Staff incorporated the garden center's area into its parking calculation even though the garden center is an open space and, for this reason, technically exempt from the City's parking ordi- nance. Based upon its observations of the Horne Depot stores in Liverrnore, San Ramon, and Pleasanton, staff belicves that the garden center can function as a stand-alone use and, therefore, that its area should be incorporated into the parking calculation. Thc Planning Commission concurred with this position at the previous work sessions on this development. Overall, staff believes that adequate parking would be provided for all of the proposed uses - retail, restaurant/cafes, etc. - and the amount of 1100r area designated for these uses. Bicycle racks are conditioned to be provided for each building to facilitate bicycle parking for this dc- veloprnent. The applicant concurs with this requirement. OtT-Street Bicycle Lanes At the work session, the Planning Commission dirccted staff to provide for safe bicycle routes through the project. The proposed project provides a designated bike route on Stanley Boulevard and Bernal Avenue within the road section along with the ability to ride on a ten-foot wide - Stanley Boulevard - and an eight-foot wide - Bernal Avenue - scparated sidewalk. The sidewalks adjoining Stanley Boulevard and Bernal Avenue would be separated from thc street curb by a fivc-foot widc plant- ing strip. These designated bike routes will be in addition to the bike lanes to be provided in these street rights-of.-way. Figure 10 is a section through Stanley Boulevard showing the street, separated sidewalk, and building. .' f, . , ' ~ " <~<I:" "'I~ .-." 1 " '.. " " '^) ~ >" .-.- j,U!..,....lIi..;.j--,.....-. < ,.
