SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
NO 2�0�o�L
RECOMMENDATION: ADOPT Resolution,authoriz ng the submittal of an application to the
California Department of Housing and Community Development for Proposition 1-C Transit-
Oriented Development Infrastructure Grant funds in an amount not to exceed $10 million for BART
Station Enhancements and a Bicycle Station as part of the Contra Costa Centre Transit Village
project at the Pleasant Hill BART Station (No General Funds)
FINANCIAL IMPACT: No General Fund impact. Matching funds have been identified as part of
the Redevelopment Agency's budget, and as part of the BART Transit Village business
agreements. Total matching fund sources are $3.5 million.
BACKGROUND:
The BART Transit Village at the Pleasant Hill Station represents a significant investment in a
smartgrowth transit-oriented development. The Transit Village is expected to break ground
around July 1 , 2008. The residential/mixed-use project will include 422 residential apartments,
100 for-sale condominiums, 35,590 square feet of retail, and a 290,000 square foot office building,
including a 20,000 square foot business conference center. This exemplary project will be
immediately adjacent to the BART fare gates. An aspect of the Transit Village is to work with
BART to freshen the visual appearance of the BART platform, the older parking garage, and the
inter-modal area. An additional component of the Transit Village is the inclusion of a Bicycle
Station, preferably an assisted and staffed operation. Approximately $3.5 million of funding have
been identified from the Redevelopment Agency and from the BART business transaction. While
this is a meaningful amount, consultations with BART technical staff suggest that BART facility
modernization could be more expensive than contemplated.
