Land Use Concepts and Evaluation Criteria Whitepaper
• Introduction • Focus Area Land Use Concepts
– Greater Station District Area – Union City Boulevard Corridor – Horner-Veasy Area
• Other Areas • Citywide Land Use Alternatives • Proposed Evaluation Criteria
![Page 5: Union City General Plan Update · – Should one or more concepts be modified? – Are there additional focus area or citywide concepts the City should consider? PROPOSED EVALUATION](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081408/60580f3638de9e1b28474cff/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Overview and Purpose
• What we are doing at this point in the process: – Confirming the land use alternatives that will be
evaluated as part of the General plan Update – Confirming the criteria that will be used to analyze and
compare the impacts and implications of the alternatives • What we are not doing at this point the process:
– Identifying preferences or selecting one concept over another
– Speculating on the impacts or implications of the concepts

EDAT & GPAC Comments
• Add a grade-separation or other projects to connect Whipple Road RR crossing
• Consider an alternative with a new high school on the west side of town
• Other alternative considerations – Land for parks – Entertainment uses – A higher-education campus – New library – Police station/facilities – Renewable energy facilities
