Appendix A Mixed Use Zone Redevelopment Guidelines

The following guidelines illustrate a methodology for the redevelopment of existing commercial strip centers into pedestrian-oriented districts where applicable. The City will use these guidelines in reviewing proposals to change existing shopping centers in the MU zone.

City of San Ramon, CA | Municipal Code 859

Purpose. In order to illustrate the potential for redevelopment of commercial properties into vibrant, mixed-use centers, a hypothetical “strip mall” was created at the intersection of two arterial streets. This 10-acre property accommodates approximately 115,000 gross square feet (gsf) of commercial space and includes a 60,000 gsf retail anchor. It is served by approximately 815 surface parking spaces (a standard 8:1 ratio). The following pages illustrate a series of design principles that may guide the redevelopment of similar properties, as well as a strategy for successful phasing such a project.

Above: Existing conditions.

City of San Ramon, CA | Municipal Code 860

Principle One: Subdivide the property into an interconnected network of pedestrian-scaled streets and blocks.

Principle Two: Parking should be located along streets and in lots and garages oriented behind buildings.

Principle Three: New buildings should be oriented towards streets and provide a scale and interest that is pedestrian friendly.

City of San Ramon, CA | Municipal Code 861

Principle Four: A comprehensive network of parks and open space should provide the community with a series of public places.

Principle Five: Built frameworks should provide pedestrian-friendly connections to neighboring properties and future redevelopment sites.

Above: Existing conditions within suburban context.

City of San Ramon, CA | Municipal Code 862

Phase I: A portion of the strip mall is demolished and redeveloped as a mixed-use “main street” fronting a linear park. A parking structure is built to accommodate lost parking and new residential uses. The existing anchor use is renovated to appropriately terminate this new axis.

Phase II: A second mixed-use address is introduced along with a parking structure serving new retail and residential uses, creating a nascent town center district.

Phase III: The remainder of the property is redeveloped with the addition of street-facing buildings along the site’s perimeter, as the arterial streets gradually evolve into avenues and boulevards that are more pedestrian-friendly.

City of San Ramon, CA | Municipal Code 863

The above drawing illustrates one way in which such a site could be redeveloped, integrating new and renovated commercial uses, residential uses in a variety of forms, and civic and open space. The redevelopment of one property can spur the redevelopment of adjacent underutilized sites, creating the long-term potential for the creation of a vibrant, mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly quarter. (Ord. No. 496, § 2, 01/28/2020)
