Vice Chair Nagler asked the applicant representative if she was aware of any dealerships that would operate in that configuration of a site. The applicant representative replied she had come across one in Mountain View—a smaller, three-story BMW dealership in the middle of the city. Commissioner Allen elaborated on Vice Chair Nagler's question, explaining how she understood his question to mean within Pleasanton are there opportunities, and knowing we already have a BMW dealership and a BMW Mini dealership associated with it which is 14,000 square feet, are there other dealerships and what is the market opportunity for dealerships of that size that aren't already in Pleasanton. Commissioner O'Connor added how it also begs the question as to whether we are sacrificing Lot 2. Lot 3 is the largest of the three. He said it just seems odd that we would maybe put ourselves in a position where we can't find a dealership to take that small of a lot when we have another lot right next to it that's larger than even the Chrysler lot. Commissioner Brown brought up the fact the'workshop is in regards to the parking lot which hasn't materially changed between the PUD-106 plan and what's proposed tonight. He expressed concern that the issue of a potential future application for the dealership#2 is immaterial to this.application. Mr. Weinstein clarified, restating Ms.. Hagen's previous comment, which was that there absolutely will be the opportunity in the future when future dealerships come to reconfigure dealership#3 and dealership #2. He reminded the Commission that there is flexibility to do that because each dealership that comes in will need its own PUD development plan. Commissioner Ritter asked if dealerships generally do land leases or do they own the land and the building. More specifically, he asked the applicant representative, is Mr. Zaheri interested in selling these, lots off or just land leasing them. The applicant representative was unsure but believed he would either lease the land or remain the business and land owner. Ms. Hagen offered to provide further information after discussing with the applicant. Commissioner Ritter asked if CarMax owned the property. Ms. Hagen replied, yes, CarMax does own the property. The applicant representative said Mr. Zaheri has mentioned many times that he actually bought this land and he developed phase 1 and he does not have anything in mind yet for those two dealership sites yet he still does need the parking spaces that could serve #1. Furthermore, he has expressed interest in moving around some of the parcels in the future to satisfy other needs. DRAFT EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, June 28, 2017 Page 6 of 10
