Cirelli, Associate Planner EXHIBITS ATTACHED: Attachment 1 : Letter from Thomas B. Wilson dated received March 2, 1992 Attachment 2 : C-N District Regulations Attachment 3 : City Zoning Map RECOMMENDATION: 4��1) Hear Staff presentation. 1•r- 2 ) Take testimony from Applicant. 3) Question Staff and the Applicant. 4 4 ) Deliberate and provide input. 5) Initiate C-N District Zoning Ordinance Amendment Study. FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The cost of processing a Zoning Ordinance Amendment that is initiated by the City Council cannot be charged to the Applicant. The City would incur the cost of the estimated 70-90 Staff hours needed to process the Zoning Ordinance Amendment. This project would impact some of the medium priority goals and objectives adopted by the City Council for 1992 . DESCRIPTION: The Applicant, Thomas Wilson of Duckett-Wilson Management Company, owner of the Lucky Shopping Center at the southeast corner of San Ramon Road and Alcosta Boulevard, is requesting the City Council to initiate an amendment to the Dublin Zoning Ordinance to allow commercial recreation uses, such as karate schools, dance schools, and health/fitness clubs as permitted uses in the C-N, Neighborhood Business District (C-N) . The Lucky Shopping Center is zoned C-N, which does not allow commercial recreation uses . Some of the uses that are permitted in the C-N District include beauty parlors, laundry/dry cleaning establishments, banks, book stores, drugstores and offices (see Attachment 2 ) . The Zoning Ordinance currently allows a commercial recreation facility as a conditional use in the C-1, Retail Business District ( if within a building) , C-2, General Commercial District and M-1, Light Industrial District (if within a building) . Some of the commercial --------- - ------------------------------------------------------ ITEM NO. COPIES TO: Applicant/Owner Senior Planner Project Planner Agenda File Application File CITY CLERK E Q � recreation uses include martial art schools, dance schools, billiard parlors, night clubs/restaurants with live entertainment/dancing, arcades and miniature golf courses, bowling alleys, and ice rinks . Staff recommends considering the Zoning Ordinance Amendment to classify certain low impact types of commercial recreation uses, such as karate schools, dance schools and health/fitness clubs, as conditional uses in the C-N District. These uses are generally compatible with other uses in a neighborhood shopping center and may be appropriate in the C-N District. There may be other types of commercial recreation uses, such as billiard parlors, arcades, or restaurants with live entertainment and dancing that could be considered as conditional uses in a C-N District. Since these other types of commercial recreation uses typically involve higher impacts, they might not be appropriate in a C-N District or there might need to be careful limitations established to avoid the higher impacts . Commercial recreation uses are conditional uses in the C-1, C-2 and M-1 Districts because there are potential concerns associated with these uses . For example, commercial recreation businesses must comply with all building code requirements for occupancy and, as with all businesses, must apply for a City business license. The Police Department may be concerned with business security, potential parking lot activities generated by the business and business management, or a martial arts school potentially selling illegal items . Certain types of commercial recreation uses may also generate noise, litter and trash. The intent of the C-N District is to provide small scale convenience shopping facilities in areas that are predominantly residential . As shown on the map (Attachment 3) , C-N Districts are typically located adjacent to residential areas . Generally, C-N Districts are located in areas more sensitive to the effects of commercial recreation uses than other commercial or industrial districts . Staff recommends that the City Council initiate the C-N District Zoning Ordinance Amendment Study. If the City Council initiates the Study, Staff requests direction on whether 1) only low impact commercial recreation uses should be considered as conditional uses in the C-N District or 2) all commercial recreation uses should be considered. -2- D UCKETT-W I LSO N MANAGEMENT COMPANY 11150 SANTA MONICA BOULEVARD •SUITE 760• LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA 90025-3314• (310)478-8757 February 27, 1992 Larry Tong Planning Director City of Dublin P. O. Box 2340 Dublin, Ca. 94568 Re: Application For Ordinance Amendment to CN Zone Dear Mr. Tong: As the owner of the Lucky Market anchored shopping center on the SEC of Alcosta Boulevard and San Ramon Road, I am writing to express our interest in obtaining an ordinance amendment that would allow recreational uses such as karate schools, dance schools and gyms to exist in CN zoned property. Specifically, we are interested in helping our tenant, Tri Valley Tae Kwon Do, to remain in our shopping center which is zoned CN. On a larger scale, however, we feel it is appropriate for certain recreational uses to exist within a shopping center. As the owner and manager of numerous shopping centers around California, we have found that karate studios, dance studios, workout studios, and gymboree type uses to be very compatible with the other stores in our centers. We find that many parents like to do their shopping in our centers while their children are taking classes at these facilities, and often will shop there before or after their own classes. I am sure that the City Council's review of the nature of the CN zone would confirm our opinions and result in more balanced and effective shopping centers in the City of Dublin. I have enclosed a check in the amount of$100.00,which I have been told is the appropriate fee to begin the zoning amendment procedure. I appreciate your help in this matter, and look forward to working with you further. Sincerely, DUCKETT-WILSON MANAGEMENT COMPANY omas B.
