units at levels affordable for low and very low income households may be subject to a streamlined approval process in accordance with Senate Bill 35 if they satisfy the objective development standards outlined below.

PUBLIC REALM
The following development standards for streetscapes in the VCMU designation are intended to provide a comprehensive streetscape scheme that addresses right-of-way elements such as sidewalk width, landscaping, street furniture, lighting and signage. Standards are presented in Table 4-2 and keyed to illustrative streetscapes shown in Figures 4-3a through 4-3c.

This section lays out Design Guidelines that complement the mandatory development standards listed in the previous section. The Design Guidelines provide more general direction on intended design features and shall form the basis for project design review. The Design Guidelines applicable to the Multiple Family Residential (MFR) and Residential Overlay (RO) District shall apply to any residential development proposed to be constructed outside of the Village Center Mixed-Use (VCMU) District, the Multiple Family Residential (MFR), or the Residential Overlay (RO) District.

BUILDING DESIGN
DG-1 Adjacent buildings and buildings on the same block should exhibit variation in height and massing.

DG-2 Corner buildings should have distinct architectural features and defined building entrances at the corner to animate the intersection and facilitate pedestrian flow.

GROUND LEVEL USES
DG-3 Ground floor spaces should be designed to accommodate a variety of uses, for instance by providing spaces of
sufficient sizes and equipping with the necessary building infrastructure like gas lines, ventilation, water hook-ups, etc., to accommodate food service establishments.

DG-4 Outdoor dining areas are encouraged on Retail Frontage Streets and along pedestrian connections. Outdoor seating areas may be accommodated within building setbacks as
part of the business frontage zone (see guidelines for streets and streetscape).

DG-5 Commercial establishments should be designed to
complement the pedestrian oriented nature of the
neighborhood centers and the scale of the neighborhood.

Larger establishments (including stores and supermarkets) are encouraged to the extent that they are designed with a pedestrian orientation.

OPEN SPACE AND LANDSCAPING
DG-6 Spaces should be designed to balance privacy and safety with air and sunlight access. This can be achieved by prioritizing south facing open space opportunities and designing
balconies with slatted or otherwise partially transparent grating or railing.

5.2 Schools
All new residential development in the Plan Area is anticipated to be multi-family housing (such as apartments, townhomes, and condominiums), which typically has a lower student generation rate than single-family homes. As part of the development review process, the San Ramon Valley Unified School District (SRVUSD) determines student generation rates to assess capacity and set development impact fees. Based on this student generation rate, the Plan does not anticipate the need for new schools in the Plan Area. Instead, new residential development will send students to existing schools elsewhere in the San Ramon Valley Unified School District.

OBJECTIVE CF-2:

Provide adequate public schools for residents of the San Ramon Village Specific Plan Area.
• Policy CF-2.1: Require that new development contribute school impact mitigation fees.

Senate Bill 50 (1998) requires new residential development to contribute school impact mitigation fees.

Chapter 8: Implementation
The Specific Plan is generally consistent with the 2035 General Plan’s land use diagram, objectives and policies, but varies in its details in order to create appropriate incentives.

Land Use Diagram: With the exception of the proposed park, the whole of the Plan Area is designated Mixed Use in General Plan 2035, where an integrated mix of residential and non-residential uses is envisioned. The Mixed Use designation allows for non-residential development (retail, service, office) at intensities of up to 0.70 FAR, with residential densities in the range of 14-30 dwelling units per acre. The land use diagram of the Specific Plan divides the area into six districts and two overlays (the Creek Riparian Zone and Residential Overlay), and permits mixed uses in the Village Center Mixed-Use (VCMU), Business Mixed Use (BMU), Commercial/Service Commercial (C/SC), and Production, Distribution and Repair (PDR) districts. The Specific Plan permits somewhat higher intensities and densities of development than the General Plan for two reasons: (1) to create meaningful incentives for developers to aggregate parcels and redevelop existing uses; and (2) to create a critical mass of residents and tenants to support an active mixed-use district and satisfy State requirements for housing affordability.

Objectives and Policies: Policy 4.7-I-2 states: “Ensure new development within the Plan Area is consistent with the adopted San Ramon Village Specific Plan and pursue future opportunities to update the Plan as needed to address the changing market opportunities and land use, infrastructure, and finance needs based on post RDA conditions.” The San Ramon Village Specific Plan satisfies the General Plan’s requirements for housing (including workforce housing), non-residential floor area, infrastructure improvements and this implementation program.

The Specific Plan’s policies and regulations accomplish the objectives of the General Plan by:
• Providing opportunities for the redevelopment of appropriate sites with a dense mix of housing in proximity to services within walkable distance.
• Setting requirements and providing incentives for residential projects to incorporate significant numbers of affordable housing units, consistent with applicable provisions of the San Ramon Municipal Code and Zoning Ordinance. Also, requirements for parking – which is a major development expense – are reduced for affordable housing and mixed-use projects.
• Making a significant contribution to the City’s stock of affordable housing by creating opportunities for housing and affordable units in compliance with the Inclusionary Housing and Affordable Housing Commercial Linkage Fee Ordinances.
• Supporting viable existing service commercial uses that wish to remain and preventing them from becoming nuisances by requiring new development to build suitable noise and visual barriers and buffers.

Division D2 – Allowable Land Uses and Zone Standards – Effective February 28, 2020 2-3 Chapter I - Development and Land Use Approval Requirements Sections:

D2-1 - Purpose
D2-2 - General Requirements for Development and New Land Uses D2-3 - Allowable Land Uses and Permit Requirements
D2-4 - Exemptions from Land Use Permit Requirements
D2-5 - Temporary Uses
D2-1 - Purpose
This Chapter describes the City’s general requirements for the approval of proposed development and new land uses. The permit requirements established by this Zoning Ordinance for specific land uses are in Chapters D2-III through D2-V.

D2-2 - General Requirements for Development and New Land Uses Each land use and/or structure shall be established, constructed, reconstructed, altered, moved or replaced in compliance with the following requirements.

A. Allowable use. The land use shall be allowed by this Zoning Ordinance in the zone applied to the site. The basis for determining whether a use is allowable is described in Section D2-3 (Allowable Land Uses and Permit Requirements).

B. Permit and approval requirements. Any land use permit or other approval required by Section D2- 3 (Allowable Land Uses and Permit Requirements) shall be obtained before the issuance of any required grading, building, or other construction permit, and before the proposed use is constructed, otherwise established or put into operation, unless the proposed use is listed in Section D2-4 (Exemptions from Land Use Permit Requirements).

C. Development standards, conditions of approval. Each land use and structure shall comply with the development standards of this Chapter, the provisions of Division D3 (Site Planning and Project Design Standards), and any applicable conditions imposed by a previously granted land use permit.

D. Legal parcel. The site of a proposed development or new land use shall be a parcel that was legally created in compliance with the Subdivision Map Act and the City’s Subdivision Ordinance.

D2-3 - Allowable Land Uses and Permit Requirements
A. Allowable land uses. The uses of land allowed by this Zoning Ordinance in each zone are listed in Chapters D2-II, D2-III, D2-IV, and D2-V (Tables 2-1, 2-6, 2-8, 2-11, 2-12, 2-14, and 2-15, respectively), together with the type of land use permit required for each use. Each land use listed in Tables 2-1, 2-6, 2-8, 2-11, 2-12, 2-14, and 2-15 is defined in Division D8 (Glossary).

1. Establishment of an allowable use.

Division D2 – Allowable Land Uses and Zone Standards – Effective February 28, 2020 2-4
a. Any one or more land uses identified by Tables 2-1, 2-6, 2-8, 2-11, 2-12, 2-14, and 2-15 as being allowable within a specific zone may be established on any parcel within that zone, subject to the land use permit requirements of Subsection B, and compliance with all applicable requirements of this Zoning Ordinance.
b. Where a single parcel is proposed for development with two or more of the land uses listed in the tables, the overall project shall be subject to the highest permit level required by Subsection B. for any individual use. For example, a new building proposed in the OA zone with a bank on the ground floor and professional offices on the second floor would require Minor Use Permit (MUP) approval because Table 2-8 requires Minor Use Permit approval for "banks and financial services," even though an "Office - Professional" is listed in the OA zone as a permitted use, requiring only a Zoning Clearance.

2. Use not listed. A land use that is not listed in Tables 2-1, 2-6, 2-8, 2-11, 2-12, 2-14, and 2-15, and is determined by the Zoning Administrator to not be included in Division D8 (Glossary) under the definition of a listed land use, is not allowed within the City, except as otherwise provided in Subsection A.3, or Section D2-4 (Exemptions from Land Use Permit Requirements).

3. Similar and compatible use may be allowed. The Zoning Administrator may determine that a proposed use not listed in this Division is allowable as follows:
a. Required findings. The Zoning Administrator may determine that a proposed use is similar to and compatible with a listed use and may be allowed, only after first making all of the following findings:
(1) The characteristics of, and activities associated with the use are similar to one or more of the listed uses, and will not involve a greater intensity than the uses listed in the zone;
(2) The use will be consistent with the purposes of the applicable zone; (3) The use will be consistent with the General Plan and any applicable Specific Plan; (4) The use will be compatible with the other uses allowed in the zone; and (5) The use is not listed as allowable in another zone.

A determination that a use qualifies as a “similar use” and the findings supporting the determination shall be in writing.
b. Applicable standards and permit requirements. When the Zoning Administrator determines that a proposed, but unlisted, use is similar to a listed use, the proposed use will be treated in the same manner as the listed use in determining where it is allowed, what permits are required, and what other standards and requirements of this Zoning Ordinance apply.
c. Referral for determination. The Zoning Administrator may refer the question of whether a proposed use qualifies as a similar and compatible use directly to the Commission for a determination at a public meeting.
d. Appeal. A determination of similar and compatible use may be appealed in compliance with Chapter D7-II (Appeals and Calls for Review).

B. By-right approval. Owner occupied and rental multi-family residential developments that have 20 percent of the units reserved for lower-income households shall be allowed by-right pursuant to California Government Code Section 65583.2. The phrase “by-right” shall mean that the City's review of owner-occupied or multifamily residential use may not require a conditional use permit, planned

A request for a waiver or reduction of development standards shall be accompanied by documentation demonstrating that the waiver or reduction is physically necessary to construct the housing development with the additional density allowed pursuant to the density bonus and incorporating any incentives or concessions required to be granted. The City shall approve a waiver or reduction of a development standard, unless it finds that:
a. The application of the development standard does not have the effect of physically precluding the construction of a housing development at the density allowed by the density bonus and with the incentives or concessions granted to the applicant; b. The waiver or reduction of the development standard would have a specific, adverse impact, as defined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of § 65589.5, upon health, safety, or the physical environment, and for which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact;
c. The waiver or reduction of the development standard would have an adverse impact on any real property that is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources; or d. The waiver or reduction of the development standard would be contrary to state or federal law.

6. Fee. Payment of the processing fee in an amount set by resolution of the City Council to reimburse the City for staff time spent reviewing and processing the density bonus application submitted pursuant to this Chapter.

D4-80 – Density Bonus Housing Agreement
A. Density Bonus Housing Agreement. For all housing projects receiving a density bonus, incentive(s), concession(s) and/or waiver(s) under this Chapter, a density bonus housing agreement shall be entered into by the City and applicant/property owner. The density bonus housing agreement shall be made a condition of the discretionary planning permits for all housing developments pursuant to this Chapter and shall be recorded as a deed restriction on any parcel on which the residential units will be constructed.

B. Recording of Agreement. The density bonus housing agreement shall be recorded prior to the final or parcel map approval, or, where a map is not being processed, prior to the issuance of a building permit for any structure in the housing development.

D5-1 - Purpose
This Chapter provides standards for the protection and preservation of hillside, creek, and ridgeline areas.

The purpose of this Chapter is to:

1. Preserve significant features of hillsides, creeks, and ridgeline areas in essentially their natural state;

2. Preserve existing vegetation, soils, geology, slopes, and drainage patterns;

3. Preserve the natural topography, including swales, canyons, knolls, ridgelines, and rock outcrops, wherever feasible;

4. Minimize grading and cut and fill practices to retain the natural terrain and character of the hillsides and ridgelines;

5. Avoid development that would result in unacceptable fire, flood, slide, or other safety hazards;

6. Avoid unwarranted, high maintenance costs for public facilities;

7. Provide a mechanism for flexible design of development projects so that development may be clustered to allow environmentally sensitive areas to be preserved as open space;

8. Encourage design of street systems and driveways that blend with the natural contours and minimize extensive grading; and

9. Provide adequate buffer areas between creek corridors and adjacent development, to retain the creek corridors as valuable natural, scenic, and recreational amenities as appropriate.

Definitions of technical terms and phrases used in this Section may be found in Division D8 (Glossary) under “Resource Management.”

The provisions of this Chapter shall not apply to:

1. The Built Urban Land as identified in General Plan Figure 8-3 (Resource Management), except for creek setback regulations.

D5-4 - Hillside, Creek, and Ridgeline Area Development Standards A. Development standards. Development proposed within the Hillside, Creek, and Ridgeline Areas shall comply with the development standards of the primary zone, except as follows.

1. Density. The density on all developable and undevelopable land shall be limited to the following densities based upon the existing natural slope as determined by the method described in Section D5-6 (Slope Methodology).

Note: (1) Densities may be averaged over the project site (Within these density ranges, units may be transferred so as to create a relatively even density gradient from higher density on 10 percent slopes to lower density on 20 percent slopes, without increasing the total number of units.)
Densities on undevelopable land may be exercised only upon transfer to developable land.

Undevelopable land is defined by Zoning Ordinance
Division D8 (Glossary) as:
a. Land with an existing, natural slope in excess of 20 percent with a minimum elevation differential of 40 feet and a minimum contiguous area of three acres; or b. Riparian corridors or associated vegetated areas of creeks, intermittent streams, perennial streams, or lakes.

Slope Density

Purposes of New Mixed-Use Zones – Alternative
The purposes of the individual Mixed-Use zones and the manner in which they are applied are as follows:

A. MUX (Mixed-Use, Commercial Emphasis) Zone. The purpose of the Mixed‐Use, Commercial Emphasis (MUX) zone is to provide areas for an integrated neighborhood, primarily to enhance existing and promote new commercial uses (retail and/or office) with complementary residential uses. A density range of 20 to 40 dwelling units per acre allows a variety of residential housing types located along street frontages. The MUX zone envisions commercial uses (retail and/or office) as the primary use along street frontages, with residential uses located behind or above the primary commercial uses. Development could be stand‐alone, vertical, or horizontal mixed‐use configurations. Within the MUX zone, nonresidential FAR minimums are established to maintain retail square footage.

B. MUR (Mixed-Use, Residential Emphasis) Zone. The purpose of the Mixed‐Use, Residential Emphasis (MUR) zone is to provide areas for an integrated neighborhood, with a combination of primarily residential uses mixed with complementary office and commercial uses. The MUR zone provides housing infill opportunities on existing small and mid‐size office and service commercial parcels. A density range of 20 to 40 dwelling units per acre allows a variety of residential housing types located along street frontages. Development can be stand‐alone, vertical, or horizontal mixed‐use configurations. Within the MUR zone, residential FAR minimums are established to maintain and encourage residential development within this zone.

C. DMU-N (Downtown Mixed-Use, North) Zone. The purpose of the Downtown Mixed‐Use, North (DMU‐N) zone is to encourage an integrated neighborhood of commercial and residential uses within the Core area of San Ramon. The intent is to incorporate new residential uses in the existing office setting with pedestrian‐friendly streetscapes, open spaces, and trails connecting to the Iron Horse Trail and City Center. Residential uses are located adjacent to the street and complementary offices, services, and goods in close proximity to transportation networks. The allowed density in the DMU-N zone ranges from a minimum of 20 dwelling units per acre to a maximum of 60 dwelling units per acre. Development is generally intended to be vertical in nature with residential entryways taking advantage of the City’s Walking District, and allowance for higher density.

Development can be vertical mixed use or stand‐alone residential in proximity to nearby commercial uses with a horizontal mixed‐use configuration.

D. DMU-S (Downtown Mixed-Use, South) Zone. The purpose of the Downtown Mixed‐Use, South (DMU‐S) zone is to encourage an integrated transit-oriented and mixed use neighborhood, extending the activity of City Center across Bollinger Canyon Road with shops, offices, and a

Packet Pg. 627 Attachment: B. Resolution No. 2023-133, Approving the General Plan 2040 Project, with Exhibits 1 through 5 (2023-42 : Draft General Plan 2040 Chapter XX New Mixed-Use Zones – Alternative
4 diversity of housing opportunities set in an urban environment of walkable streets, parks and trails.

The intent is to promote a broad mix of uses which incorporates a transition of primarily commercial uses adjacent to the freeway and Bollinger Canyon Road, with residential uses located behind or above the primary commercial uses in close proximity to transportation networks. The allowed density in the DMU-S zone ranges from a minimum of 20 dwelling units per acre to a maximum of 60 dwelling units per acre. Development is generally intended to be more vertical in nature and allowance for higher density closer to the arterial roadway, with an appropriate transitional buffer adjacent to existing residential uses located to the south. Commercial uses (i.e. restaurants and retail) are encouraged along major streets. Development could be stand-alone, vertical, or horizontal mixed-use configurations.

Division D2 – Allowable Land Uses and Zone Standards – Effective February 28, 2020 2-3 Chapter I - Development and Land Use Approval Requirements Sections:

D2-1 - Purpose
D2-2 - General Requirements for Development and New Land Uses D2-3 - Allowable Land Uses and Permit Requirements
D2-4 - Exemptions from Land Use Permit Requirements
D2-5 - Temporary Uses
D2-1 - Purpose
This Chapter describes the City’s general requirements for the approval of proposed development and new land uses. The permit requirements established by this Zoning Ordinance for specific land uses are in Chapters D2-III through D2-V.

D2-2 - General Requirements for Development and New Land Uses Each land use and/or structure shall be established, constructed, reconstructed, altered, moved or replaced in compliance with the following requirements.

A. Allowable use. The land use shall be allowed by this Zoning Ordinance in the zone applied to the site. The basis for determining whether a use is allowable is described in Section D2-3 (Allowable Land Uses and Permit Requirements).

B. Permit and approval requirements. Any land use permit or other approval required by Section D2- 3 (Allowable Land Uses and Permit Requirements) shall be obtained before the issuance of any required grading, building, or other construction permit, and before the proposed use is constructed, otherwise established or put into operation, unless the proposed use is listed in Section D2-4 (Exemptions from Land Use Permit Requirements).

C. Development standards, conditions of approval. Each land use and structure shall comply with the development standards of this Chapter, the provisions of Division D3 (Site Planning and Project Design Standards), and any applicable conditions imposed by a previously granted land use permit.

D. Legal parcel. The site of a proposed development or new land use shall be a parcel that was legally created in compliance with the Subdivision Map Act and the City’s Subdivision Ordinance.

D2-3 - Allowable Land Uses and Permit Requirements
A. Allowable land uses. The uses of land allowed by this Zoning Ordinance in each zone are listed in Chapters D2-II, D2-III, D2-IV, and D2-V (Tables 2-1, 2-6, 2-8, 2-11, 2-12, 2-14, and 2-15, respectively), together with the type of land use permit required for each use. Each land use listed in Tables 2-1, 2-6, 2-8, 2-11, 2-12, 2-14, and 2-15 is defined in Division D8 (Glossary).

1. Establishment of an allowable use.

Packet Pg. 672 Attachment: C. Ordinance 522, Repealing the North Camino Ramon Specific Plan Development Standards & Zoning Regulations for the Plan Development and Land Use Approval Requirements D2
Division D2 – Allowable Land Uses and Zone Standards – Effective February 28, 2020 2-4
a. Any one or more land uses identified by Tables 2-1, 2-6, 2-8, 2-11, 2-12, 2-14, and 2-15 as being allowable within a specific zone may be established on any parcel within that zone, subject to the land use permit requirements of Subsection B, and compliance with all applicable requirements of this Zoning Ordinance.
b. Where a single parcel is proposed for development with two or more of the land uses listed in the tables, the overall project shall be subject to the highest permit level required by Subsection B. for any individual use. For example, a new building proposed in the OA zone with a bank on the ground floor and professional offices on the second floor would require Minor Use Permit (MUP) approval because Table 2-8 requires Minor Use Permit approval for "banks and financial services," even though an "Office - Professional" is listed in the OA zone as a permitted use, requiring only a Zoning Clearance.

2. Use not listed. A land use that is not listed in Tables 2-1, 2-6, 2-8, 2-11, 2-12, 2-14, and 2-15, and is determined by the Zoning Administrator to not be included in Division D8 (Glossary) under the definition of a listed land use, is not allowed within the City, except as otherwise provided in Subsection A.3, or Section D2-4 (Exemptions from Land Use Permit Requirements).

3. Similar and compatible use may be allowed. The Zoning Administrator may determine that a proposed use not listed in this Division is allowable as follows:
a. Required findings. The Zoning Administrator may determine that a proposed use is similar to and compatible with a listed use and may be allowed, only after first making all of the following findings:
(1) The characteristics of, and activities associated with the use are similar to one or more of the listed uses, and will not involve a greater intensity than the uses listed in the zone;
(2) The use will be consistent with the purposes of the applicable zone; (3) The use will be consistent with the General Plan and any applicable Specific Plan; (4) The use will be compatible with the other uses allowed in the zone; and (5) The use is not listed as allowable in another zone.

A determination that a use qualifies as a “similar use” and the findings supporting the determination shall be in writing.
b. Applicable standards and permit requirements. When the Zoning Administrator determines that a proposed, but unlisted, use is similar to a listed use, the proposed use will be treated in the same manner as the listed use in determining where it is allowed, what permits are required, and what other standards and requirements of this Zoning Ordinance apply.
c. Referral for determination. The Zoning Administrator may refer the question of whether a proposed use qualifies as a similar and compatible use directly to the Commission for a determination at a public meeting.
d. Appeal. A determination of similar and compatible use may be appealed in compliance with Chapter D7-II (Appeals and Calls for Review).

B. By-right approval. Owner occupied and rental multi-family residential developments that have 20 percent of the units reserved for lower-income households shall be allowed by-right pursuant to California Government Code Section 65583.2. The phrase “by-right” shall mean that the City's review of owner-occupied or multifamily residential use may not require a conditional use permit, planned

Purposes of New Mixed-Use Zones – Alternative
The purposes of the individual Mixed-Use zones and the manner in which they are applied are as follows:

A. MUX (Mixed-Use, Commercial Emphasis) Zone. The purpose of the Mixed‐Use, Commercial Emphasis (MUX) zone is to provide areas for an integrated neighborhood, primarily to enhance existing and promote new commercial uses (retail and/or office) with complementary residential uses. A density range of 20 to 40 dwelling units per acre allows a variety of residential housing types located along street frontages. The MUX zone envisions commercial uses (retail and/or office) as the primary use along street frontages, with residential uses located behind or above the primary commercial uses. Development could be stand‐alone, vertical, or horizontal mixed‐use configurations. Within the MUX zone, nonresidential FAR minimums are established to maintain retail square footage.

B. MUR (Mixed-Use, Residential Emphasis) Zone. The purpose of the Mixed‐Use, Residential Emphasis (MUR) zone is to provide areas for an integrated neighborhood, with a combination of primarily residential uses mixed with complementary office and commercial uses. The MUR zone provides housing infill opportunities on existing small and mid‐size office and service commercial parcels. A density range of 20 to 40 dwelling units per acre allows a variety of residential housing types located along street frontages. Development can be stand‐alone, vertical, or horizontal mixed‐use configurations. Within the MUR zone, residential FAR minimums are established to maintain and encourage residential development within this zone.

C. DMU-N (Downtown Mixed-Use, North) Zone. The purpose of the Downtown Mixed‐Use, North (DMU‐N) zone is to encourage an integrated neighborhood of commercial and residential uses within the Core area of San Ramon. The intent is to incorporate new residential uses in the existing office setting with pedestrian‐friendly streetscapes, open spaces, and trails connecting to the Iron Horse Trail and City Center. Residential uses are located adjacent to the street and complementary offices, services, and goods in close proximity to transportation networks. The allowed density in the DMU-N zone ranges from a minimum of 20 dwelling units per acre to a maximum of 60 dwelling units per acre. Development is generally intended to be vertical in nature with residential entryways taking advantage of the City’s Walking District, and allowance for higher density.

Development can be vertical mixed use or stand‐alone residential in proximity to nearby commercial uses with a horizontal mixed‐use configuration.

D. DMU-S (Downtown Mixed-Use, South) Zone. The purpose of the Downtown Mixed‐Use, South (DMU‐S) zone is to encourage an integrated transit-oriented and mixed use neighborhood, extending the activity of City Center across Bollinger Canyon Road with shops, offices, and a

5.9.c
Packet Pg. 697 Attachment: C. Ordinance 522, Repealing the North Camino Ramon Specific Plan Development Standards & Zoning Regulations for the Plan Chapter XX New Mixed-Use Zones – Alternative
4 diversity of housing opportunities set in an urban environment of walkable streets, parks and trails.

The intent is to promote a broad mix of uses which incorporates a transition of primarily commercial uses adjacent to the freeway and Bollinger Canyon Road, with residential uses located behind or above the primary commercial uses in close proximity to transportation networks. The allowed density in the DMU-S zone ranges from a minimum of 20 dwelling units per acre to a maximum of 60 dwelling units per acre. Development is generally intended to be more vertical in nature and allowance for higher density closer to the arterial roadway, with an appropriate transitional buffer adjacent to existing residential uses located to the south. Commercial uses (i.e. restaurants and retail) are encouraged along major streets. Development could be stand-alone, vertical, or horizontal mixed-use configurations.

7 In 2017, in response to community concerns, the City Council approved a residential density range modification for the area and directed staff to proceed with a more comprehensive update to: • Remove the Housing Overlay north of Faria Preserve Parkway from the Plan.
• Provide incentives to current property owners to improve their properties.
• Refine the mix of housing and commercial uses to establishing the critical mass of housing needed to support local retail and commercial.
• Remove the extension of Twin Creeks Drive from the Plan. • Rethink the Omega Road and Hooper Drive right-of-way widths. • Integrate biking and walking into the Plan, and emphasis on shared parking and connectivity between smaller projects.
• Provide sufficient land for housing development, consistent with the need to meet the City’s State-mandated Regional Housing Need Assessment (RHNA) allocation.
• Rewrite development standards to be specific, detailed and ready to implement given State preemptions and evolving housing policies. • Allow residential on the first floor and the use of horizontal mixed use where appropriate.
• Integrate the historic aspects of the area in the Plan and Plan name.

In 2018, the City began the process of updating the Plan with the preparation of a series of memos on existing conditions and new State laws with implications for the planning process. Community outreach informed updates to the Plan, including public input gathered at community workshops and study sessions with the Planning Commission and City Council. Through that process, the decision was made to rename the Plan the San Ramon Village Specific Plan, to reflect the role of the area in the City’s history and development.

SCOPE OF THE SPECIFIC PLAN
The San Ramon Village Specific Plan establishes the location, intensity and character of land uses, the circulation pattern and necessary infrastructure improvements to support development, the location and configuration of parks and community facilities within the area, and the implementation actions required to realize the Plan’s objectives.

As such, the Specific Plan provides detailed policy, elaborating on the City’s 2035 General Plan, which is the principal tool that guides growth and development within the City. Because the Specific Plan is also adopted by ordinance, it is the primary land-use regulatory tool for the area, taking precedence over the Zoning Ordinance.

Packet Pg. 708 Attachment: D. Ordinance 523, Amending the San Ramon Village Specific Plan Development Standards and Zoning Regulations for the Plan 10 Chapter 1: Plan Overview
Summary of Opportunities
and Constraints
Key opportunities for achieving the stated objectives include: • The City’s 2035 General Plan has already established public policy for the intensification of the area as a mixed-use district. • There are over 30 acres of vacant and underutilized property within the Plan Area that can support infill development and redevelopment. Since 2006, approximately 20,000 square feet of new non-residential uses have been constructed in the Plan Area, and several property owners are interested in redeveloping their properties.
• Current and foreseeable real estate market conditions appear to be supportive of a range of residential developments including townhouses, apartments and condominiums.
• Areas immediately to the west of the Plan Area have already been developed with medium density housing and the Preserve subdivision in the Northwest Specific Plan Area will construct approximately 600 new homes, providing new rooftops to support the retail base desired in the Plan Area.
• San Ramon Creek and its east-west tributary, which wind through the southern portion of the Plan Area, represent a unique natural amenity that could contribute to the identity and quality of life in the area. Undeveloped portions of the channel and banks might be improved with walking and bicycling trails and open spaces, including the City-owned parcel on the south side of Old Crow Canyon Road.
• The Plan Area has other positive characteristics and features that could contribute to the creation of a unique mixed-use district, including: – Direct access to both the regional and local transportation networks, with a freeway interchange adjacent to the southeast and San Ramon Valley Boulevard, an important north-south arterial running through the area that provides linkages to destinations in San Ramon and other valley communities from Walnut Creek to Pleasanton;
– Old Crow Canyon Road which has the potential to be
transformed into a pedestrian-friendly village street connecting the Village Center with the Creekside park, offices and residences further to the south;

11 – Scenic hills that frame the area to the west and impressive views of Mount Diablo from higher terrain in the Plan Area that can contribute to a distinctive sense of place; and
– Established office and service-commercial businesses that can contribute to the economic vitality of the area
There are several challenges that will need to be addressed to accomplish the project objectives: • Integrating new residential and retail uses into the area while also preserving viable service commercial businesses that are established and wish to remain. This will require strategies for minimizing potential conflicts between uses and creating a cohesive, mixed use district.
• At prominent locations, there are contiguous parcels that are under separate ownership or developable area is constrained by creek setback requirements. Strategies for facilitating lot consolidation will be needed to allow for development at key locations as needed to achieve the vision of the Plan.
• Large blocks and streets sized for the automobile limit connectivity for pedestrians.
• Properties east of San Ramon Valley Boulevard are particularly constrained because of their small area, shallow depth (55 to 185 feet), and location immediately adjacent to I-680.
• Given high construction costs and land values prevalent throughout the Bay Area, affordable housing projects will face financial feasibility constraints.
• Residential redevelopment will have fiscal implications, requiring additional public services and associated costs, and new public open space within the area.
• There is little public land in the area for new open space; the properties designated for open space and parks in the 2035 General Plan are only partially owned by the City, while San Ramon Creek is mostly in private ownership. • Freeway noise in excess of 70 dB will need to be mitigated to support residential development and to create a comfortable pedestrian environment.
• Any creekside trail or open space improvements adjacent to San Ramon Creek and its east-west tributary will need to avoid significant impacts on habitat and wildlife and comply with regulatory agency requirements.

Packet Pg. 710 Attachment: D. Ordinance 523, Amending the San Ramon Village Specific Plan Development Standards and Zoning Regulations for the Plan 16 Chapter 2: Summary of Existing Conditions
Whereas the Downtown Specific Plan had envisioned large-scale land clearance and high-intensity development, the Conservation and Enhancement Program favored a market responsive approach focused on business retention. The Program called for the creation of a Redevelopment Overlay District with large lot dimensions intended to encourage the consolidation of sites that would otherwise be developed in unrelated increments To implement the Conservation and Enhancement Program, the Redevelopment Overlay and a Planned Development district were applied to portions of the Plan Area. For example, the narrow strip between San Ramon Valley Boulevard and I-680 was rezoned Thoroughfare Commercial-Redevelopment Overlay (CT-R) to provide an incentive for lot consolidation in the form of increased floor-area ratio (FAR) and reduced landscaping.

Pursuant to the 2020 General Plan, adopted in 2002, the Crow Canyon Specific Plan was prepared to guide development in the Crow Canyon area, taking advantage of a Redevelopment Agency owned site at the northwest corner of Deerwood and Omega Roads. After the Plan was adopted in 2006, the onset of the Great Recession and then the dissolution of Redevelopment Agencies by the State stymied implementation of the Plan and today much of its vision remains unrealized, although today the area is again attracting the interest of developers.

LAND USE CONTEXT
The 2035 General Plan designates the vast majority of the Plan Area as Mixed Use, with a range of residential, retail, service, and office uses allowed, and envisions a new park in the southern portion of the Plan Area adjacent to San Ramon Creek. The San Ramon Zoning Ordinance defers to the San Ramon Village Specific Plan, which contains specific zoning regulations and design standards applicable in the Plan Area.

Site Vicinity Land Uses
To the west of the Plan Area lies the Northwest Specific Plan Area, envisioned for development with urban neighborhoods with a variety of housing types, public/semipublic uses and parkland and open space areas. Specific land uses include preservation of open hillside areas and a mix of single-family and multifamily residential uses. Also to the west is the former Crow Canyon Redevelopment Plan/Conservation and Enhancement Program area, where land uses include open space and multifamily residential uses (Pinnacle Crow Canyon, Promontory Pointe, and Stonepine developments) along with commercial retail uses (the Old Mill Commercial Center with a Home Depot and Staples).

To the east of the Plan Area lies I-680 and the Town of Danville (north of Fostoria Way) with residential and office uses. The rest of the eastern surrounding area (south of Deerwood Road) includes other land within the Crow Canyon (AKA San Ramon Village) Planning Subarea containing residential and commercial office/business park-related uses.

27 The Specific Plan strives to balance multiple, and sometimes conflicting objectives in a way that provides a coherent blueprint for the future.

More specifically, the Plan calls for:

The creation of a Village Center that supports successful neighborhood-serving retail in the area and facilitates improvements to showcase San Ramon Creek and its tributary as a natural amenity for the community.

Within the heart of the San Ramon Village district, the Plan seeks to focus near-term development and improvements at the prominent intersection of San Ramon Valley Boulevard and Deerwood Road, where traffic volumes are highest, and where retail has the best chance of success. There are several larger underutilized parcels near this location that could support mixed use development, providing workforce housing to help meet community needs as well as potential customers for retail businesses. This location is already attracting interest from the development community and the intent is to use that momentum to create a village-like node of mixed use residential and retail development here that will catalyze positive change in the Plan Area over the long term. Mixed use development at this location would be in either a horizontal or vertical configuration with base residential densities of up to 35 dwelling units per acre and building heights of up to 5 stories. Individual projects that provide a substantial affordable housing component may qualify for additional bonus density under State law.

The Village Center is envisioned as a distinctive, walkable focal point for the San Ramon Village district. The area will feature attractive design, inviting streetscapes, and a vital mix of uses oriented to the daily needs of local residents. Generous sidewalks and pedestrian paseos will provide easy access to shops, restaurants, and San Ramon Creek. Buildings designed with a variety of materials, colors and architectural features will provide visual interest and heighten the pedestrian experience, while amenities like benches, lighting, public art, and landscaping provided in cut out areas along building frontages will activate the public realm.

West of the node, along Deerwood Road, medium density residential development would be encouraged at densities consistent with existing homes further along Deerwood Road outside of the Plan Area to provide additional rooftops to build the tax base and support community-oriented local retail. Residential densities here would be up to 28 dwelling units per acre and building heights would be up to 3 stories so as to protect views of the surrounding hills, given the higher elevation of the terrain. Housing of similar character and scale is also envisioned in the Ryan Industrial Court area to the south of the node.

North of the node, a Residential Overlay will provide opportunities for additional housing at a density of 22 to 35 dwelling units per acre. the Housing Opportunity Residential designation

Packet Pg. 713 Attachment: D. Ordinance 523, Amending the San Ramon Village Specific Plan Development Standards and Zoning Regulations for the Plan 34 Chapter 4: Land Use and Urban Design • Multiple Family Residential (MFR). The MFR designation is intended to provide opportunities to live within walking and biking distance of shops, services and employment. Typical development in this category is apartments or condominiums two to three stories tall. Maintaining a human scale through quality design and landscaping with access to adjacent parks and creeks is a high priority in these areas. Allowable residential density is between 18 and 28 dwelling units per acre.
• Village Center Mixed Use (VCMU). The Village Center
Mixed Use designation is intended to foster a vibrant mix of residential and non-residential uses—retail, restaurant, service, office, lodging, and/or cultural amenities—in a pedestrian and bicycle-friendly village center at the core of the SRVSP area.

The VCMU designation allows for high-intensity mixed use development with an FAR of between 0.5 and 1.25 for nonresidential uses. Minimum residential density is 30 dwelling units per acre and maximum residential density is 35 dwelling units per acre prior to application of any State density bonus. On properties with a developable area of 70,000 square feet or more, a mix of uses is required; on smaller sites, a single use may be permitted. While horizontal mixed use (different uses on the same parcel but not in the same building), is allowed, vertical mixed use with residential or office uses over more active ground floor pedestrian-oriented commercial, service or retail uses is strongly encouraged, as is the provision of workforce housing. Live-work units, as a mixed use option, should be considered based on the site conditions, location, and viability of the site for more traditional retail and commercial options. High quality design that maintains a human scale, orients development to creekside open space, and integrates bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure and amenities is a priority in this designation.

Housing Opportunity Residential
Residential Overlay (RO). This land use overlay is applied to properties designated asCommercial/Service Commercial (C/ SC) and Production, Distribution and Repair (PDR) north of Faria Preserve Parkway. It is intended to allow for future infill and intensification of underutilized properties in a way that minimizes impacts on existing businesses and that can lead to the creation of a cohesive mixed-use district. Within this area, residential development is allowed on assembled sites greater than 1.5 acres, subject to livability conditions intended to mitigate potential conflicts between the new residential development and existing nonresidential uses. Residential development within this designation is limited to a minimum density of 22 dwelling units per acre and a maximum density of 35 dwelling units per acre.

Additional ancillary commercial uses are also allowed on the ground floor up to a maximum 0.40
FAR. Buildings are required
to be oriented to public or publicly accessible streets to promote a pedestrian-friendly environment.

4.2 Density, Intensity and Height Standards
Table 4-0 summarizes the density, intensity, and height standards for each land use designation. For all development, density/FAR is specified as a range within which all development must fall. Maximum intensities shown in Table 4-0 may not be attainable on all sites, as development regulations (e.g., building height limits or development standards) or site conditions may reduce development potential. On all sites throughout the Plan Area, intensities can be averaged over multiple contiguous parcels for an individual project to accommodate areas of high-intensity development, open space, and other amenities.

4.5 Development Standards
The San Ramon Village Specific Plan is implemented through policies and development standards listed in this Plan. Tables 4-2 through 4-5 outline the specific development standards for each district within the Plan Area. Figure 4-0 Land Use Diagram shows a map of the districts within the Plan Area. These tables and text elaborate on the key development standards for each district and the following section includes design guidelines for development within the Plan Area. The development standards serve as the zoning for the area and supersede development standards in the San Ramon Zoning Ordinance. The Development Standards applicable to the Multiple Family Residential (MFR) District shall apply to any residential development proposed to be constructed outside of the Village Center Mixed-Use (VCMU) District or the Multiple Family Residential (MFR) District. This shall include the Development Standards included in Table 4-4, Building Development Standards: Multiple Family Residential (MFR) and Residential Overlay (RO); Figure 4-5: Multiple Family Residential MFR) and Residential Overlay (RO) District Building Development Standards; and the Design Standards included for the Multiple Family Residential (MFR) and Residential Overlay (RO) District regarding Building Articulation, Windows, Materials, Screening, Landscaping and Signage. Where specific standards are not listed within this Plan, the applicable sections of the Zoning Ordinance will regulate development. Permitted, conditionally permitted and prohibited uses for each district are included within applicable sections of Appendix A and the Zoning Ordinance.

Projects within the Plan Area are subject to Architectural Review in accordance with Chapter D6-22 of the City’s Zoning Ordinance.

Certain residential and mixed use projects which offer housing units at levels affordable for low and very low income households may be subject to a streamlined approval process in accordance with Senate Bill 35 if they satisfy the objective development standards outlined below.

PUBLIC REALM
The following development standards for streetscapes in the VCMU designation are intended to provide a comprehensive streetscape scheme that addresses right-of-way elements such as sidewalk width, landscaping, street furniture, lighting and signage.

complement the pedestrian oriented nature of the
neighborhood centers and the scale of the neighborhood.

Larger establishments (including stores and supermarkets) are encouraged to the extent that they are designed with a pedestrian orientation.

OPEN SPACE AND LANDSCAPING
DG-6 Spaces should be designed to balance privacy and safety with air and sunlight access. This can be achieved by prioritizing south facing open space opportunities and designing
balconies with slatted or otherwise partially transparent grating or railing.

5.2 Schools
All new residential development in the Plan Area is anticipated to be multi-family housing (such as apartments, townhomes, and condominiums), which typically has a lower student generation rate than single-family homes. As part of the development review process, the San Ramon Valley Unified School District (SRVUSD) determines student generation rates to assess capacity and set development impact fees. Based on this student generation rate, the Plan does not anticipate the need for new schools in the Plan Area. Instead, new residential development will send students to existing schools elsewhere in the San Ramon Valley Unified School District.

OBJECTIVE CF-2:

Provide adequate public schools for residents of the San Ramon Village Specific Plan Area.
• Policy CF-2.1: Require that new development contribute school impact mitigation fees.

Senate Bill 50 (1998) requires new residential development to contribute school impact mitigation fees.

Chapter 8: Implementation
The Specific Plan is generally consistent with the 2035 General Plan’s land use diagram, objectives and policies, but varies in its details in order to create appropriate incentives.

Land Use Diagram: With the exception of the proposed park, the whole of the Plan Area is designated Mixed Use in General Plan 2035, where an integrated mix of residential and non-residential uses is envisioned. The Mixed Use designation allows for non-residential development (retail, service, office) at intensities of up to 0.70 FAR, with residential densities in the range of 14-30 dwelling units per acre. The land use diagram of the Specific Plan divides the area into six districts and two overlays (the Creek Riparian Zone and Residential Overlay), and permits mixed uses in the Village Center Mixed-Use (VCMU), Business Mixed Use (BMU), Commercial/Service Commercial (C/SC), and Production, Distribution and Repair (PDR) districts. The Specific Plan permits somewhat higher intensities and densities of development than the General Plan for two reasons: (1) to create meaningful incentives for developers to aggregate parcels and redevelop existing uses; and (2) to create a critical mass of residents and tenants to support an active mixed-use district and satisfy State requirements for housing affordability.

Objectives and Policies: Policy 4.7-I-2 states: “Ensure new development within the Plan Area is consistent with the adopted San Ramon Village Specific Plan and pursue future opportunities to update the Plan as needed to address the changing market opportunities and land use, infrastructure, and finance needs based on post RDA conditions.” The San Ramon Village Specific Plan satisfies the General Plan’s requirements for housing (including workforce housing), non-residential floor area, infrastructure improvements and this implementation program.

The Specific Plan’s policies and regulations accomplish the objectives of the General Plan by:
• Providing opportunities for the redevelopment of appropriate sites with a dense mix of housing in proximity to services within walkable distance.
• Setting requirements and providing incentives for residential projects to incorporate significant numbers of affordable housing units, consistent with applicable provisions of the San Ramon Municipal Code and Zoning Ordinance. Also, requirements for parking – which is a major development expense – are reduced for affordable housing and mixed-use projects.
• Making a significant contribution to the City’s stock of affordable housing by creating opportunities for housing and affordable units in compliance with the Inclusionary Housing and Affordable Housing Commercial Linkage Fee Ordinances.
• Supporting viable existing service commercial uses that wish to remain and preventing them from becoming nuisances by requiring new development to build suitable noise and visual barriers and buffers.

Well said, Jim. I recently took a drive through Walnut Creek. Walnut Creek is a perfect example of what we do not want San Ramon to become. The height of the buildings, the huge number of buildings, the traffic congestion, etc. are just a few examples of what we again do not want in our beautiful city. Please protect our city!

to other Bay Area Cities – More surrounding green space, attractive integrated landscaping around and thru developed areas, lower profile of major buildings, improved aesthetics and viewscape, as a result of all this, as well as less overbearing building shadows, claustrophobic density, heavy traffic and more noise. This could all change for the worse, to the extent that San Ramon will eventually become just one more Bay Area City with no remaining quality of life attributes that - have until now- set it apart as a City that got it right.

There is, of course, the inevitable and ubiquitous powerful special as well as, vested interests, along with their allies, pushing an agenda that, by its very nature, undermines any hope to retain an enhanced City Vision. To the extent the City acquiesces to this pressure, so to will it fail to keep it’s promise to its citizens of a future for San Ramon as beautiful as it’s past, and present.

The General Plan needs to fully reflect the very best
outcome for San Ramon and the citizens of San Ramon.

Concerning CEQA, the danger of both an intentional

negatives that implies.

One Example: “Wrap Buildings”:

There was a recent approval of a very high and very large Wrap Building. And just a few months later there’s a ‘Concept’ for yet another of this genre – replicating all the inherent deficiencies that threaten to dramatically change the future of the City for the worse. The implication is clear, a growth inducing aspect very significant and negatively impacting that the City should fully acknowledge and address. To wit:
“Wrap Buildings” inherently bring very large buildings closer to view corridors including pedestrian walkways, sometimes called the ‘big city’ effect. The open space/park, such as it is, is internal and blocked from public view or use. Good for those occupants, bad for San Ramon’s general public.

So, residents lose in a number of ways , unattractive close massing, limiting or blocking entirely, remaining ambiance of San

Replacing that viewshed large overbearing maxed out high structure walls , more demand on current city parks (as park mitigation is limited to a park setting for the complex’s occupants, and park fees that never translate into actual parks near the impact area) , and finally increase traffic noise from both the project added traffic, as well as the “echo” effect of the massive, close in, structure walls.

Part of any concept should also present non-wrap structures, greater setbacks from streets and walkways, more space for buffering landscaping, and more tangible park mitigation consistent with General Plan stipulations, as well as, structures that can accommodate appropriate residential growth but, not further degrade the living standards/ quality of life associated with San Ramon, that (still) separate us from becoming just one more overbuilt, traffic congested, noisy and unattractive ‘big city.’
Set the Standard for a powerful General Plan that protects the high City Standards , keeps a vision for a future San Ramon as beautiful as it’s past, while safeguarding against efforts to derail that vision for lesser and short term “priorities”.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: December 12, 2023
TO: City Council/City Manager
FROM: Maria Fierner, Public Works Director
By: Robin Bartlett, Division Manager/District Engineer
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 2023-134 - Accepting the Report by BayPac Consult Inc.

Regarding the Bridge Type for the Crow Canyon Road/Iron Horse Trail Bicycle and Pedestrian Overcrossing (CIP 905531), Providing Direction to Staff with Regard to the Preferred Type, and Appropriating $259,121 from the General Fund to CIP 905531 for a Total Project Budget of $2,534,471

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
BayPac Consult, Inc. has reviewed bridge type options for the Crow Canyon Road/Iron Horse Trail Bicycle and Pedestrian Overcrossing (CIP 905531) including: 1) a truss arch; 2) a butterfly arch; 3) a tied-arch; and 4) a concrete arch with stressed ribbon deck. The concrete arch option was rejected early in the analysis as likely unfeasible. The other options were analyzed in greater detail. To help better understand the aesthetic considerations, renderings were developed for the truss and butterfly options while previous renderings were used for the tied-arch bridge.

Preliminary cost analysis was conducted for the purpose of comparing options. The City has received a Federal Earmark of $2M for the design of the bridge. Federal law requires that the City provide an 11.47% matching contribution of the total project budget, which is equal to $259,121.

City staff and Baypac presented renderings and preliminary cost information to the City Council on November 14, 2023. At that time, City Council recommended staff to receive public input on three options: 1) a truss arch; 2) a butterfly arch; and 3) a truss bridge that is evocative of a traditional railroad bridge. Staff has conducted outreach the results of which will be presented at the City Council meeting of December 12, 2023.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council receive the Report by BayPac Consult Inc. (BayPac) regarding the bridge type for the Crow Canyon Road/Iron Horse Trail Bicycle and Pedestrian Overcrossing (CIP 905531), provide direction to staff with regard to the preferred type, and appropriate $259,121 from the General Fund to CIP 905531.

BACKGROUND
The City of San Ramon has long contemplated and planned for a bicycle and pedestrian overcrossing along the Iron Horse Trail over Crow Canyon Road. The Crow Canyon Road and Bollinger Canyon Road Overcrossing Projects arose from the desire to enhance safety for pedestrians and bicyclists using the Iron Horse Trail, improve traffic flow, facilitate alternative transportation, and enhance recreation. The Iron Horse Trail is a Route of Regional Significance that serves as a pedestrian corridor through the center of the San Ramon Valley. It extends from Dublin in the south to Martinez in the north and serves both local and regional users. The Trail currently serves a number of important destinations in San Ramon including three schools, City Hall, San Ramon Library, Central Park, Bishop Ranch Business Park, San Ramon Transit Center, City Center Bishop Ranch, and the Market Place Shopping Center. This Trail will also connect with the City Center Bishop Ranch Walking District. The Association of Bay Area Governments has designated the City Center Bishop Ranch area as a Priority Development Area (PDA). The Overcrossings will help meet the PDA’s goal to “foster a regional growth pattern that creates complete communities with ready, close and safe access to employment, shopping, amenities and services, and where transit is in place, well-coordinated and available.” The Overcrossings are included in the San Ramon Valley Iron Horse Trail Bicycle Pedestrian Corridor Concept Plan.

In order to facilitate the process of selecting a bridge type for the Crow Canyon Road Overcrossing, the City has obtained the services of BayPac and its subconsultant Mr. Charles Redfield of Nutt Redfield Valentine. BayPac has extensive experience working on various elements of bridges and other public infrastructure projects, including the Bollinger Canyon Road/Iron Horse Trail Bicycle and Pedestrian Overcrossing Project as a consultant to the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA). Charles Redfield is a bridge engineer with a long history of designing bridges of various types and who also provided consultations to the City to refine the design concepts for the Bollinger Canyon Road/IHT Overcrossing. Staff asked BayPac to review design options for various bridge types that would be consistent with the previously approved concepts of a structural arch or arch appearance. This review included a general review of constructability and preliminary cost estimates. The results of their analysis are presented in their report titled “City of San Ramon, Crow Canyon Road Iron Horse Trail Bicycle and Pedestrian Overcrossing Project Concept Update Report” (Attachment A).

DISCUSSION
Design Options
BayPac Consult, Inc. has reviewed bridge type options for the Crow Canyon Road/Iron Horse Trail Bicycle and Pedestrian Overcrossing including: 1) a truss arch; 2) a butterfly arch; 3) a tiedarch; and 4) a concrete arch with stressed ribbon deck. The concrete arch option was rejected early in the analysis as likely unfeasible. The other options were analyzed in greater detail.

In order to help understand the potential issues associated with the designs, detailed sketches were developed for the truss arch and butterfly arch. Previously developed sketches were relied on for the tied-arch. To help better understand the aesthetic considerations, renderings were

8.1 Packet Pg. 734
developed for the truss and butterfly options while previous renderings were used for the tiedarch bridge. The sketches and renderings are included with Attachment A.

Key features for each design are as follows:

Truss Arch
• Appearance is bulkier than the other options but is more consistent with a historic railroad bridge.
• Least complex design with greatest ease of construction. • Most likely to have multiple experienced bidders.

Butterfly Arch
• More slender and elegant appearance.
• More complex design and construction.
• More constrained bidding pool.

Tied-Arch
• Classic true arch design.
• More complicated to construct with more complex foundations. • More constrained bidding pool.

Preliminary cost analysis was conducted for the purpose of comparing options. While these costs were developed based on recent similar projects under construction nearby, they can only be deemed preliminary due to a range of factors that can greatly impact the cost of a bridge. These include:
• the bidding climate at the time a project goes into construction; • architectural details that are included in a project; • availability of materials; and
• uncertainty at this stage of design with regard to unknowns including, extent of utility conflicts, soil issues, access to construction staging areas, and others.

The preliminary cost estimates include design, construction management, and construction of the bridge, and associated improvements such as the approach ramps, retaining walls, and landscaping. Major utility relocation, hazard materials handling, right-of-way procurement, or other unexpected problems are not included. These costs should therefore be used for general planning and for comparison of the different options. Issues such as complexity of construction are reflected in the cost comparisons. Preliminary cost analysis indicates the following relative costs:

Type Relative Cost
Truss Arch $21.3M to $23.3M
Butterfly Arch $20.1M to $22.1M
Tied-Arch $26.9 to $28.9M

8.1 Packet Pg. 735
All the design options are compatible with the previously prepared environmental documents and have generally similar long-term maintenance requirements.

Detailed discussion of the bridge options is presented in Attachment A.

November 14, 2023 City Council Meeting and Public Input City staff and Baypac presented renderings and preliminary cost information to the City Council on November 14, 2023. At that time, City Council members expressed interest in receiving public input on three options: 1) a truss arch; 2) a butterfly arch; and 3) a truss bridge that is evocative of a traditional railroad bridge. Therefore, staff created a survey to the public by posting links in the City’s News and Info email, “What’s New” on the City’s website homepage and posted on social media. This survey included an additional rendering of a railroad type truss as shown on Attachment B. All the bridges presented are expected to have broadly similar costs and construction impacts. The survey asked the public to rank the preferred types. The rank was determined by assigning a score of 1, 2 or 3 for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd choice, with the lowest total score being the highest average choice. The results of the survey will be presented during the City Council meeting.

The Railroad Truss type bridge was not discussed in the final environmental document for the project and will require an amendment to it. However, environmental considerations are not expected to be significantly different with this type of bridge as compared to any of the arch type bridges.

Matching Funds
The City of San Ramon has received an allocation for design of the Project in the amount of $2M from the Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending (CPFCDS) Program also known as a Federal Earmark. Based on Federal law, the City’s matching contribution for the Project is expected to be 11.47% of the total. In order to maximize the Federal Earmark of $2M, this would result in a City contribution of $259,121 for a total design budget of $2,259,121. Staff is, therefore, requesting an appropriation of $259,121 from the City’s General Fund to the Project to provide the local match.

The City has already committed $175,000 to CIP 905531 for preliminary design and validation of environmental documentation with the approval of Resolution No. 2022-148 on December 13, 2022. These funds are being used currently, prior to obligation of the Federal Funds through the Caltrans E-76 process and are not eligible for reimbursement or to be considered as part of the matching funds for the design work. Funding was also previously committed to the Project from a TLC Grant in the amount of $100,350 to provide initial evaluation and environmental analysis.

The total Project including all previously allocated and used funds, proposed allocation, and Federal Earmark will be $2,534,471.

8.1 Packet Pg. 736

FISCAL ANALYSIS

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 2009, the City of San Ramon approved the San Ramon Valley Bicycle Pedestrian Corridor Concept Plan. The plan studied the feasibility of integrating a series of proposed bicycle/pedestrian overcrossings along the Iron Horse Trail with its adjacent transit and pedestrian-oriented land use plans. It recommended the construction of grade-separated bicycle and pedestrian overcrossings at Bollinger Canyon Road and Crow Canyon Road.

In December 2015, a Conceptual Bridge Design Report for these two overcrossings was completed. The report recommended the construction of a cable-stayed bridge at Bollinger Canyon Road and an arch bridge at Crow Canyon Road. The Bollinger Canyon Road overcrossing is now under construction. The City has secured federal funds and is ready to proceed with the design of the Crow Canyon Road overcrossing (Project).

This Project Concept Update Report evaluated three different types of bridge construction at Crow Canyon Road that provide the aesthetics consistent with an arch.

This Report provides information on three possible bridge types, including key considerations and computer simulations of these bridge types as well as the range of probable costs for comparison purposes. A fourth option for a concrete arch with a stressed ribbon deck was initially evaluated and was dropped from further consideration as it will not comply with the Americans with Disability Act.

It is anticipated that this Report will provide the information for decision makers to select a preferred bridge type for final design and construction. Additional design features, such as the exact bridge alignment, landscaping around the bridge and detailed aesthetic treatments, etc. will be developed during the final design process.

BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
The Iron Horse Trail is a multi-use, whole-access trail between the cities of Concord and Dublin/Pleasanton that follows the old Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way established in 1891 and abandoned in 1978. The complete Iron Horse Trail spans a distance of 32 miles and passes through the City of San Ramon, with signalized crossings at Alcosta Boulevard, Bollinger Canyon Road and Crow Canyon Road.

In 2009, the City San Ramon studied the feasibility of integrating a series of proposed bicycle/pedestrian overcrossings along the Iron Horse Trail to support adjacent transit and pedestrian-oriented development. The San Ramon Valley Bicycle Pedestrian

Corridor Concept Plan evaluated the feasibility of constructing overcrossings to improve access and safety for bicyclists and pedestrians along the Iron Horse Trail and to create a pedestrian-friendly environment at major arterial crossings. The Plan recommended the construction of grade-separated bicycle and pedestrian overcrossings at Bollinger Canyon Road and Crow Canyon Road.

In 2012, the City of San Ramon secured Contra Costa Measure J Transportation for Livable Communities (CCTA-TLC) funds to begin the implementation of the Iron Horse Trail Bicycle and Pedestrian Overcrossing projects. In 2013, the City of San Ramon began a study to develop the design concepts for the two overcrossings. The study included a very comprehensive public outreach and participation process. The Final Selected Conceptual Bridge Design Report was completed in December 2015.

The Report recommended the construction of a single pylon cable-stayed bridge at Bollinger Canyon Road and a tied-arch bridge at Crow Canyon Road. The City of San Ramon adopted an Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration for the two overcrossings in November 2017. This included an analysis of the Project as likely consisting of a tied-arch main span, girder, or design of similar appearance.

In 2018, the City of San Ramon secured funding to proceed with the design and construction of the Bollinger Canyon Road overcrossing. Initial work included a value engineering and concept update study. That study updated and improved the bridge design to better align the design with available funding, while preserving and improving the aesthetic of the overcrossing. Final design was completed and the overcrossing is now under construction.

In June 2022, the City of San Ramon received an allocation to design the Project in the amount of $2M from the Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending (CPFCDS) Program (also known as a Federal Earmarks). Similar to the Bollinger Canyon Road overcrossing project, the City of San Ramon is conducting a value engineering and concept update study for the Project. This study will provide multiple design concepts for the City’s considerations. Once a preferred design concept is selected, it will become the basis of the final Crow Canyon Road overcrossing design.

SITE CONDITION AND KEY CONSIDERATIONS
The site condition will inform the design and construction of the Project. Some of the key features are discussed below.

8.1.a
Packet Pg. 742 Attachment: A: Project Concept Update Report (2023-134 : Accepting the Report by BayPac Consult Inc. for the Crow Canyon Road/IHT Crow Canyon Road Iron Horse Trail Bicycle and Pedestrian Overcrossing Project Concept Update Report
3 | Page
 Crow Canyon Road- Crow Canyon Road is a major east-west arterial in the City of San Ramon. At the Project location, it has four lanes in each direction, a landscaped median and a turn lane into the PG&E facility to the north. It has a fairly straight alignment and connects the eastern hills to the I-680 freeway. It serves the commercial and retail development between I-680 and Alcosta Boulevard. A signalized crosswalk is provided at its intersection with the Iron Horse Trail. The crosswalk will be removed after the Project is completed.

It is expected that no permanent pier will be placed in the median area, though the turn lane may be temporarily closed during construction to facilitate bridge construction.
 Iron Horse Trail- The Iron Horse Trail runs along the former Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way and connects the cities of Dublin to the south and Concord to the north. Typically, railroad corridors and right-of-way carry a variety of utilities. The project location includes a number of major utilities, including transmission and distribution power lines, fuel and gas pipelines, fiber optics and communication lines, sewer lines, storm drains and water lines. The right-of-way also includes an easement for a future Light Rail Transit (LRT).

At the Project location, the width of the right-of-way varies between approximately 48’ to approximately 64’ along the length of the Trail. Even though the existing Trail is relatively straight across Crow Canyon Road, the rightof-way of the Trail on the two sides of Crow Canyon Road do not line up. The right-of-way line on the north side of the Trail is approximately 15’ west of the right-of-way line on the south side.

Unlike the Bollinger Canyon Road overcrossing, there is no open space or open area adjacent to the Project site. There is limited space to assemble any prefabricated main bridge crossing on-site without impacting the use of the Trail.

The proposed bridge design and construction will need to take this into account.

It is expected that the bridge over Crow Canyon Road will be straight and may be constructed with a slight skew to the road. The bridge approaches will likely be curved.
 Utilities- Major utilities run along the east side of the Trail right-of-way. The precise locations, depths and heights of the various utilities are not known and

8.1.a
Packet Pg. 743 Attachment: A: Project Concept Update Report (2023-134 : Accepting the Report by BayPac Consult Inc. for the Crow Canyon Road/IHT Crow Canyon Road Iron Horse Trail Bicycle and Pedestrian Overcrossing Project Concept Update Report

will be determined during final design. The locations of the utilities, vegetation and other ground features will inform the final alignment and geometry of the overcrossing structure, which is expected to be placed on the west side of the Trail. The underground utilities, overhead electrical transmission lines on the east side of the trail and the soil condition will also affect the foundation type, construction staging and the method of bridge construction.

The final design will need to verify the locations of existing utilities, both below and above ground, and consider how that may affect the placement of the bridge, its foundation and construction methods.
 Vegetation- There are a number of mature trees on the west side of the Trail. On the south side of Crow Canyon Road, there is also a row of hedges. The final design needs to minimize impacts on mature trees, consider access for maintenance and avoid hidden space to promote personal safety.  Topography- The Trail has fairly flat gradient and presents no issue in meeting the American Disability Act (ADA) requirements, other than the creation of a long approach ramp on both sides. The approach structures from both the north and the south would likely be similar to the approach structures of the Bollinger Canyon Road overcrossing.
 Aesthetics- As previously noted, there are a number of mature trees along the Trail. These trees and other adjacent buildings affect the visual line of sight between the travel lanes on Crow Canyon Road and the overcrossing structure.

The view of eastbound travelers is limited to the main crossing over the roadway and the sidewalk. The view for westbound travelers is more open as they also have line of sight of the approach structures and possibly the stair structures, if provided. The final design needs to consider the community’s aesthetics preference. The placement of aesthetic design elements also needs to consider visibility.

FEASIBLE BRIDGE DESIGN OPTIONS & EVALUATION
The Final Selected Conceptual Bridge Design Report suggested that the community mostly favored an arch bridge at Crow Canyon Road. That Report recommended the

construction of a tied-arch bridge. This Concept Update Report provided an opportunity for decision makers to consider other bridge concepts that also present an arch appearance. All these design concepts will include a bridge deck with a clear width of 16’ and a minimum vertical clearance of 17’ over the roadway. A fourth option of a concrete arch with a stressed ribbon deck was initially evaluated but determined to be infeasible. The design options are discussed below.
 Option 1 Truss Arch- This recently developed option provides for a 142’ prefabricated steel truss main span over Crow Canyon Road with 380’ - 390’ long (each) approaches comprising of shorter span concrete bridges and abutment walls. The truss will have an arch shape. It will be transported in multiple pieces to the Project location where it will be assembled and erected.  Option 2 Butterfly Arch- This recently developed option provides for a 190’ butterfly arch main span over Crow Canyon Road with 360 - 370’ long (each) approaches comprising of shorter span concrete bridges and abutment walls. The main arch structural members will include two steel hollow sections with the bridge deck supported by hanger cables or rods.
 Option 3 Tied-Arch- This was proposed in the Final Selected Conceptual Bridge Design Report. This provides for a 240’ tied-arch main span over Crow Canyon Road with 480’ long (each) approaches comprising of shorter span concrete bridges and abutment walls. The main arch structural members will include two steel hollow sections with the bridge deck supported by hanger cables or rods.

The location, drawings and renderings for the three options are shown in Appendix A.

Due to the relatively high cost of the Tied-Arch option, it was considered to be the least likely option to move forward so no new detailed renderings were developed for this option. The lengths of the approaches will be revised during final design after a field topographic survey is conducted.

EVALUATION OF DESIGN OPTIONS
To support a decision on the preferred bridge option for final design and construction, a number of key factors have been evaluated and are discussed below.  Potential environmental impacts- LSA, the environmental consultant that prepared the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Initial Study / Mitigated

8.1.a
Packet Pg. 745 Attachment: A: Project Concept Update Report (2023-134 : Accepting the Report by BayPac Consult Inc. for the Crow Canyon Road/IHT Crow Canyon Road Iron Horse Trail Bicycle and Pedestrian Overcrossing Project Concept Update Report

Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the Project in 2017, has conducted an initial screening of the design options. They concluded that potential impacts for all three options are covered under the previously adopted IS/MND and a new revalidation memo will be prepared to document any changes.  Aesthetics- Even though all three design options present the appearance of an arch structure, they each have a different aesthetic signature. The tied-arch is the tallest of the three options while the butterfly arch is the shortest. The truss arch gives the appearance of having bulkier structural members while the butterfly arch appears the slenderest. Renderings for all three options are shown in Appendix A.
 Construction Complexity- Construction of the three bridge options have slightly different levels of complexity. The truss arch is the most conventional and presents the least level of construction complexity. Construction of the butterfly arch or the tied-arch requires slightly more complex deck erection and construction procedures. The level of complexity affects the number of potential bidders and the competitiveness of the bids. This is accounted for through the different adjustments and contingency allowances in the estimated construction costs.
 Construction Impacts- During the construction of the Project, the segment of the Trail in the immediate vicinity of the Project area will need to be closed. Bicycle and pedestrian traffic will be detoured. To ease the erection of the truss arch, a temporary falsework tower will be constructed in the median area. This tower may result in a 6 to 9-month closure of either the westbound median (#1) lane or the eastbound left-turn pocket onto the PG&E property. The bridge deck of the tied-arch option will be constructed in place and requires the use of falsework over Crow Canyon Road for a period of 9 to 12 months. The butterfly arch provides more flexibility for the contractor to use either precast concrete deck panels or construct the bridge deck in place. A brief discussion on constructability and construction staging for these three options is given in Appendix B.
 Bridge Maintenance- There is no particularly unusual structural feature in any of these three bridge options that warrants special maintenance considerations.

Bridge-related maintenance activities include adjustment of metal screen/throw fence, inspection of bridge joints, hangers, and periodic bridge inspections, etc.

The steel bridge members will also need to be painted and the steel truss will require a more extensive painting program.

RANGE OF PROBABLE CONSTRUCTION COST
The project construction cost should cover the contactor’s project management, overhead, mobilization, temporary detour and traffic control, general site improvements, paving, bridge construction, approaches and abutments, stairs, fencing, lighting, signage, landscaping and irrigation, utilities relocation, and new utility services, etc. The costs for these items typically vary from project to project. In addition, the cost of certain items, such as landscaping, may vary based on the design and constrain of the available budget.

An analysis of two similar Iron Horse Trail projects in the cities of Dublin and San Ramon shows that the construction cost of the bridge structure, between the abutments, to be approximately 38% to 40% of the total project construction cost. The scope for this Report only included the cost estimation of the new bridge structure options. Thus, this report utilizes the above analysis result to extrapolate the range of probable construction costs of the entire project for preliminary budgetary purposes, based on the estimated truss arch construction cost. This results in an estimate of about $8.6 million for mobilization and other civil construction costs. The probable construction cost will be updated during final design.

The estimated costs for the truss arch and butterfly arch bridge structure options were developed using the estimated quantities and recent construction bid rates for similar items of work. Adjustments are applied to account for unusual factors, complexities and the potential number of bidders. The estimated cost of the tied-arch option was updated based on the estimate developed for the Conceptual Bridge Design Report, and adjusted based on the California Construction Cost Index*. * Source: https://www.dgs.ca.gov/RESD/Resources/Page-Content/Real-Estate-Services-Division-ResourcesList-Folder/DGS-California-Construction-Cost-Index-CCCI The probable construction and total project costs for the three bridge types are summarized in Table 1. As the timing of construction is not yet determined, the probable costs are based on 2023 dollars, and have not been escalated to the mid-year of construction. Additional details on the probable bridge construction costs are given

in Appendix C. For comparison purposes the construction contract amounts (before contingency) for the Bollinger Canyon Road Overcrossing (cable stayed bridge) is $21,617,972.82 and $10,202,650.80 for the City of Dublin’s Dublin Boulevard Overcrossing (truss bridge).

In addition to the construction cost, other project costs include:
 Design- estimated as a percentage of construction cost.  Construction engineering- Includes administration and management and estimated as a percentage of construction cost.
 Right-of-way and utility avoidance and relocation- Includes cost for needed right-of-way, staging area, temporary easements, and avoidance and/or relocation of utilities. These costs will be determined during final design and an allowance of up to $2M is included in the current estimate.

CONSTRUCTABILITY & CONSTRUCTION STAGING

8.1.a
Packet Pg. 774 Attachment: A: Project Concept Update Report (2023-134 : Accepting the Report by BayPac Consult Inc. for the Crow Canyon Road/IHT Option 1 Truss Arch
The Truss Arch design is essentially a single span steel truss with a span of 142’. It is envisioned to be erected in pieces with splice connections utilizing a temporary shoring tower set in the median. The placement of the prefabricated sections is a substantive effort due to its weight.

Large crane(s) are necessary with partial roadway (either eastbound or westbound) closure. Once the prefabricated truss segments are in place and connected, precast concrete panels will be placed on floor beam supports. The deck is completed with cast-in-place concrete closure pours. The side spans are prestressed concrete construction built on falsework. There are minor vertical steel elements to form the rest of the arch shape in the side spans. They will be attached to the concrete structure but do not serve any structural purpose.

The approach abutments are expected to be constructed of mechanically stabilized earth supported on footings.

Option 2 Butterfly Arch
The Butterfly Arch option is intended to be “self-anchored” with the deck serving as a tie, much like the deck of a tied-arch. This reduces the thrust forces of a traditional arch system which has a sizable horizontal component normally resisted by the substantial and costly foundation system. This design includes a connecting strut that transfers the thrust forces to the deck which serves as a tie. This provides an efficient and economical structure that provides the classic arch aesthetics without costly foundation work.

In constructing the arch, four prefabricated steel hollow sections will be erected with splice connections utilizing a temporary shoring tower set in the median. The steel sections are relatively light weight and will only require the use of smaller crane(s) with partial roadway (either eastbound or westbound) closure. The shoring tower will be taller than that required for the truss arch.

Once the arches are complete, precast deck panels will be erected and supported by the hangers mounted on the steel arches. The side spans are prestressed concrete construction built on falsework. Prestressing strands are installed in the deck from end to end and partially stressed. Infill concrete will be poured over the precast panels, which also act as forms. Once cured, there will be additional prestressing to complete the deck and the bridge. As the bridge deck is intended to act a tie under the permanent condition, there may be a need to install temporary struts to transfer the thrust forces to the abutment until the deck construction is complete. The contractor may also elect to cast the entire deck in place, similar to Option 3 tied-arch option. This approach could eliminate the need for temporary struts but is expected to be more costly.

The approach abutments are expected to be constructed of mechanically stabilized earth supported on footings.

8.1.a
Packet Pg. 775 Attachment: A: Project Concept Update Report (2023-134 : Accepting the Report by BayPac Consult Inc. for the Crow Canyon Road/IHT Option 3 Tied Arch
The Tied Arch Option was not studied to the level of Option 1 or Option 2. To construct the tied-arch, it is necessary to first construct substantial falsework over Crow Canyon Road. The deck will be poured in place and will act as a tie to resist the thrust forces of the arches. The steel hollow sections that form the arches will be prefabricated in four to six sections and erected with splice connections. The deck load will then be transferred to hangers mounted on the completed arches.

The Live Well Resource Fair brought together more than 30 senior-focused businesses and organizations to the Alcosta Senior & Community Center on Thursday, September 28, 2023. The event featured vendors that offered essential community services; such as, health care providers and resources, senior living facilities, and home helper companies. Approximately 300 seniors and their families enjoyed connecting with vendors located throughout the inside and outside patio areas of the center. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the center, historic displays featured the activities, events, and participants from over the years. Participants also received a 30th-anniversary cookie at the end of the event.

2. Research and suggest new modern variations of events and programs to staff for the enjoyment of the aging population of San Ramon including newly retired and working individuals, 55+.

On September 11, 2023, staff presented information to the Senior Citizen Advisory Committee (SAC) on new programs and activities that have been introduced at the Alcosta Senior and Community Center. Over the course of the year, the Senior Citizen Advisory Committee reviewed the quarterly reports, and provided feedback for areas of improvement including recommending new classes and events. Quarterly reports were presented to the SAC at the February 6, April 10, and July 3, 2023 meetings.

The Senior Citizen Advisory Committee (SAC) was asked to provide suggestions for new programs to staff after the quarterly reviews. Staff utilized the feedback from SAC to introduce a variety of new senior drop-in and registration classes at the Alcosta Senior & Community Center. New drop-in classes offered include Gentle Chair Aerobics, Beginner/Improver Line Dance, Canasta, knitting for beginners and the return of the Monday Movie Matinees. New registration programs include:

Beginning Hula Dance, Core Power and Fitness, Dance Cardio, SHINE: Dance Fitness, Mindfulness Practice, Qigong, and Weekday Wind Down with Yoga.

On May 22, 2023, the Senior Citizen Advisory Committee (SAC) received a tour of the Alcosta Senior and Community Center, Park, and Gardens located at 9300 Alcosta Blvd in San Ramon. The SAC collaborated closely with the staff to execute an orientation program for all new SAC members, which included a informative tour of the Alcosta Senior and Community Center Park and Gardens. The tour reviewed the usage of the facility including hours of operation, room functions, and program schedule. New SAC members were also given a binder at the orientation which contained the Committee Roster, Guidelines and By-Laws, Current Annual Report, Advisory Handbook, current Encore! newsletter and information on the Brown Act.

5. Visit local assisted living facilities to better understand their needs and how the Alcosta Senior and Community Center can provide complimentary services to enrich the lives of the residents.

The Senior Citizen Advisory Committee members (SAC) contacted local assisted living facilities. SAC members also visited local facilities that included Brookdale San Ramon, Ivy Park San Ramon, The Watermark San Ramon, Valley Vista San Ramon, and Deer Creek San Ramon. The visits to the assisted living facilities provided valuable insights into potential collaborations and resources that could benefit the senior community in the area, particularly in the context of the Alcosta Senior and Community Center's service. The SAC members discussed the information they gathered from the facilities they visited at the September 11, 2023, SAC meeting.

6. Meet with other Tri-Valley Senior Citizen Advisory Committee representatives in order to share ideas and best practices.
