Minutes Planning Commission January 11, 1984 Page 4 PUD-83-11, Leisure Sports, Inc. Application of Leisure Sports, Inc. for PUD (Planned Unit Development)-zoning and development plan approval of a major addition to the Amador Valley Athletic Club for an approximately 181,000 sq. ft., 298 room, five story hotel/convention center, additional tennis courts and related facilities on an approximately 16.8 acre site at 7090 Johnson Drive. Zoning for the property is IG (General Industrial) District. A mitigated negative declaration of environmental impacts will also be considered. Mr. Harris presented the staff report stating he has looked at many structures using the Dryvit material in other areas. Commissioner Lindsey stated he realizes the office building is not up for approval but asked about future parking when this structure is built. Mr. Harris stated the applicant hopes that 730 parking spaces will accommodate the office, hotel and club stating that if current standards were applied, the applicant would need approximately 900 spaces. It is possible because of office hours vs. those of the athletic club and hotel there will be sufficient parking. He said it may be possible that the requirements may be changed at the time the office is considered. 730 spaces isn't much more than would be required without the office building. The public hearing was opened. Jim Detrick, Hotel Development Companies, 10335 Rue Chamberry, San Diego, CA 92131, reviewed the project. Marketing analysis has shown that Pleasanton needs meeting space for general community use. They are attempting to create a residential feel on the property.
