Zoning for the property is C-C (Central Commercial), Downtown Revitalization, Core Area Overlay District. The Planning Commission will also consider the Negative Declaration prepared for the project. Continued to September 11, 1996. f. PUD-96-13. Delta ProDerties Application for Planned Unit Development development plan approval for approximately 49,000 square feet of retail space, an approximately 67,000 square foot hotel with 150 suites, and a 7,700 square foot restaurant located at the northeast corner of Johnson Drive and Owens Drive. Zoning for the property is PUD (Planned Unit Development) - I/C-O (Industrial/Commercial- Office) District. The Planning Commission will also consider the Negative Declaration prepared for the project. Me. Iserson presented the application for a planned unit development rezoning and development plan to construct an approximately 49,250 sq. ft. retail center, a 126-suite extended-stay hotel, a 2,900 sq. ft. fast food restaurant (In-n-Out Burger) and a maximum 8,500 sq. ft. restaurant all on an approximately 9-acre site located at the northeast comer of Owens Drive and Johnson Drive in a center called Pleasanton Park. This parcel backs up to the Hopyard freeway offramp and is adjacent to the Harris office building and Denny's restaurant. The applicants are wishing to ask the City Council to abandon Johnson Court and incorporate it into the site plan. The two major tenants of the retail center are expected to be CompUSA and Beverages & More. The Candlewood Hotel is to be an executive, extended stay residential hotel for business persons who will be in the area from a week to several months. There are kitchen facilities in the suites; there is no other food service in the hotel. From a land use point of view, there is an existing PUD on this site that has many of the types of uses the applicant is requesting. However, the applicant and staff feel it would be more clear to establish a new PUD with new uses that are closely structured to the uses allowed across the street in Pleasanton Square 1. The expanded list of uses is included in the staff report and staff feels it is compatible with the area, complement what is across the street and provide additional services to the community at large. Staff noted the community's desire to have a large hotel with conference facilities. This project is not that type of hotel. Concerns have been expressed that hotels that don't have conference facilities may compete with such a project in the future. The Candlewood Hotel representatives have stated that the proposed hotel would occupy a different nitch in the market by catering to business persons who are in town to work on extended projects and will have minimal impact on the full-service conference hotels. Staff accepts this argument and feels the City would still be able to attract a large, conference-type hotel in the future. Planning Commission Minutes Page 9 August 28, 1996
