• Specialty Grocery Store: 23,100 square feet of floor area at 6.7 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet totaling 155 parking spaces. ■ Restaurants: 37,202 square feet of floor area at 5 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet totaling 186 parking spaces. ■ Cinema: 1,000 seats at one parking space per six seats totaling 167 parking spaces. ■ Lifestyle Fitness Center: Parking requirements for the proposed fitness center use are not listed within the PMC and, therefore, are considered on a case-by-case basis. Without knowing the parking requirements for the lifestyle fitness facility at this time, the exact total number of required parking stalls for Stoneridge Mall cannot be stated with certainty. However, the other specified uses would require a total of approximately 5,708 parking stalls, with the bulk of this demand (5,200 spaces) associated with the DA's required 4.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet of department store and mall store area. The proposed 5,360 parking spaces, the overall proposal would be at least 348 parking spaces short of the number required based on parking standards established in the DA, as interpreted by the City. However, the DA includes a specific provision allowing the City to consider parking at a lesser ratio than that stated. The Planning Commission is granted a significant degree of flexibility by the Pleasanton Municipal Code for parking requirements in the C-R District. Section 18.88.030.B.2. states: "C-R District — Parking requirements shall be established by the Zoning Administrator and/or the Planning Commission on a case by case basis in accordance with the purposes of Chapter 18.20 of this title." The applicant proposes use of the Pleasanton Municipal Code's required parking ratios, as an alternative to use of the DA's standards, and believes that adequate parking will be provided for the existing mall uses and the mall expansion. The Planning Commission can determine with its design review action the parking requirements to use for the various uses of this proposal based on the City's parking ratios listed in the PMC as proposed, or other parking ratios, it determines to be appropriate. The parking ratios stated in the Development Agreement exceed (i.e. require more parking) than the City's parking standard of 3.33 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet for retail uses. If the PMC's parking ratios were used, parking for the retail components of the mall would be reduced by 1,352 stalls (5,200 stalls required by the DA, versus 3,848 stalls required by the PMC), for a total of approximately 4,356 parking spaces. This total parking demand does not include the additional parking spaces required for the lifestyle fitness center, but the total PMC -required parking including the fitness center is unlikely to exceed the 5,360 parking spaces proposed. Using the PMC parking requirements, the required parking would be as follows: ■ Department stores and mall stores: 1,155,603 square feet of floor area at 3.33 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet totaling 3,848 parking spaces. ■ Specialty Grocery Store: 155 parking spaces (same as above).
