building would be sited towards the street with parking located on the west side and rear of the building. The building would generally match the design and colors/materials of the existing Hopyard Village Shopping Center buildings: tan-colored stucco walls with brown- and green-colored wood trim, covered walkways, and a terra cotta-colored, mansard-style concrete the roof. Two tower elements would be added to provide interest and focal points for the building entries. The building would measure 22'h-feet high, as measured from the grade to the top of the upper parapet, and 32-feet high, as measured to the top of the tallest tower. Proposed vehicular access to the site would be provided by the existing driveway at the western end of the site, which is a shared driveway with the Hopyard Village Shopping Center. The existing easternmost driveway would be removed. A total of 11 off-street parking spaces are proposed for the site, comprised of eight standard-sized spaces (including one handicap accessible space) and three compact-sized spaces. Reciprocal parking agreements would be created to allow shared parking between the proposed commercial building and the Hopyard Village Shopping Center. The application would also create the allowable uses for the subject property. The applicants are requesting that the permitted and conditionally permitted uses for the subject property be those of the C-C (Central Commercial) zoning district of the Pleasanton Municipal Code (please see Attachment #7.c. for a list of the C-C uses). As conditioned by the Planning Commission, future tenants could not use fryers or grills. Please refer to the attached Planning Commission staff report, dated February 14, 2007, and the proposed plans for additional project information. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION The Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 14, 2007 to review the subject application. Detailed information on this meeting is provided by the attached excerpts of the Planning Commission minutes. No members of the public spoke at the hearing. The Commission approved the application on a 4-0 vote. The Commission modified the uses to prohibit fryers or grills on the subject property in order to preclude fast food restaurants; any future proposal for this use would require a PUD modification. DISCUSSION Staff and the Planning Commission believe that the proposed site plan and positioning of the building is appropriate for the subject site. Furthermore, the proposed building is attractive and contains design elements that add visual interest to the elevations. A detailed analysis and discussion of the proposal is included in the attached Planning Commission staff report dated February 14, 2007, including: General Plan conformity, zoning and uses, site plan, traffic and circulation, parking, grading and drainage, building design, signage, and landscaping.
