The representative of the applicant, offering no objections, upon motion of Commissioner Gibbs, seconded by Commissioner Arnold, and carried, the Public Hearing was continued. Mr. George Oakes stood up and explained that he felt a study at this time of the regional shopping center sites would be premature and requested permission to bring in his study with the number of people estimated to be in the area in years to come. Upon motion of Commissioner Arnold, seconded by Co®issioner Gibbs, and carried, the following resolution was adopted unanimously. RESOLUTION N0. 896 WHEREAS, the application of Spivak-Bollinger Development Company to rezone from an A (Agricultural) District to a C-F (Commercial Freeway) District that property described as Parcel 15 of Assessor's Map Book 946, Block 1100, containing 1.37 acres, more or less, and bounded by Santa Rita Road and Tassajara Road (Public Hearing continued from April 23, 1969). NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that RZ-69-5 be continued to the regular meeting of the Planning Commission on June 25, 1969, to permit the Planning staff to conduct a study on service station sites and the feasibility of locating a regional shopping center at the intersection of Santa Rita Road and West Las Positas Boulevard. b. UP-69-9, Rinker Development Comnanv Application to allow the construction of a service station on the southeast corner of HoPSn rd Road and Interstate X580, containing .64 acres, more or-less, in a C-F (Commercial Freeway) District (Public Hearing continued from April 23, 1969). Chairman Plato opened the Public Hearing. Mr. Castro demonstrated to the Commissioners a revised plan showing a modification in the driveways for the service station site. The Planning Director advised the Commissioners that it should be made clear to the applicant that the overall site plan is to be part of the service station approval insofar as to how the service station will be integrated with the proposed motel complex. It is also recommended that the site plan be labeled Exhibit A and that as subsequent portions of the project are built, said phases of development shall conform substantially with the approved exhibit. If this condition is understood by the applicant and the Commissioners, then the staff feels that a favorable recommendation can be made to allow the complex to be built in stages. However, this point must be stressed to Rinker Development Company. The Planning Director advised his concern regarding the parking provided between the service Station and the restaurant or motel although approval for the overall complex will be subject to the submission of the design plans as approved and reviewed by the Design Review Board. Mr. Phillip Smith, representing Rinker Development Company, was in the audience and concurred with the comments made by Mr. Castro, as well as with the staff report. Chairman Plato had a question regarding the timing for the completion of the rest of the complex. Mr. Smith explained that the motel business is a very "tough" business and that it takes a long time to put any complex together. A reasonable time table for the complex would be three to four months for the service station to go into construction, within nine months for the restaurant and one year for the first phase of the motel to begin. - 2 -
