PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The proposed project consists of an approximately 15,000 square foot expansion of an existing Target retail store, and the upgrading of its associated parking lot, landscaping, exterior facade and off-site improvements. The store is approximately 105,770 square feet with an attached 4,980 square foot garden center. The garden center will be demolished and approximately 5,000 square feet of the newly expanded enclosed building area will be located in that area. The overall project site area is 414,705 square feet in the Dublin Place Shopping Center, and is within the Downtown Core Specific Plan area of Dublin. Approximately 545 surface parking spaces and 12 disabled parking spaces are proposed on the property. Four hundred and two parking spaces are required for this particular use. BACKGROUND: The project site area is located in the commercial core of Dublin (APN 941-305-29-2) and is zoned C-1 (Retail Commercial). Specifically, it is located in the Dublin Place Shopping Center, west of Amador Plaza Road, south of Amador Valley Boulevard, north of Dublin Boulevard, and north of the new Home Depot Expo store currently under construction. To the northwest of the property is the site of the present Alameda County Dublin Library, which the City is considering for a Senior Center once construction of the new library at the Civic Center is completed. The property has been in use as a shopping center since 1979, prior to city incorporation. Copies To: Applicant/ Property Owner Consultant: SLS Assoc. PA File ItemNo. ~' I Planning Commission Action: On October 23, 2001, the Planning Commission considered the proposed store expansion and associated improvements for recommendation to the City Council. At that time, representatives of the property owner and the Target Corporation (the applicant) expressed concerns with three of the Conditions of Approval for the project. The Planning Commission continued consideration of the project to December 11th to allow time for staff to work with the property owner and the applicant to discuss the remaining issues and modify the conditions accordingly. At the applicant's request, consideration of the project was continued to the Planning Commission hearing on January 8, 2002. Under the City's Zoning Ordinance, a Site Development Review application for an addition to an existing store in the C-1 zoning district could be reviewed and approved by the Community Development Director. However, the Director has referred this project to the Planning Commission for recommendation to the City Council pursuant to Section 8.96.020.C.2 of the Zoning Ordinance because of the importance of the project to the Downtown Core Specific Plan area. The City Council indicated its concern about the design and vitality of development in the downtown area of Dublin and within this shopping center during its discussion of the proposed Downtown Specific Plan. Section8.96.020.C.3 of the Zoning Ordinance, Referral to City Council, states: At any point in the project review process the Planning Commission may transfer original hearing jurisdiction to the City Council at its discretion because of policy implications, unique or unusual circumstances, or the magnitude of the project. Staff requests that the Planning Commission transfer original hearing jurisdiction on this project to the City Council due to Council concerns about the magnitude of this project and its importance to the overall development of the Downtown Core Specific Plan area of the City of Dublin. The resolution regarding the Site Development Review for this project recommends that the City Council approve the Site Development Review (Attachment 3). ANALYSIS: The Planning Commission agenda report from October 23,2001 (Attachment 4) provides a complete analysis of the project and its consistency with the City of Dublin Zoning Ordinance and regulations, General Plan and Specific Plan. That analysis also includes an evaluation of the site planning and architectural design of the proposed project. Please refer to that agenda report for basic information on the overall project plan. This report addresses the issues that were brought up at the Planning Commission hearing on October 23, 2001 and includes the recommended Resolution (Attachment 3) with the amended Conditions of Approval for the project. Revised Site Plan and Landscaping Plan The applicant's consultant, SLS Associates, has revised the proposed site plan and landscaping plan (Attachment 1) to address concerns expressed by the Planning Commission at the meeting of October 23,2001. The new walkway in the northern portion of the site extending to Amador Valley Boulevard has been relocated from the east side of the drive aisle to the west of the driveway and aisle adjacent to the library property. Additionally, this new walkway has been enhanced with landscaping as required by Condition #29 of the Conditions of Approval in Attachment 3. The walkway has been extended with a pedestrian crossing connecting tothe walkway adjacent to the building. The proposed pedestrian/handicapped accessible walkway extending from Amador Plaza Road to the main drive aisle in front of the store has been increased in width to approximately 9 feet on the revised plan, as discussed at the Planning Commission hearing to be more in compliance with the 10-foot wide walkway required by the Downtown Core Specific Plan. The walkway has been enhanced with additional tree wells for trees and landscaping to accentuate the location of the accessway. Condition #28 of the Conditions of Approval 2 has been revised to reflect the walkway changes. The trees shown adjacent to the walkway on the revised plan are 25-gallon in size as recommended by the condition. Staff is also recommending that special paving or other hardscape material be used to accentuate the pedestrian crossings at the entrance on Amador Plaza Road and at the drive aisle connections (Condition #28). The Planning Commission also requested additional landscaping on the east side of the intersection of Amador Valley Boulevard and the driveway entrance to the site. The revised landscaping plan in Attachment 1 does not include additional landscaping at this location. According to the applicant's consultant, landscaping was added next to the new walkway, and because the site of the former Copeland's store may be redeveloped in the future, it was felt that increased landscaping at that comer should be proposed and installed at that future date. If the Planning Commission determines landscaping should be added at this location, an additional condition may be included for recommendation to the City Council. Revised Conditions The applicant and the property owner requested modification of two conditions in the Conditions of Approval contained in Attachment 3 at the Planning Commission hearing. The first condition was Condition #5 regarding holding the City harmless for costs and expenses incurred from claims or litigation related to the project The City Attomey's Office has worked with the property owner's attorney and modified the wording of this condition. The second condition of concern to the applicant and property owner was Condition #31 regarding the provision of access to the adjacent library property and the use of the northwest parking field of the Target parking lot for overflow parking of any civic use. As the actual shared use of the parking area can be addressed in the agreement that the City will be negotiating with the property owner for the provision of the public accessway between the properties, the sentence containing the specific wording related to use of the parking area for overflow parking form the library site has been deleted. Consistency with Downtown Core Specific Plan The project lies within and is consistent with the Downtown Core Specific Plan Land Use Plan, which allows retail uses, and designates this property for Commercial A and Commercial B retail uses in the Specific Plan Land Use Plan. Commercial A land uses are defined in the Specific Plan as larger retail centers, general retail, and service uses and restaurants. Commercial B uses are smaller-scale uses including specialty retail, restaurants, offices, entertainment and similar pedestrian-oriented uses. This designation is shown in the Land Use Plan on a portion of the site that is presently utilized for access to the shopping center from Amador Plaza Road and for parking. It is anticipated that this area of the site will eventually be redeveloped into smaller-scale retail uses in the future. With the revisions to the site plan as shown on Attachment 1, the circulation and access plan for this portion of the shopping center will meet the objectives of the Downtown Core Specific Plan related to improving vehicular and pedestrian access in the central portion of the planning area. The Specific Plan shows a 20-foot drive aisle with 1 O-foot walkways and substantial landscaping through the parking field between the Home Depot Expo property and the property containing the Target Store. A new driveway entrance and exit for the shopping center from Amador Plaza Road north of the vacant General Cinema building connects with this drive aisle. The applicant's plan realigns and widens the existing driveway from Amador Plaza Road south of the El Torito restaurant to align with existing drive aisles in the northeast portion of the Target Store parking area. Included with this realignment is an approximately 9-foot wide pedestrian/handicapped accessible walkway extending from Amador Plaza Road to the main drive aisle in front of the store, and enhanced landscaping at the entryway. A pedestrian walkway to Amador Valley Road from the store is also shown on the applicant's plan. 3 As this is an existing shopping center which is not proposed for complete redevelopment at this time, some flexibility in the application of the guidelines and policies of the Specific Plan are necessary. The applicant has provided a reasonable solution to obtaining better pedestrian and vehicle access within the center and Specific Plan area. The Specific Plan envisions a 20-foot drive aisle with 1 O-foot walkways and substantial landscaping through this area. Staff believes that the addition of the mature trees in the tree wells and the 9-foot walkway as shown on the project plans are necessary to create a visual corridor much like a drive aisle and to provide a more distinctive access route into the shopping center as is intended by the Specific Plan An amendment to the Specific Plan is required for the revision in the Specific Plan's Land Use Plan to relocate the drive aisle from its present location on the plan between the Expo Center and the Target Store properties to the new alignment proposed by this project. Additionally, certain modifications to the text of the design guidelines of the Plan are necessary to reflect the changes in the land use concept relative to the 1 O-foot walkway and substantial landscaping adjacent to the drive aisle. This amendment is proposed in the Resolution in Attachment 3. Attached also to the Resolution are the Staff recommended Conditions of Approval. If it is determined that the applicant's proposal reasonably fulfills the intent of the Specific Plan, Staff recommends that the project be recommended to the City Council subject to the Conditions of Approval. Consistency with General Plan and ZoningOrdinance The project is designated as Retail/Office on the General Plan, and is in the C-1 (Retail Commercial) Zoning District. The continued use of the property for retail use within a shopping center is consistent with the General Plan designation and the Zoning Ordinance. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS: The project has been reviewed under the California Environmental Quality Act, (CEQA), State CEQA Guidelines and the City of Dublin Envkonmental Guidelines. As the net increase in floor area with the expansion of the structure is 9,600 square feet, the project is Categorically Exempt under Section 15301(e)(1), of the State CEQA Guidelines which applies to expansion of Class 1 existing structures by 10,000 square feet or less. If it is determined that the project fulfills the intent of the Specific Plan, the amendment to the Specific Plan would not require any further environmental review than that completed for the Specific Plan and approved on December 19, 2000 with Resolution No. 226-00. CONCLUSION The applicable City Departments and agencies have reviewed this application, and their comments have been incorporated into the Conditions of Approval. The proposed project is consistent with the City's General Plan and the C-1 zoning district. Parking for the project is consistent with Zoning Ordinance requirements. The building is well designed and will be an attractive addition to the Dublin Place Shopping Center. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission: 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Receive Staff presentation; Open Public hearing; Take testimony from the Applicant and the Public; Question Staff, Applicant and the Public; Close the Public hearing and deliberate; and Adopt a Resolution (Attachment 3) recommending the Site Development Review and the amendment to the Downtown Core Specific Plan for this project to the City Council.

Adopt Resolution (Attachment 3) recommending approval to the City Council. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The proposed project consists of an approximately 15,000 square foot expansion of an existing Target retail store, and the upgrading of its associated parking lot, landscaping, exterior facade and off-site improvements. The store is approximately 105,770 square feet with an attached 4,980 square foot garden center. The garden center will be demolished and approximately 5,000 square feet of the newly expanded enclosed building area will be located in that area. The overall project site area is 414,705 square feet in the Dublin Place Shopping Center, and is within the Downtown Core Specific Plan area of Dublin. Approximately 545 surface parking spaces and 12 disabled parking spaces are proposed on the property. Four hundred and two parking spaces are required for this particular use. BACKGROUND: The project site area is located in the commercial core of Dublin (APN 941-305-29-2) and is zoned C-1 (Retail Commercial). Specifically, it is located in the Dublin Place Shopping Center, west of Amador Plaza Road, south of Amador Valley Boulevard, north of Dublin Boulevard, and north of the new Home Depot Expo store currently under construction. To the northwest of the property is the site of the present Alameda County Dublin Library, which the City is considering for a Senior Center once construction of the new library at the Civic Center is completed. The property has been in use as a shopping center since 1979, prior to city incorporation. Under the City's Zoning Ordinance, a Site Development Review application for an addition to an existing store in the C-1 zoning district could be reviewed and approved by the Community Development Director. However, the Director has referred this project to the Planning Commission for recommendation to the City Council Item No. Copies To: Applicant/ Property Owner Consultant: SLS Assoc. PA File ATTACHMENT pursuant to Section 8.96.020.C.2 of the Zoning Ordinance because of the importance of the project to the Downtown Core Specific Plan area. The City Council indicated its concern about the design and vitality of development in the downtown area of Dublin and within this shopping center during its discussion of the proposed Downtown Specific Plan. Section 8.96.020.C.3 of the Zoning Ordinance, Referral to City Council, states, "At any point in the project review process the Planning Commission may transfer original hearing jurisdiction to the City CoUncil at its discretion because of policy implications, unique or unusual circumstances, or the magnitude of the project." Staff requests that the Planning Commission transfer original hearing jurisdiction on this project to the City Council due to Council concerns about the magnitude of this project and its importance to the overall development of the Downtown Core Specific Plan area of the City of Dublin. The resolution regarding the Site Development Review for this project recommends that the City Council approve the Site Development Review. ANALYSIS: Consistency with Downtown Core Specific Plan The project lies within and is consistent with the Downtown Core Specific Plan Land Use Plan, which allows retail uses, and designates this property for Commercial A and Commercial B retail uses in the Specific Plan Land Use Plan. Commercial A land uses are defined in the Specific Plan as larger retail centers, general retail, and service uses and restaurants. Commercial B uses are smaller-scale uses including specialty retail, restaurants, offices, entertainment and similar pedestrian-oriented uses. This designation is shown in the Land Use Plan on a portion of the site that is presently utilized for access to the shopping center from Amador Plaza Road and for parking. It is anticipated that this area of the site will eventually be redeveloped into smaller-scale retail uses in the future. Staff has worked with the applicant and the property owner, Cappozoli Pension Advisory, over the last few months to develop a circulation and access plan for this portion of the shopping center that will meet the objectives of the Downtown Core Specific Plan related to improving vehicular and pedestrian access in the central portion of the planning area. The Specific Plan shows a 20-foot drive aisle with 10-foot walkways and substantial landscaping through the parking field between the Home Depot Expo property and the property containing the Target Store. A new driveway entrance and exit for the shopping center from Amador Plaza Road north of the vacant General Cinema building connects with this drive aisle. The applicant's plan realigns and widens the existing driveway from Amador Plaza Road south of the E1 Torito restaurant to align with existing drive aisles in the northeast portion of the Target Store parking area. Included with this realignment is an approximately 9-foot wide pedestrian/handicapped accessible walkway extending from Amador Plaza Road to the main drive aisle in front of the store, and enhanced landscaping at the entryway. A pedestrian walkway to Amador Valley Road from the store is also shown on the applicant's plan. Staff is recommending that paving or other hardscape material be used to accentuate the pedestrian crossings at the entrance on Amador Plaza Road and at the drive aisle connections. Additionally, the Conditions of Approval state that the trees in the tree wells adjacent to the walkway be at least 25-gallons in size and mature to further define the pedestrian accessway. As this is an existing shopping center which is not proposed for complete redevelopment at this time, some flexibility in the application of the guidelines and policies of the Specific Plan are necessary. The applicant has provided a reasonable solution to obtaining better pedestrian and vehicle access within the center and Specific Plan area, but proposes a narrower walkway and less landscaping along the walkway then that recommended in the design guidelines of the Specific Plan. With a narrower walkway, the applicant will not be required to restripe as many drive aisles as with the wider walkway. The Specific Plan envisions a 20-foot drive aisle with 1 O-foot walkways and substantial landscaping through this area. Staff believes that the addition of the mature trees in the tree wells and the 9-foot walkway as shown on the project plans are necessary to create a visual 2 corridor much like a drive aisle and to provide a more distinctive access route into the shopping center as is intended by the Specific Plan An amendment to the Specific Plan is required for the revision in the Specific Plan's Land Use Plan to relocate the drive aisle from its present location on the plan between the Expo Center and the Target Store properties to the new alignment proposed by this project. Additionally, certain modifications to the text of the design guidelines of the Plan are necessary to reflect the changes in the land use concept relative to the 1 O-foot walkway and substantial landscaping adjacent to the drive aisle. This amendment is proposed in the Resolution in Attachment 3. Attached also to the Resolution are the Staff recommended Conditions of Approval. If it is determined that the applicant's proposal reasonably fulfills the intent of the Specific Plan, Staff recommends that the project be recommended to the City Council subject to the Conditions of Approval. Consistency with General Plan and Zoning Ordinance The project is designated as Retail/Office on the General Plan, and is in the C-1 (Retail Commercial) Zoning District. The continued use of the property for retail use within a shopping center is consistent with the General Plan designation and the Zoning Ordinance. Parking The parcel on which the project is located presently contains 589 parking spaces. Under the City Zoning Ordinance, 402 parking spaces are required for the existing building and the expanded area. The applicant's proposal is to provide 557 parking spaces, decreasing the existing parking by 32 spaces, but still providing sufficient parking under the ordinance requirement of 402. The existing spaces to be lost because of the expanded building area are those adjacent to the front of the building and on the north side of the building in the parking field where automobiles are rarely parked. When the Home Depot EXPO Design Center located on the adjacent parcel was approved, 47 additional parking spaces beyond that required by the Zoning Ordinance for the Expo Center were provided. It is anticipated that the peak parking demand for the Target project and the Expo Center will be weekends during the day. As the parcel on which the Target Store is located and the Expo Center parcel are under the same ownership and sufficient parking is available for each business operation, there should be no significant impact on parking in the shopping center. Circulation/Pedestrian Access The main roadway entrance to the shopping center is from Dublin Boulevard. To improve access from Dublin Boulevard, the Home Depot Expo Design Center was required to improve the main intemal drive aisle into the site that follows along the Expo Design Center and Target Stores' frontages to replace the previous "T" intersection with a smooth "S" curve. As conditions of development for the project, the Expo Design Center was also required to install substantial landscaping in the parking field in front of the center and resurface/restripe the parking lot. The Target Store project will be required to install additional landscaping in their parking field as shown in the Landscaping Plan (Exhibit A), and coordinate all improvements so that convenient and safe access to existing buildings in the shopping center is maintained during construction. A continuous 6-foot wide sidewalk has been provided from the Burlington Coat Factory to the Target Store with the Home Depot Expo project to ensure pedestrian safety. This walkway will be continued in front of the Target Store and wrap around the north side of the building. A pedestrian walkway will also be provided from the store extending to Amador Valley Boulevard along the northern vehicular accessway as shown on the Site Plan. As previously mentioned, a walkway will be provided and the existing driveway from Amador Plaza Road will be widened and realigned to align with existing drive aisles in the parking area for improved access to the site. An additional pedestrian accessway will also be provided leading from the north side of the building to the future Senior Center Site. This accessway between the two sites will be improved with a crosswalk between the two sites in the northwest parking area. Access to Future Senior Center Site Due to the future use of the adjacent Dublin Library site for a Senior Center, the applicant has been requested to provide vehicle access between the two sites to improve circulation for the new center. This is shown on the Site Plan in Exhibit A in the parking area near the accessway to Amador Valley Road. The property owner of the Target Store site is agreeable to providing a driveway between the sites, and will enter into an agreement with the City of Dublin to provide the accessway. Parking in the adjacent parking area may also be used for overflow parking for the Senior Center, and the agreement will allow the City to reconfigure and/or improve parking stalls and landscaped islands in that portion of the parking area at the City's cost as part ora future conversion of the Library. The access right would be granted in the form of an easement with the understanding that no payment from the City for the easement will be required. Landscaping Additional landscaping and irrigation improvements for the parking area are proposed with the project to plant approximately 300 shrubs and 50 new trees at the site as shown on the Landscaping Plan in Exhibit A. The selected species and the location of the landscaping and planters will be consistent with the landscaping improvements proposed for the Home Depot Expo Center property. The Expo Center developer and the Target Store will coordinate installation of the landscaping improvements in the parking field for the shopping center. This would simplify construction, avoid the destruction of newly installed improvements and ensure that the trees would be of the same size and species after the improvements are complete. Landscaping and irrigation will also be installed between the front of the building and the main drive aisle in planters and on trellises prior to use of the expanded portion of the building. As the parking field presently contains only four light standards, additional lighting may be required under the City's Non-Residential Security Requirements. To ensure that the lighting in the parking field is adequate, a Final Lighting Plan is required by the Conditions of Approval for submittal prior to occupancy of the new portion of the building, and is subject to the review and approval of the Dublin Police Department and the Director of Public Works. Design The proposed expansion of the Target store would increase the square footage of the 110,757 square foot building to approximately 120,360 square feet. The existing Garden Center of the store covers approximately 4,980 square feet. The net increase in floor area will be approximately 9,600 square feet with enclosed building area replacing the unenclosed Garden Center. The store will be expanded along the frontage to a depth of approximately 24 feet in various locations, and on the north side of the building to a depth of approximately 29 feet. The front and sides of the building will be renovated with the expansion to be compatible in design to the Home Depot Expo Design Center under construction and scheduled to open in March 2002. The parapet of the building will be 32 feet in height and resemble that of the adjacent Home Depot Expo Design Center. The Expo Design Center is approximately 32 feet in height and the Burlington Coat Factory (formerly Montgomery Wards) is approximately 30 feet in height, so the proposed structure will be similar in height and bulk to the existing structures. The walkway in from of the Expo Design Center will be continued along the frontage of the Target store and be accentuated with a similar style pedestrian-scale arcade and trellis feature. The trellis feature will create visual interest on the front of the building and will be continued on the north side of the structure facing Amador 4 Valley Road and the library site. The accompanying colored Elevations/Renderings (Attachment 2) illustrate the design of the expanded building. The structure would be accented with an arch over the main entrance, accent scoring? tile medallions, and landscaping on the trellises and in planters along the arcade. Planters will screen the shopping carts in front of the building from view. Larry Cannon, the City's architectural consultant, reviewed and suggested modifications in the original design of the structure which the applicant's architect has incorporated in to the final design of the building. The covered arcades, trees, columns, medallions and accent scoring will soften the visual impact of the large commercial building, thereby reducing appearance of bulk. The color of the stucco and accent band along the parapet of the building will be the same of that on the Expo Design Center building. Staff feels that the appearance of the building is attractive and greatly improved by the renovation of the facade as shown in Attachment 2. The features that the architect has incorporated into the design will be effective in reducing the visual bulk of the "Big Box" structure and make it appear more compatible with the new adjacent structure. Additionally, the design of the building incorporates the principle design elements established by the Specific Plan related to creating visual interest and pedestrian-scale and orientation along building frontages. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS: The project has been reviewed under the Califomia Environmental Quality Act, (CEQA), State CEQA Guidelines and the City of Dublin Environmental Guidelines. As the net increase in floor area with the expansion of the structure is 9,600 square feet, the project is Categorically Exempt under Section 15301 (e)(1), of the State CEQA Guidelines which applies to expansion of Class 1 existing structures by 10,000 square feet or less. If it is determined that the project fulfills the intent of the Specific Plan, the amendment to the Specific Plan would not require any further environmental review than that completed for the Specific Plan and approved on December 19, 2000 with Resolution No. 226-00. CONCLUSION The applicable City Departments and agencies have reviewed this application, and their comments have been incorporated into the Conditions of Approval. The proposed project is consistent with the City's General Plan and the C-1 zoning district. Parking for the project is consistent with Zoning Ordinance requirements. The building is well-designed and will be an attractive addition to the Dublin Place Shopping Center. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission: 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Receive Staff presentation; Open Public hearing; Take testimony from the Applicant and the Public; Question Staff, Applicant and the Public; Close the Public hearing and deliberate; and Adopt a Resolution (Attachment 3) recommending the Site Development Review and the amendment to the Downtown Core Specific Plan for this project to the City Council.
