Z-98-145 Diane and Edward Churka (Coffee Roast Exoressl Application for design review approval to allow use of the second-floor attic space for an additiona12,450-square feet of commercial office space in a building under construction located at 780 Main Street and to meet the off-street parking requirements through an in-lieu fee agreement. Zoning for the property is C-C (Central Commercial) District. Mr. Iserson presented the staff report and stated that the project, located on an approximately 16,000-square foot site on the corner of Main Street and Ray Street in the Downtown area, was originally approved in 1995 fora 3,956-squaze foot one-story building for a coffee store and cafe, and is currently under construction. He noted that one of the conditions of that approval was that the building be engineered and constructed to accommodate a second floor. He explained that the applicant is now requesting to convert the previously-approved second-floor attic azea into office space and part of the first-floor azea into leasable retail space. To satisfy building code requirements for access to the second-floor office, the applicant will provide two stairways to the second floor, one on each end of the building. The stairway on the southern end is proposed to be accommodated by means of a small 16-foot by 4.5-foot deep addition to the structure with a dormer on the roof. Mr. Iserson indicated that office use is permitted in the Downtown azea and is encouraged on the second-floor by the Downtown Specific Plan. Mr. Iserson continued that the application also includes a request for deferred in-lieu pazking agreement for the pazking required by the addition which would not be provided on-site. This is allowed by the Pleasanton Municipal Code and has been approved for several businesses in the Downtown azea. Payment of in-lieu fees would be defen•ed until the City constructs the public pazking lot in the area, at which time the City will collect the fees. He noted that the applicant has prepazed an in-lieu parking agreement for the Commission's consideration and approval; however, staff has brought up several minor issues in this regard. First, the calculations for the floor area needs to be corrected, based on the Municipal Code's definition of gross floor azea, from 2,453 squaze feet to 3,175 squae feet. Second, the applicant is proposing to pay the fees through yeazly installments without interest. It is the City's practice to add interest on installments beyond the due date when payment is made in this fashion. And _ third, the applicant is also proposing to include an "Area of Benefit" which would consist of the central business district and lands located no more than one block from the project site, with the condition that Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 June 24, 1998
