Project

• The Union City Station District is a district that requires high-density, mixed-use development around the Union City BART/Intermodal Station. The Station District is based upon the Intermodal Station District and Transit Facility Plan that the City adopted in 2002 and is now implementing. Implementation includes two components: 1) land use planning and infrastructure for development; and 2) design, engineering and construction for the Intermodal Station.

Land Use

• General Plan requires 45-80 dwelling units/acre;
• Station District Plan will provide up to 1688 new units within ¼ mile of the Intermodal Station (1,854 new units within ½ mile)
• Fifteen percent affordable housing units (very low and low income rental units, low and moderate income owner-occupied units)
• Up to 1.2 million square feet of office/R&D to be built within ½ mile of the Intermodal station over the life of the Plan
• Plan identifies local serving retail to support the district.
• Public facility and open space/plaza
