Natalie's idea at one point on our third or fourth revision was to stretch the houses out and pull <br /> them apart so they're not so close and so they are wider with more space around them and <br /> then we decided to make the office look more office-like and more commercial. So Tim kind of <br /> tweaked it, pulled it forward, gave it some outside seating in the front, raised the ceiling plates <br /> and all of the transom windows made the ceilings higher and kind of turned the building. That <br /> got us our magic missing parking spot. So all along we were under the illusion that we nailed <br /> the parking and nailed the height. From our last project with Brian Bowers the feedback was to <br /> keep it under 30 feet. We heard that loud and clear from everybody. So they are 29'8". <br /> Tim Ward: 29'10" and I think one is 30' to the peak. <br /> Carey: 29'11" are the heights. So we thought we nailed the parking. The parking for our <br /> neighbor next door is one space per studio. We're in the Core Area Overlay district which <br /> carries through the whole downtown so we share that same right to do cool stuff, core overlay, <br /> a little flexibility, but the 0 zoning kind of clips us a little bit. We're ready to debate that though. <br /> We have 0 zoning and now we need two spaces per studio. So we can have two spaces per <br /> two-bedroom, three-bedroom, four-bedroom, five-bedroom. Is it up to seven bedrooms? Is <br /> that right? For the apartments? <br /> Amos: Yes. <br /> Carey: So technically, by right, we could have a seven bedroom apartment on top and we <br /> need two spaces. So to me, the zoning and where we're at on this parcel defies common <br /> sense if we're trying to do three studios, we're trying to get a new type of housing downtown. <br /> For our neighbor he only needs one space which we have. For us, technically because we're <br /> in the 0 zone, we need six spaces but we could put a giant apartment up top of seven <br /> bedrooms and would need two spaces, so just kind of a weird twist on the whole examination <br /> of the rules and what we have been going through with our research. <br /> We still want to stick with the three studios. We'd like to go with the Core Area Overlay district <br /> which allows us one space per studio, and I just wanted to jump in on the map. Could you <br /> show the map of the downtown again; the purple zones? <br /> So you're seeing the purple as Office. Well, the Old Bernal piece is truly zoned 0 (Office). The <br /> whole Peters Street, which you guys did the project for Brian Bowers and the 377—that is <br /> zoned C-C but overlaid to O. So it doesn't have 0 zoning which the piece that we're working <br /> on tonight does. So those sites are zoned C-C but they have an overlay to 0, which the <br /> intention was to soften the blow for the neighborhood maybe, but then I question when they do <br /> the Specific Plan again, why the whole First Street that faces Express Liquors and Specialty <br /> Sales and all of that—that faces a residential district and that goes straight to C-C. So why do <br /> we only want to buffer the west neighbors a little bit and overlay to 0 but leave the east <br /> neighbors out of this. To point out, all the other purples; Ray Street and everything you're <br /> seeing as purple, the true zoning is still C-C. They either PUD'd it to 0 or they built 0, but their <br /> right by law is C-C zoning which is what we'd like this site to have. <br /> I have some paperwork for you guys. It's just something from the Pleasanton Downtown <br /> Association and I'll hand out a couple of things real quick and then I'll let Tim jump in. The PDA <br /> recommended what direction they'd like to see on the site. Then I talked to the neighbor next <br /> door too which is the big white building. <br /> EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, May 25, 2016 Page 6 of 22 <br />
