Pleasant Hill BART
Specific Plan
IV. SUBAREA PLAN PROVISIONS
NORTH OF LAS JUNTAS
The area north of Las Juntas includes multiple family residential development as well as the commercial frontage along Oak Road facing I-680.
Subarea 1
Subarea 1 has been developed with a variety of commercial uses. Area 1A (see Figure 5) contains a commercial office building, Area 1B contains a retail development, and Area 1C, located within the Pleasant Hill city limits, contains an athletic club.
Subarea 2
Much of Subarea 2 is located within the Pleasant Hill city limits. While redevelopment of this subarea is not expected given the present level of improvements and the permissible density included in this plan, any change in land use or intensity shall be accompanied by provisions for through-project pedestrian circulation to connect with area wide circulation to the BART Station.
Subarea 3
Subarea 3 has been developed with a high density multi-family residential project.
Subarea 4
A future pedestrian/bicycle access may connect the Wayside Plaza area (Area 4N) through Area 4S to areas beyond. The interface between development on Area 4S and the Madison portion of Area 4N should emphasize neighborly concepts such as orienting front doors of development in the northwest corner of Area 4S to Area 4N, and low-level/non barricade style fencing. No project shall result in the isolation of individual existing parcels, islands without access, or awkward remnant areas. Wayside Lane has been (or will be) abandoned and access shall be from Coggins or Las Juntas. Any project shall have a minimum of 200 linear feet of frontage along a primary access street. Provisions shall be made for through-project pedestrian circulation to connect with direct access corridors to the BART Station. Convenience retail and eating/drinking establishments are conditionally permitted uses.
Subarea 5
Subarea 5 has been developed with a 59-unit condominium project.
Subareas 6, 13, and 16
Subareas 6 and 13 are currently used as temporary parking. The temporary parking use is expected to continue through the reconstruction period of the I-680/Hwy 24 intersection in Walnut Creek. These subareas are intended to be reserved for the Iron Horse Trail and a future fixed guideway system. The Iron Horse Trail would include a pedestrian and bicycle overcrossing of Treat Boulevard between Subareas 13 and 16 in the immediate vicinity of Jones Road.
Subarea 6 shall be reserved for trail, open space, and fixed guideway uses. Development of the right-of-way in Subarea 6 pursuant to this plan shall not preclude a potential use as a fixed guideway.
Subarea 13 shall be reserved for trail, open space, and fixed guideway uses, including a fixed guideway station.
Subarea 16 shall be reserved for trail and fixed guideway uses. The extension of Jones Road is permitted to encroach on the portion of the former SP right-of-way in Subarea 16, but a minimum 50 foot wide continuous right-of-way shall be reserved along the eastern edge of this subarea for public circulation. The right-of-way reserve shall incorporate improvements to the regional pedestrian and bicycle paths within a 20 foot minimum cross-section adjacent to Jones Road and reserve the remaining cross-section for the possible future improvements for a fixed guideway route.
