Discussion Point 1: Would it be appropriate to rezone the site from the current C-N District to a
<br /> PUD-C District in order to allow a 24-hour convenience market with the sale of alcoholic
<br /> beverages and a drive-through car wash in conjunction with the existing gas station?
<br /> Commissioners unanimously concurred with rezoning of the site.
<br /> Discussion Point 2: Should the proposed triangular-shaped building be revised to a
<br /> rectangular-shaped building oriented perpendicular to Hopyard Road, and to eliminate the
<br /> loading space?
<br /> Commissioner Balch said he acknowledged the burden that the church has carried but also
<br /> said the applicant is trying to be a good neighbor through design to help alleviate some of the
<br /> issues. He likes the applicant's design for the triangular-shaped building and thinks it is a
<br /> building type that doesn't currently exist in the City of Pleasanton. He said he thinks the
<br /> orientation is better as a result, thinks the loading space is critical, cited other gas station
<br /> situations, and said he believes it is a good idea to have a loading zone in this location.
<br /> Chair Allen said she agrees for the same reasons and added that with the home plate design,
<br /> it also provides a narrower opening to Hopyard Road and provides the bioswale, which creates
<br /> blockage and would likely prevent fewer people from parking in the church parking lot. This
<br /> design is also safer for vehicles when they are reversing versus the rectangular design which
<br /> backs up on the street, therefore, this design creates more of a buffer zone.
<br /> Commissioner Balch agreed and said the design has created a safer situation.
<br /> Chair Allen said as a side note, which she will return to under Discussion Point 4, in regard to
<br /> the triangular design, she would like to see more façade enhancements to the north side of the
<br /> building for those traveling south on Hopyard Road.
<br /> Commissioner Ritter thinks the triangular design is better, likes the employee parking near the
<br /> entrance to the carwash and feels spaces will be used appropriately. His only concern is the
<br /> walkway going into the electrical room and asked for proposed enhancements. He recognized
<br /> the applicant is trying to remove everything off the church lot and believes this is a viable
<br /> option.
<br /> Commissioner Brown echoed previous comments. He prefers the triangular design because it
<br /> provides more access for people reversing, it is a much more attractive building, and he would
<br /> argue this has been done at the location on Santa Rita Road and Valley Avenue.
<br /> Commissioner O'Connor concurred and noted the Commission is unanimous. He voiced
<br /> support to make the site more aesthetically appealing, thinks a barrier or fence is needed and
<br /> should be erected, however, it shouldn't be taller than four feet to help keep vehicles out.
<br /> Discussion Point 3: Are the proposed site plan, circulation, and parking acceptable?
<br /> Commissioner Brown expressed concern over the proposed removal of the loading zone. He
<br /> understands deliveries are typically done later at night but said the UPS truck that frequents
<br /> the Amazon drop-off locker would be the perfect place to park during the day, so he thinks it

<br />ce trash enclosures.
<br /> Mr. Hirst finished by pointing out the other areas where 18-wheel trucks will park and said he
<br /> has seen where they park. They want to get them out of there and they placed "No 7-Eleven
<br /> Parking" signs in these areas, trying to promote people to park elsewhere. They are doing
<br /> everything they can to get them off the church property.

<br />pyard Road 7-Eleven store is
<br /> very different and he presented pictures of other convenience stores showing reasonable
<br /> access, and asked that the Commission consider safety, noting their primary concern is the
<br /> lack of parking spaces on the site.
