Commissioner Brown referred to the staff proposed modifications, which indicates that the
<br /> business might lose a parking space, and he inquired where large delivery trucks would park,
<br /> given the elimination of the loading zone.
<br /> Ms. Clark said a large truck would likely park adjacent to the customer parking spaces, and
<br /> there is room to park adjacent in the drive aisle.
<br /> Commissioner Brown referred to the loading zone per the applicant's design and asked if it
<br /> was long enough to accommodate a standard delivery truck, which is typical of what would be
<br /> seen outside of a convenience store.
<br /> Commissioner Balch noted that plan sheet SP3 seemed to show the requested information,
<br /> but he was unsure if this was the size truck being referenced.
<br /> Commissioner Balch referred to the 35-foot versus 45-foot driveway and asked what would be
<br /> appropriate. He visited the site and the first driveway closest to the corner, if turning left onto
<br /> Hopyard Road, cannot be accessed because it is already in the turning lane coming off of
<br /> West Las Positas Boulevard. He would assume that this 35-foot versus 45-foot driveway would
<br /> be a primary driveway for much of the traffic on Hopyard Road and he asked for further
<br /> clarification.
<br /> Ms. Clark said the applicant's position is that the 45-foot wide driveway facilitates a faster,
<br /> more convenient turn coming off Hopyard Road. Per the City's Traffic Engineer, the shorter
<br /> driveway forces vehicles to slow down in order to take the turn, which creates a safer
<br /> environment, as opposed to having a larger driveway.
<br /> Commissioner Brown asked if it decreases the opportunity to move safely when crossing two
<br /> lanes of traffic if someone were to be turning left at the intersection from West Las Positas
<br /> Boulevard onto Hopyard Road.
<br /> City Traffic Engineer Mike Tassano explained that the primary concern is exiting or entering
<br /> the location. With 22.5 feet or two lanes to enter or exit the driveway, vehicles travel at a
<br /> greater speed. The City's standard is 27 feet, so it would be a 15-foot driveway entrance and a
<br /> 12-foot exit. At this location, 35 feet works because of the position or angle of the fueling
<br /> station. Specifically, 35 feet versus 45 feet, either way a vehicle would have to enter on the
<br /> right side of the driveway so the extension would be to the south; the entrance point, after
<br /> making a left turn to make the next right turn, would be the same whether it was a 35-foot or
<br /> 45-foot driveway.
<br /> Chair Allen asked for the capacity of this gas station in comparison to the one previously
<br /> approved on Santa Rita Road.
<br /> Mr. Tassano stated it is comparable, but he thinks there are extra fueling positions at the Santa
<br /> Rita location. From a parking perspective, staff had stricter guidelines for the Santa Rita
<br /> location, as well as the gas station on First Street, which has a similar design. Staff was very
<br /> strict on the parking requirements for both of these locations and he has observed those over
<br /> the last few years. The code requirements for parking do not reflect what is seen in the peak
<br /> hours so there is more flexibility in the parking, which is why he would judge the conflicts
<br /> entering and exiting.
