The City of Pleasant Hill, as the Lead Agency under the California Environmental Quality Act, has completed a Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) for the proposed Downtown Cleaveland Multi-family Residential Project (proposed project) State Clearinghouse # 2019070457. The Draft EIR is currently available for public review and comment.
The proposed project is a request for a 210-unit multifamily residential project within the proposed Downtown Cleaveland Multi-family Specific Plan (DCMSP). Furthermore, the project proposes a General Plan Amendment for a new Land Use Designation; Very High Density Residential, and a Rezoning to Planned Unit Development/Specific Plan. The project site, located at 85 Cleaveland Road, includes a vacant 2-story office building on 2.33 acres. The Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) for the project is 150-210-059.
The proposed project consists of the development of 210 multi-family residential units ranging from 3 to 5 stories, including three courtyards, a 1,100-square-foot roof deck, outdoor kitchen and dining areas, lounge areas with fire pits, a lap pool, and pet lounge, pet spa, a fitness center, and clubroom lounge. The unused office building and paved parking area currently located on-site, will be removed. Project parking would be provided via a subterranean parking garage with two levels for guests and residents, and five surface level parking spaces for guests. In addition, 60 bicycle parking spaces would be provided on the first level of the subterranean parking garage. Northbound Cleaveland Road would provide vehicle access to the proposed project via underground parking garages. The project would include the installation of an on-site pedestrian network linking the new residential units to on-site amenities and public sidewalks along Cleaveland Road, Crescent Drive, and Boyd Road.
