Pleasanton Planning Commission Rejects Mixed-Use Development

The Pleasanton Planning Commission is reviewing a proposal to build a mixed-use residential and commercial building at 231 Old Bernal Avenue, but staff recommends denial. Key facts: - The project would demolish a 6,160 sq ft office to build a 34-foot-tall, three-story building with four units.

- Staff cites incomplete plans and deviations from city policies as reasons for denial. - The commission will also consider rezoning two church properties for up to 10 housing units each.

- Fusion Academy seeks to expand its school and increase student capacity from 40 to 65. The commission's decisions will impact local housing and development.
