apartment buildings are filled up, who would have the priority, the residents or the <br /> corporate building. <br /> Mr. Thatch replied that Mr. lnderbitzen or the owners would have to answer that <br /> question. <br /> Mr. Dolan stated that from staff's perspective, residential/office sharing is probably the <br /> ideal situation and this opportunity does not come around often. He indicated that it <br /> makes a lot of common sense that during the work day, the offices are going to be filled <br /> up and the people who live in the place are going to be gone. He added that it would be <br /> a good idea in this location. He noted that somebody mentioned it back in the design <br /> standards because right now, there are lots of spaces, and this is really formalizing what <br /> might occur anyway even if a shared arrangement is not approved. He pointed out that <br /> he cannot really predict a circumstance where there would be a conflict: because on that <br /> big day when they will have a conference with everybody visiting, it would still be a work <br /> day and most residents would be gone. He noted that the last people coming back <br /> home to the apartment building will be there well after the office has cleared out. He <br /> added that if the applicant would have asked for more shared parking, staff would have <br /> considered it because this is a good opportunity to take advantage of that concept. <br /> Padru Kang, Project Architect, Dahlin Group, stated that at a higher density of 35 units <br /> versus a minimum of 30 for the other eight sites, this project has a unique opportunity to <br /> actually share the parking just north of the site. He noted that, as Mr. Dolan mentioned, <br /> it does make sense when it is shared with office, and they would never propose to do <br /> any kind of shared parking with retail. <br /> Mr. Kang then briefly went through some of the items staff had mentioned in the report. <br /> He indicated that staff did a great job and that he enjoyed working with staff as well. He <br /> noted that the Design Guidelines is a great document and that they understand that the <br /> intent is to really try and maintain the high quality standards that the existing Pleasanton <br /> neighborhoods have, which is difficult with a high-density workforce housing. <br /> Mr. Kang stated that what they are trying to do is put parking where it is really needed. <br /> He noted that they really do not have any other opportunities than trying to park around <br /> the central hub, and they have taken staff's consideration to widen the roadway from the <br /> standard 21 feet to 24 feet, consistent with what is on the back side of the alley. He <br /> added that they looked at doing some enhanced paving there to make it feel less like a <br /> parking lot and more like an auto plaza. <br /> Mr. Kang stated that they would like a bit of flexibility with the exception regarding <br /> setting the garage door two feet back to enable them to carry some of the design <br /> around. He indicated that that are focusing on 360-design elements and want to wrap <br /> that around to the back side where they have opportunities to really play with some <br /> articulation and the alleyways are not highly visible. He added that the retail is also <br /> designed to be 360 in terms of architecture, out on the corner of the street near the <br /> intersection, with the driveway and circulation on one side. He noted that there is a <br /> EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, October 10, 2012 Page 6 of 11 <br />
