Site Layout <br />The proposed approximately 5,399- square -foot restaurant would be located approximately 60 <br />feet from the north property line (1 -580 EB Hopyard Road off - ramp), 18 feet from the east <br />property line (Hopyard Road), 42 feet from the west property line (business park side), and 100 <br />feet from the proposed southern property line. Staff believes the proposed setbacks are <br />acceptable as there would be an adequate buffer between the restaurant and roadways. <br />Grading, Drainage and Utility, and Stormwater Requirements <br />Grading: The southern portion of the site is relatively flat and is part of an existing parking lot. <br />The northern portion of site slopes up approximately eight feet from south -to -north. The 1 -580 <br />EB Hopyard Road off -ramp is approximately eight feet higher in elevation than the flat portion of <br />the project site. <br />The preliminary grading plan shows that a building pad would be created with the proposed <br />building's finished floor at 299 feet above sea level. Grading would be performed to remove the <br />dirt for the building pad and outdoor dining area, and retaining walls would be constructed to <br />hold the upslope on the north side of the project area. As proposed, a two- tiered retaining wall <br />is proposed along the project site abutting the 1 -580 EB Hopyard Road off -ramp. The height of <br />the retaining walls would vary from a maximum of eight ft. tall at the 1 -580 EB Hopyard Road <br />off -ramp to 3 ft. tall at Hopyard Road. The retaining walls would be located approximately three <br />and one -half feet apart to allow landscaping to be planted between the walls. The proposed <br />retaining walls would have a stone face with concrete cap matching the building wainscot. <br />Drainage and Utilities: The on -site drainage system would connect to the existing drainage <br />system at Pleasanton Square 11 Shopping Center. As mentioned previously, an existing <br />CalTrans storm drain line is located diagonally across the northern portion of the site. The <br />applicant has obtained approval from CalTrans to relocate the existing stormwater line and <br />create a stormwater easement adjacent to the northern property line. <br />Stormwater Treatment: <br />Storm water runoff will be directed towards landscaped bio- retention planters located in various <br />areas of the site for treatment before draining into the City's storm drain system. As <br />conditioned, staff finds the proposed grading and drainage plan to be acceptable and in <br />compliance with applicable stormwater runoff requirements. <br />Design and Architecture <br />The building design shows a gable roof with a hipped roof over the tower element. The roof <br />design includes exposed rafter tails and knee braces. The body of the building would be <br />finished with stucco with a stone veneer wainscot. A horizontal trim band would help break up <br />the building massing. In addition, trellises and awnings are included on the elevations to add <br />interest to the otherwise blank walls. <br />The proposed roof would include a roof well for the placement of roof -top heating, ventilation, <br />and air conditioning units so that all roof -top equipment would be screened from off -site. <br />P13- 2533/PUD- 100/PUD- 96- 13 -02M Planning Commission <br />Page 15 of 27 <br />
