Rendering of the redevelopment planned for the Concar Drive shopping center in San Mateo.
Residents are starting to get involved in the redevelopment plans for a Concar Drive shopping center in San Mateo, which houses the Peninsula Lively Arts and TJ Maxx.
Several months ago, the developer Brookfield Properties unveiled changes from its original 2020 development plans on the site. According to the plans, the property will include 847 units, 186 of which will be considered affordable. The units will be a mix of townhomes — which will be for sale — and apartments.
The original proposal called for 961 units, only 73 of which would be affordable.
During a recent neighborhood meeting, residents expressed concern over traffic impacts in and around the area, as well as parking availability for residents.
Jason Bernstein, director of acquisition at Brookfield Residential, said the development firm is working closely with the city and Trader Joe’s to understand parking needs, however, underground parking isn’t an option.
“The site is on old Bay mud, which is pretty challenging from a structural perspective,” Bernstein said.
Kohar Kojayan, principal managing partner at Koh Planning, added that, as part of the city’s General Plan development over the last several years, it had already identified the area as a future housing site and planned for its impact.
“The city’s General Plan did assume construction of 961 units on the site as part of the background studies because it was already an approved project,” Kojayan said.
The Trader Joe’s and 7-Eleven store will remain, however, the former will maintain its same location within the site. Both will remain open during the construction phase. There could also be about 3,300 square feet available on-site for commercial retail use, though, it depends on whether Peninsula Lively Arts remains there.
Debbie Chin, interim executive director of Peninsula Lively Arts, said she hoped the dance center would be able to stay on the property.
“We did express an intention and a desire to have that 3,300-square-foot building set aside for us,” Chin said. “Our intent to occupy that remains high, so I want to make sure that we don’t get left out with that intention.”
Bernstein said they will try to ensure the business can remain there.
“We have offered to work with Peninsula Lively Arts to help them find alternative space in town,” Bernstein said. “They’ve also expressed interest in staying on site, we’ll have to figure out if there is some space that works for them, and we have offered to help them connect to others.”
