WHEREAS,the Pittsburg/Bay Point BART Station,which opened in December 1998
with approximately 2000 surface parking spaces, now functions as an end of line station
for East County; and
WHEREAS, shortly after opening the station's available parking supply became

engaged since November 1995 in a specific plan process to guide development in and
around the Pittsburg/Bay Point BART Station; and
WHEREAS, in the course of preparing the Pittsburg/Bay Point BART Station Area
Speck Plan, a vacant parcel of land between the Oak Hill Shopping Center and the BART
station parking lot was identified for its potential to provide additional station parking; and
WHEREAS, this vacant parcel of land has the potential to provide an additional 345
parking spaces for future needs at the Pittsburg/Bay Point BART Station; and
WHEREAS, a preliminary analysis by BART staff estimated the cost to acquire and
develop the vacant parcel for additional station parking at $2.32 million, as opposed to
$4.14 million to design and construct a parking garage on existing property at the
Pittsburg/Bay Point BART Station; and
WHEREAS, the Fiscal Oversight Committee for the Pittsburg/Bay Point BART
Station Area Specific Plan, comprised of three elected officials from Contra Costa County
Board of Supervisors, Pittsburg City Council, and BART Board of Directors, voted
unanimously to request the BART Board of Directors authorize BART staff to conduct a
feasibility study to investigate acquisition of the vacant parcel so that the site might be
developed in the future for additional station parking when needed; and
WHEREAS, the feasibility study would not commit BART to acquire the property,
but would only seek to determine a fair asking price for the property, research possible
funding sources for acquisition, and identify a potential timetable for acquisition and
development of the site; and
WHEREAS, the BART Board of Directors will soon consider a request by BART
Director Joel Keller (District 2 - covering eastern Contra Costa County) to authorize a
feasibility study for advanced acquisition of the parcel to provide future additional station
parking needs.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the County of Contra Costa affirms its
support for a feasibility study investigating purchase of the vacant parcel between the Oak
Hills Shopping Center and the Pittsburg/Bay Point BART Station for the purpose of adding
more station parking when needed and strongly encourages the BART Board of Directors
to authorize preparation of the feasibility study.
I hereby certify that the foregoing is a true and
correct copy of an action taken and entered on
