San Ramon Just Got Permission to Build Something Huge

San Ramon, CA – The San Ramon Planning Commission has approved the CityWalk Master Plan-Bishop Ranch-3A Apartment Project. The project, set to be developed by Avalon Bay Communities, will occupy a 5.74-acre vacant parcel at 6200 Bollinger Canyon Road.
The development will include two residential apartment buildings totaling 457 units, connected by breezeway.

The northern building is proposed as a 7-story multifamily residential “wrap” building, which will feature 11,400 square feet of leasing and resident amenities, and 640 parking stalls within a parking structure at the core of the building. The southern building is a 5-story multifamily structure with a pool surrounded by residential units.

This project is part of the broader CityWalk Master Plan, which has analyzed and planned for up to 4,500 dwelling units, a 169-key hotel, 166,000 square feet of commercial uses, new parking structures, and publicly accessible, privately owned, and maintained parks and public spaces.
The Bishop Ranch-3A Project represents a portion of the housing units already anticipated by the CityWalk Master Plan.

The CityWalk Master Plan Environmental Impact Report has determined that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment. An Environmental Impact Report was prepared for this project pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
