Applications for General Plan Amendment and Planned Unit Development (PUD) rezoning and development plan approval to construct amixed-use, high-density residential/commercial development located at 6110 Stoneridge Mall Road. The current zoning for the property is PUD-C-O (Planned Uriit Development -Commercial-Office) District. Mr. Otto presented the staff report and summarized the background, scope, and layout of the proposed project. Commissioner O'Connor requested clarification of the totals in the parking summary, indicating a total of 581 stalls, including 222 surface parking spaces, which is shown as a total of 682 spaces. He requested clarification of the parking counts. Mr. Otto noted that 581 was the City's Code requirement; 682 was the number proposed by the applicant. The total of 682 stalls is an addition of 460 provided in the parking garage, plus an additiona1222 surface parking spaces located on the north side of the project. Commissioner Narum pointed out the turn into the driveway and requested that Mr. Otto describe the ingress into the lot as well as how BART riders would be prevented from parking in the residents' parking spaces. Mr. Otto displayed the route and described the unrestricted access area as well as the private area accessed by key card. Commissioner Narum inquired whether parking would be provided for the Pleasanton police and BART police. Mr. Otto replied that a condition was included stating that police staff would work with the applicant regarding its needs for that space. He added that the Police Department indicated that it would like two spaces in the parking lot and that BART police would like a couple of spaces as well. Staff noted that parking spaces in the back would be preferable, but it could be negotiated to have them in the garage as well. Commissioner Pearce noted that Condition No. 15 and Condition No. 16 indicated that 71 of the 222 guest parking spaces would be designated for use by apartment residents. She added that there was language stating that in the event there is not enough retail parking, they could designate some of that parking for the 222 spaces as well. She inquired whether there was a hard number for the required guest parking spaces. Mr. Otto replied that the Code required 50 guest parking spaces, or one guest space per seven spaces, and that this was not designated in the conditions of approval. He added that the Planning and Community Development Director would ultimately decide how many could be allocated if needed. He noted that it could be added as a condition. Commissioner O'Connor noted that if that were to be considered, the City requirement should be taken into account because the applicant has proposed fewer parking spaces per unit and more guest parking than required by the City. Mr. Otto noted that staff included a condition that although it was atransit-oriented development (TOD), the parking study stated that fewer parking spaces would be required.
