The applicant is proposing 16 spaces on the restaurant site to the south of the restaurant <br />building and the remaining parking demand (30 spaces) would be provided by the 113 excess <br />parking spaces in the shopping center. <br />To confirm that there would be excess parking spaces available at the shopping center for the <br />proposed use, the traffic study prepared by Hexagon Transportation Consultants (Exhibit C) for <br />the proposed project included an analysis of parking demand and supply. To evaluate the <br />existing parking demand adjacent to the project site, parking surveys were conducted between <br />12:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 7t , 2013 and between 12:00 p.m. and 6:00 <br />p.m. on Tuesday, September 10`h, 2013. The parking areas surveyed were areas located within <br />Pleasanton Square II Shopping Center and the existing office building located at 6111 Johnson <br />Court. The survey included the areas between the retail stores (BevMo! and Smart & Final) <br />and restaurant (In -N -Out Burger) as this area would be more directly accessible to the project <br />site than the hotel site. The survey did not include the hotel portion as the consultant was <br />informed that hotel parking is for hotel guests only. The survey results showed that the <br />maximum parking demand in the parking lot between BevMo!, Smart & Final, and In -N -Out <br />Burger was 132 vehicles on a typical weekday and 153 vehicles on a typical Saturday. The <br />parking supply in this area is 219 spaces (there would be 214 parking spaces in this area after <br />implementation of the project). Therefore, the parking surveys indicate that the existing parking <br />supply at the shopping center would be sufficient to accommodate the anticipated parking <br />demand of the proposed Chick- fil -A. Although some of the parking spaces in the shopping <br />center may not be convenient for the public to use due to their distance from the Chick -fil -A <br />building, staff finds it acceptable that the proposed restaurant would use the additional parking <br />spaces located in the adjoining shopping center. <br />Parking at 6111 Johnson Court: The subject site is currently occupied by a two -story office <br />building with a gross floor area of approximately 14,746 square feet. The site provides a total of <br />72 parking spaces. With the proposed project, the northern portion of this office site would <br />become part of the proposed project site through a lot line adjustment. As such, the number of <br />parking spaces for the office building would be reduced from 72 spaces to 55 spaces. The <br />Pleasanton Municipal Code requires one space for each 300 square feet of gross floor area for <br />professional office uses, except for medical and dental uses. The office building would require <br />49 spaces for non - medical uses. The 55 spaces provided would meet the non - medical parking <br />requirement. <br />Staff notes that when the Hopyard Road improvement takes place (a right -turn lane, a five -foot <br />wide bike lane, and a four -foot wide sidewalk would be installed on the west side of Hopyard <br />Road), the existing office site would be required to dedicate land along the Hopyard Road <br />frontage for the improvement. The roadway dedication would require the removal of seven <br />existing parking spaces located along Hopyard Road. When the roadway is dedicated, the <br />office site would have a deficiency of one parking space. The property owner will then be <br />required to reconfigure the parking lot to add one more parking space, or to transfer one of the <br />Chick -fil -A parking spaces to the office site. A condition of approval addresses this <br />requirement. <br />P13- 2533 /PUD- 100 /PUD- 96- 13 -02M Planning Commission <br />Page 20 of 27 <br />
