The San Ramon Planning Commission is meeting today to further review the plan to redevelop a large area at 6001 Bollinger Canyon Road. The project, entitled ‘The Orchards’, was previously reported on by SF YIMBY in May of this year, and before that, a different project was proposed at the same location under its original name of Chevron Park. Sunset Development Company is responsible for the project, and their representatives will be speaking before the commission.

The development is a large-scale area broken into three zones. The first area is a mixed-use district in the northern corner of the site. The area will include 619 housing units and approximately 125,000 square feet of commercial space. Meanwhile, the western area of the site will be built up as multi-family rental apartments and condominiums. The seven parcels will add together a total of 1,465 units, making it the densest part of the development. The final area is labeled as a neighborhood district and will include mostly single-family townhomes and unattached houses.

The development is located adjacent to the Bishop Ranch commercial area with nearby access to shops and restaurants. The project will also benefit from the nearby access to Interstate 680 and local transit lines already serving the San Ramon City Center, making the location a strong spot for densification.
More information about the project and the different area details can be found in SF YIMBY’s previous reporting available here. The meeting will begin at 6:00 pm on July 15. More information about the meeting agenda and how to participate can be found here.
