Pleasant Hill BART Station
SPECIFIC REQUESTS} OR RECOMMIENDATION(S) & 11ACKrxR0UND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Refer to the Pleasant Hill BART Specific Plan Review
Committee the following measures for consideration and
assessment to relieve future traffic congestion around the
Pleasant Hill BART Station:
a) application of the Traffic Zone Management (TZM)
performance standards for Central Business District as
adopted by the General Plan Congress (this would
decrease the traffic level objections around the
station to mid-Level E and would set higher standards
for traffic reduction by the development around the
BART station) ;
b) reduction of allowable density (FAR) of construction,
provided the financial requirements of new
infrastructure can be met;
C) feasibility of increasing TSM goals to require less
single-occupant vehicle use by tenants and employees by
establishing a comprehensive system of park and ride
lots outside the BART area;
d) feasibility of annexing the Pleasant Hill BART Station
to the City of Pleasant Hill.
BACKGROUND
Although the Pleasant Hill BART Specific Plan was developed
with the cooperation of several public agencies and the
homeowners groups through years of public meetings and
hearings, the regional growth and increase in traffic
requires the Board of Supervisors to take aggressive steps
to mitigate the future traffic congestion at the Pleasant
Hill BART Station.
ACTION OF BOARD ON APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED --±L OTHER
The Board agreed to the above recommendations as matters for
discussion, indicated that it would be appropriate to discuss some
sort of revenue sharing agreement in conjunction with discussing
annexation, and declared that the development and traffic impact
around the Pleasant Hill Bart Station area is a Matter of regional
concern that must be dealt with on a regional basis. The Board agreed
to adding a representative of the City of Concord to the Committee,
appointed Supervisors McPeak and Schroder as the Board' s
representatives on the Pleasant Hill BART Specific Plan Review
Committee, and requested staff to make a presentation at the next
meeting of the Committee to bring eveyone up to date on what has

and report on the legal, tax and revenue implications related to the
