Gilbert A. Konqui Designs and J.L.H. Enterprises 39175 Liberty Street, Suite 214 Fremont, CA 94536 Dublin Associates c/o Coldwell Bankers 6565 Knott Avenue Buena Park, CA 90620 7590 Amador Valley Boulevard C-i, Retail Business District (APN 941-305-028) Portion of 2.6+ acres Commercial/Industrial - Retail/Office The site lies within the recently adopted Dublin Downtown Specific Plan. North: South & East: West: R-S-D-3, Suburban Residence Combining District - Existing Apartment Complex C-I, Retail Business District - Mixed commercial uses of Dublin Place Shopping Center including, as the closest current commericial occupancies: Coco's Restaurant, Baxter's Restaurant, E1 Torrito Restaurant, and Target. C-i, Retail Business District - Dublin Library COPIES TO: Applicant Owner ITEM NO. t ~ File PA 87-094 SITE/ZONING HISTORY: In 1978 approvals were granted through Alameda County for the 35~ acre- 410,000~ square foot Dublin Place Shopping Center. The subject structure, occupying the northernmost portion of the Center, had originally been envisioned for development as a one-story - 25,000± square foot racquetball and health club facility. The request for the racquetball/health club facility was dropped by the Applicants/Developers at the March 15, 1978, Alameda County Zoning Administrator hearing for Conditional Use Permit C-3344. At that hearing the Conditional Use Permit request covering five other proposed conditional uses in the Center was approved. Though the proposed racquetball/ health club facility had been dropped, that portion of the Center carried Site Development Review approval for development for two structures totaling 14,000~ square feet in area, with no specific land use specification beyond "Building - 6,000 s.f." and "Building - 8,000 s.f." on the approved Master Site Plan for the Center. The approval in question (Site Development Review Permit S-646) was granted by the Alameda County Planning Director on April 7, 1978. The subject building site was ultimately developed as a single structure, one-story in height, with a gross building area of 13,750± square feet. The structure was ultimately occupied by the Showbiz Pizza Place Restaurant (approved under Conditional Use Permit DC-2 by Alameda County). That operation ceased some time in 1985, and the building has remained unoccupied since that time. A proposed mixed-use occupancy of the site prompted the submittal of Site Development Review request PA 86-006 in January, 1986. Under that submittal the proposed development was for an 8,000~ square foot restaurant ("serving business lunches and family dinners") and a 5,000± square foot retail paint sales outlet. The remaining 880~ square feet of the structure was proposed for development and use as a common entrance corridor to the two tenant spaces. This proposed entry corridor would have run the entire length of the north-south separation between the two referenced tenant occupancies. Development of this entry corridor would have provided a visual and physical connection to Amador Valley Boulevard. The entry corridor was proposed to be tied into a new architectural store front entry treatment at both the north and south sides of the structure. Additional building modifications proposed included installation of boxed bay windows on the north and south building elevations, which would have served as an architectural mitigation to the long, blank facade of the current structure, and again, would have provided a visual and physical relationship between the structure and to pedestrian and vehicular traffic along Amador Valley Boulevard. Although this application was supported by Staff (a Draft Appealable Action Letter indicating conditional approval of the project was supplied to the Applicants for their review and comment), the proposal was withdrawn prior to a final action being taken. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS: A. ZONING ORDINANCE Section 8-48.2 of the Zoning Ordinance requires that a Conditional Use Permit be obtained for the establishment and operation of a commercial recreational facility in a C-l, Retail Business District. 8-94.0 states that conditional uses must be analyzed to determine: 1) whether or not the use is required by the public need~ 2) whether or not the use will be properly related to other land uses, transportation and service facilities in the vicinity; 3) whether or not the use will materially affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the vicinityl and 4) whether or not the use will be contrary to the specific intent clauses or peformance standards established for the district in which it is located. -2- Section 8-94.4 states the approval-~f a Conditional Use Permit may be valid only for a specified term, and may be made contingent upon the acceptance and observance of specified conditions, including but not limited to the following matters: a) substantial conformity to approved plans and drawings~ b) limitations on time of day for the conduct of specified activities; c) time period within which the approval shall be exercised and the proposed use brought into existence, failing which, the approval shall lapse and be void: d) guarantees as to compliance with the terms of the approval, including the posting of bond; e) compliance with requirements of other departments of the City/County Government. B. DUBLIN DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN The submittal is generally consistent with the recently adopted Dublin Downtow~ Specific Plan. The proposal to remodel and occupy that vacant structure involves the following Specific Plan Goals: General Goals 1) e) Provides an opportunity to update development standards inherited from the County, as applied upon this property. Land Use Goals 4) b) Will serve to broaden the mix of retail uses downtow~ while providing a compatible mixed use project. 4) e) Complies with direction of Plan to encourage more full-service restaurants downtown. Urban Design Goals 5) a) Provides an opportunity to secure additional landscaping in parking lots. Diagram 4 of the Specific Plan (Circulation Improvements - see Attachment #7) indicates that a future traffic signal is to be established at the intersection of Amador Valley Boulevard and Amador Plaza Road. Consistent with the action recently taken for the Rainbow Investment Rezoning application (PA 87-076), the Applicant should be required to contribute towards this future, nearby traffic signal (see Condition #18 of Exhibit B). Diagram 6 of the Specific Plan (Peak Off-Street Parking - see Attachment #8) indicates that the subject property lies in a zone where a 65% peak off-street parking level has been observed. While a surplus of parking appears available in this zone, the Applicant should be required to demonstrate that irrevocable rights within his lease arrangement to utilize sufficient parking to meet the Specific Plan Parking Requirements for the Proposed Tenant Occupancies as established by Table B of the Specific Plan (see Attachment #9 and Condition #3 of Exhibit B). Diagram 8 of the Specific Plan (Land Use Objective - see Attachment ~10) indicates that the subject property lies within the area identified by the Plan as being appropriate to accommodate greater development densities due to a presence of less observed traffic congestion. Redevelopment and intensification of the subject property appears to be consistent with this direction. Diagram 9 and Table C of the Specific Plan (Development Zones Map and Development Standards Table - see Attachments #11 & #12) provide direction for land uses (and floor area ratio and building height standards) for properties within the Specific Plan. The subject property lies within Zone 7: Central Block East - Mixed Use Area. The Specific Plan calls for development of additional specialty retail uses and additional restaurants along its eastern edge to create a "Dublin Restaurant Row". Improvements to entries, internal circulation and parking lot landscaping for properties in this zone are encouraged by the Plan. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The City proposes to adopt a Negative Declaration of Environmental Significance which finds the proposed project will not have a significant effect on the environment. NOTIFICATION: Public Notice of the hearings for this item was published in The Herald, mailed to adjacent property owners, and posted in public buildings. ANALYSIS: The subject proposal was initially scheduled to be heard at the Planning Commission meeting of August 17, 1987. The project's continuance from that initial meeting was prompted by the receipt of comments from the Dublin Police Services Department. The Police Department indicated that special security/ surveillance concerns relate to the proposed nightclub-restaurant facility. The Police Department's recommendation pertaining to this project are summarized in the August 24, 1987, memorandum from the Dublin Police Chief (see Attachment 6). The Applicants subsequently had an opportunity to review these comments and have indicated to Planning Staff that their typical security measures will adequately address the recommendations from the Police Chief. Within a previous section of this report (Zoning History) Staff outlined briefly the building modifications which had been proposed under the 1986 Site Development Review application for Rockwell's Restaurant and Dunne's Paint (PA 86-006). To a great extent the building modifications proposed under that permit would serve to further improve on-site security considerations for the current project, specifically: 1) The provision of an entry corridor between the two proposed tenant lease spaces would improve visibility from Amador Valley Boulevard to the front entrance of the nightclub-restaurant, especially if done in conjunction with the provision of a larger pedestrian entry apron for crowds entering or exiting that facility. 2) The provision of new bay window cutouts along the structure's north and south building elevations will improve visibility from the street and the adjoining parking area into the proposed nightclub-restaurant facility. The Draft Conditions of Approval prepared for this project (see Exhibit B - Condition ~12) outline specific building modifications and site plan changes which Staff recommends should be required to be reflected on the plan submittal for the required Site Development Review application. Along with adding a new entry corridor between the two tenant occupancies and adding new window cutouts, this Condition also calls for the provision of new pedestrian entry areas and the provision of new architectural entrance structures above both sides of the new entry corridor. Collectively the referenced improvements will serve not only to provide mitigation measures to identified security/surveillance concerns, but will also provide architectural and site plan upgrades to the site which will be commensurate with physical improvements required from other building refurbishments to existing commercial structures. The Applicants have not submitted to date any indication of the modifications they are considering to the exterior of the structure. The Applicants were provided a draft copy of the Resolution for the Conditional Use Permit application and have indicated general consensus with the improvements described in Condition #12. Additional improvements to the parking lot area serving the structure should also be secured through the Site Development Review application process. General direction as to the nature and magnitude of the improvements are reflected in the Staff Study and Landscape Plan date October, 1987 (see Attachment #14). -4- RECO~tMENDATION: FORMAT: ACTION: 1) 2) 4) 5) Open public hearing and hear Staff presentation.

Hot Rod Cafe The Hot Rod Cafe is a theme nightclub and restaurant, based on the 50's and 60's era. It is a combination full size restaurant which converts to a nightclub in the later hours of the evening. The entertainment is primarily recorded music. The food is American diner in style and California cusine in preparation. We serve lunch and dinner and offer a 5:00pm happy hour. The decor is a composite of memories from the 50's, 60's and 70's so an item as a '59 cadillac bar, neon palmtrees, paraphernalia from Elvis Presley, Beatles and famous performers abound and are mixed with state of the art lighting and special effects. Our hours of operation are from ll:30am to 2:00am with full service lunch and dinner. We also use valet parking for our patrons in the evening and provide security around the club as well as in the parking area. The existing Hot Rod Cafe's in Fremont and Alameda are operated the same way. As first class service and atmosphere we feel that this restaurant nightclub will be a valuable addition to Dublin dinning and nightlife plan. 39175 Liberty St. · Suite 214 ° Fremont, California 94538 · [415] 797-6960 ??/..,ca-,.a T L( ATTACHMENT ::,, :., CITY OF. pU~kl~ . .......

Enterprises (Applicants) Commercial Recreational Facility - Conditional Use Permit. (Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq.) LOCATION: 7590 Amador Valley Boulevard (APN 941-305-028) PROPONENT: Gilbert A. Konqui Designs and J.L.H. Enterprises 39175 Liberty Street, Suite 214 Fremont, CA 94536 DESCRIPTION: Conditional Use Permit request for a proposed commercial recreational facility (night club - restaurant with dance floor) in an 8,900~ square foot portion of the 13,750~ square foot vacant Showbiz Pizza Place restaurant structure. FINDINGS: The project will not have a significant effect on the environment. INITIAL STUDY: The Initial Study is attached with a brief discussion of the following environmental components: 1. Police/Fire Services 2. Physical Threat 3. On-Site Traffic Circulation MITIGATION MEASURES: Project impacts related to public services (potential increase in need for police, fire and/or paramedic coverage due to intensity and timing of property use) can be mitigated by provision, through project Conditions, of site plan improvements to assure good on-site circulation for emergency vehicle access and by requiring development to meet fire code requirements and other, accepted fire protection measures. Potential impacts to public services and the potential of physical threat to users of the site and proposed adjoining commercial uses can be jointly mitigated by provision, through project Conditions, of adequate on-site lighting and the control of the site plan improvements (including landscape planting) to provide good visibility and accessibility into all portions of the project site. Project impacts associated with potential on-site circulation problems can be mitigated by control, through project Conditions, of the site's ultimate project site plan layout to assure development of a coordinated system, and the development of an integrated parking layout design which observes the City's numerical and dimensional parking requirements. Additional traffic generated by the proposed use will be facilitated by traffic signal improvements partially funded through contributions from the Applicant.
