At a Public Hearing on February 3, 2026, the San Ramon Planning Commission approved Resolution No. 02-26, approving the Orchards Development Project (the site of the former Chevron Park property) consisting of the Orchards Master Plan and Orchards Neighborhood District Development (applications MJ 2024-0004, DP 2024-0006, DP 2024-0008, AR 2024-0013, TRP 2024-0009, and ENVR 2025-0003).
On February 12, 2026, the City received an appeal of the Planning Commission’s approval of the Orchards Development Project.
The City Council considered the appeal as part of a special City Council Meeting on April 7, 2026. The City Council voted unanimously to deny the appeal and uphold the Planning Commission's original project approval.
A recording of the meeting is available to watch on the City website and on YouTube (item begins at 2:37).
The proposed Orchards Development Project would demolish the former Chevron office park; subdivide the property to create three Districts on approximately 92 acres for Mixed-Use, Multi-Family, and Single Family/Townhomes uses; a master plan to construct up to 2,510 residential units over the course of 20 years; a development plan for the Neighborhood District consisting of 368 units and 58 optional accessory dwelling units, and develop associated private roads, parking and landscape.
