The San Ramon Planning Commission is poised to weigh in this week on a subdivision application for a commercial condominium project that could more than double the units at an office park in the city’s northwest corner.
If approved, the application would allow for more than 50 commercial units at 200 and 210 Porter Drive as well as shifting the 19 existing units from for-lease to commercial condominium arrangements, in which units are owned or leased out by individual occupants rather than the owner of the overall property.
While no redevelopment or new construction is currently being proposed for the site, the applicant, Pleasanton-based Ware Malcomb Inc., is seeking approval for up to 53 units in the future, having amended the application last month to increase that number from 30, which was proposed in the initial application.
Leases for the existing tenants – which include the preschool and daycare center BuildingKidz, the Tri-Valley’s only Planned Parenthood clinic, and numerous other medical and professional offices – are set to remain in place until their expiration, at which point property owner Deerwood Investors would decide between extending the lease or selling the site to new buyers.
“The applicant anticipates this process may take years before all the condos are vacated and sold,” assistant planner Lucas Haase wrote in a staff report for the upcoming meeting.
The commission is set to meet at 6 p.m. Tuesday (March 3). The agenda is available here.
