Bicycles: The Standards for the proposed project require 0.8 secured and weather protected bicycle spaces per apartment unit (177 units x 0.8 = 142 spaces required). On-site,the project is proposing to provide a total of 150 bicycle parking spaces (130 spaces in the private parking garages, and 20 spaces in separate bike storage rooms). The Standards also require a minimum of two public bike racks per 50 dwelling units which must be located within 100 ft. of main entries (7 racks required). The project is conditioned to provide a minimum of seven bike racks as required by the Standards. The Pleasanton Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan recommends a paved trail on the south side of the Arroyo Mocho waterway. The Plan does not include a trail on the north side of the Arroyo Mocho waterway between Hopyard Road and Santa Rita Road. As such, no gate providing direct access from the proposed development to the north side Arroyo Mocho is proposed. Staff believes that proposed project is appropriately designed and promotes the City's Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan. Parking The Standards established minimum parking requirements for the Transit Orientated Development sites, but defers to the Pleasanton Municipal Code for off-street parking requirements for all other sites such as this one. The Code requires the following parking ratio for dwelling units based on the number of bedrooms: a. For apartments with two bedrooms or less, a minimum of two spaces shall be required for each of the first four units; one and one-half spaces for each additional unit. b. For apartments with three or more bedrooms a minimum of two spaces per unit shall be required. Parking requirements for units having less than three bedrooms shall be computed separately from the requirements for units having three bedrooms or more and then added together. The Code also requires the project to provide visitor parking, in a ratio of one parking space for each seven (1:7) units. The proposed project contains a total of 162 dwelling units that have two or few bedrooms, and a total of 15 dwelling units that have three bedrooms. As such, a total of 300 parking spaces would be required for the proposed development, among which 275 parking spaces would be for the residents and 25 parking spaces would be for visitors. As proposed, the project would have a total of 304 parking spaces, exceeding the requirements by four extra parking spaces. A total of 304 parking spaces are proposed on-site, exceeding the requirement by providing four additional parking spaces. A combination of 130 garages and 124 carports, provide for 254 covered spaces. The remaining 50 are uncovered surface stalls.
