DESCRIPTION:
Rite Aid is proposing to construct a:t 16,706 square foot drug store and a :t 1,500 square foot
garden center at 7360 San Ramon Road at the northwest corner of San Ramon Road and Amador
Valley Boulevard. The 1.86 acre site was formerly occupied by the True Value Hardware Store and
Sleep Shop Ltd. store.
ANALYSIS
General Plan
General Plan/Land Use
The General Plan designation of this site is "'Retail/Office." This designation allows shopping
centers, stores, restaurants, business and professional offices, motels, service stations, and the sale of
automobile parts. A drug store and garden center are permitted by this designation. The proposed
project has a Floor Area Ratio of .22 that is well within the .50 permitted by this designation ofthe
General Plan.

Specific Plan Amendment
Specific PlanlLand Use
.
The proposed drug store and garden center facility would be located in Area 3 of the San
Ramon Road Specific Plan. That area allows retail commercial shopper goods establishments such as
general merchandise stores, shoe stores and home improvement stores. It also allows eating and
drinking establishments and personal service establishments such as barber shops, photographers,
laundries, and shoe repair. Other uses such as drive-through restaurants, public facilities and uses, and
health facilities are permitted pursuant to a Conditional Use Permit. Prohibited uses in Area 3 include
retail commercial uses/convenience stores such as grocery stores, drug stores and liquor stores. The
proposed drug store use is therefore not consistent with the Specific Plan.
The facility is proposed to be located at the site of the former True Value Hardware store and
Sleep Shop Ltd. store on the northwest comer of the intersection of San Ramon Road and Amador
Valley Road. This location is a valuable retail site at one ofthe busiest intersections in the City.
Calaveras Fault setbacks
Although the Calaveras Fault runs in front of the facility, it has not significantly constrained nearby
retail sites such as Petco and Stroud's Plaza. This is because the fault is located at the eastern end of
the relatively long lots fronting on San Ramon Road leaving sufficient acreage outside of the 50 foot
fault trace setback for businesses to be established.
.
Existing Rite Aid Store
Rite Aid intends to re-lease the site, where an existing Rite Aid store is located at 7201 Regional Street,
when the new store is opened. It was indicated by a representative of Rite Aid that the company is in
negotiations with potential tenants and that the space near Mervyn's should be relatively easy to re-
lease.
Reasons for approval of initiation of the Study:
1. The consolidation of three smaller parcels into a 1.86 acre parcel would provide a site
that is physically appropriate for a drug store and garden center.
2. A retail commercial/convenience store such as a drug store and garden center use would
be appropriate at one of the major intersections in the city. This location with its
significant traffic volumes would be very advantageous to such a use.
3. The use would provide additional retail capacity within Dublin.
Reasons for denial of initiation of the Study:
1.
The project is not consistent with the Specific Plan which intends that the site be
devoted to retail commercial shopper uses.
.
.
.
.
2.
The project could negatively impact a very busy intersection at Amador Valley
Boulevard and San Ramon Road.
RECOMMENDATION
Give staff direction and either approve or deny the applicant's request for a Specific Plan Amendment
study.
