Commissioner Balch asked, and Mr. Luchini confirmed that staff evaluated the traffic and by capping the restaurant use at 3,349 square feet, the trips generated by the project would be fewer trips than the TIA would show. Commissioner Brown asked, with respect to coffee and donut shops whether these would be different from the restaurant uses that would go into unit A5. Mr. Luchini responded that a "coffee shop" use going into Suite A5 would not be along the lines of a Starbucks or Peets or one of the larger chain coffee shops, rather more along the lines of a diner style restaurant that may happen to serve coffee or have a coffee bar as a side or ancillary element. Commissioner Balch asked why coffee/donut/bagel shops had been especially called out Mr. Luchini confirmed they were specifically called out so that they would be excluded from the more general restaurant category and could be addressed separately. Commissioner Balch asked, and Mr. Luchini confirmed that coffee shops, etc. would be included in the overall square footage envelope for the new commercial building; however, based on their higher trip generation that could affect the square footage of other uses proposed within the new commercial building. Commissioner Balch asked if there were any other high traffic-generating uses within the restaurant designation that should also be more specifically addressed. Referencing the TIA, Mr. Luchini noted that it had analyzed the "fast food" category, which is a different category within the over-arching restaurant category. Commissioner Balch noted that this went to his exact concern, which is that there could be large differences in traffic patterns between different types of restaurant uses, like sit-down versus fast food restaurants, but they still all fall into the restaurant land use category. Planning Manager Ellen Clark clarified Commissioner Balch's question, whether there is a more impactful restaurant use other than fast food that should also be called out. Her understanding is that fast food is one of the highest trip generating restaurant categories, and there are no other types of restaurant uses that would be more impactful. Commissioner Balch said the restaurant category between fast food and the restaurant category which is one impact level below fast food is the restaurant category he is trying to ask about it, and he suggested calling it "coffee shops" at this point. Ms. Clark stated coffee shops are a little different because they have a different a.m./p.m. pattern, so it is not just total daily trips but also the timing of those trips; coffee and donut shops happen to have a very high a.m. peak trip generation associated with them. Other restaurant categories have a more balanced trip distribution or may skew to the pm peak. Commissioner Balch said one of the things he is trying to evaluate is that if restaurants are coming in for a PUD because it is not initially zoned as such, and the Commission would be Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 19 September 25, 2019 s not to have to re-evaluate it later on. Commissioner Brown paraphrased Commissioner Balch's comments that indicate the Commission would like to see a range for the size and spaces.
