PA 89-050: On April 9, 1990, the City Council approved a Rezoning for First Western Development to rezone the 7± acre site from C-1, Retail Commercial to PD, Planned Development. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS: The PD, Planned Development, District Rezoning for PA 89-050 First Western Development was to allow a general range of specialty retail shopping and restaurant uses, subject to the provisions of the C-1 (Retail Business) District regulations of the Zoning Ordinance. PA 89-050, PD, Planned Development, General Provisions for First Western Development specified in part that: A public or private Commercial Recreation/Entertainment use or development providing amusement, pleasure or sport operated primarily for financial gain, including but not limited to, arcade video games, dance floors, theaters, are conditional uses subject to Conditional Use Permit approval. All signage shall comply with the regulations established in the Sign Regulations of the Zoning Ordinance. The PD general provisions related to signage may be modified subject to Site Development Review approval. Freestanding sign heights in excess of 20 feet shall be subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Section 8-42.2(B) (1) C-1 (Retail Business) District regulations of the Zoning Ordinance states in part that commercial recreation facilities, located within a building (excluding dance floor and theater) shall be permitted upon approval of a Conditional Use Permit. -3- cr G"_3 or 3c9 Section 8-87.33 of the Dublin Sign Ordinance establishes provisions for regulating wall signs and projecting signs. Section 8-87.60(A) (4) Sign Regulations of the Zoning Ordinance states in part that two (2) freestanding signs may be allowed on parcels of four (4) acres or greater in size when located adjacent to Interstates 580 or 680 or the Alameda County Flood Control Channel adjacent to Interstates 580 or 680.

Section 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 vicinity; and 4) whether or not the use will be contrary to the specific intent clauses or performance standards established for the district in which it is located. Section 8-95.0 states that Site Development Review is a discretionary review process intended to promote: 1) orderly, attractive and harmonious site and structural development compatible with individual site environmental constraints and compatible with surrounding properties and neighborhoods; 2) to resolve major project- related issues including, but not limited to, building location, architectural and landscape design and theme, vehicular and pedestrian access and on-site circulation, parking and traffic impacts; 3) to insure compliance with development standards and general requirements established for Zoning and Planned Development Districts, including, but not limited to, setbacks, heights, parking, fences, accessory structures and signage; 4) to stabilize property values; and 5) to promote the general welfare. Section 8-95.030.5 specifies signage pursuant to Sections 8-87.33(B) (1) Wall Signs and Projecting Signs shall be subject to Site Development Review. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The project has been found to be Categorically Exempt from CEQA under Section 15301, Class 1(e) of the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines. This use consists of the operation of a pizza restaurant and family entertainment center within an existing structure involving negligible expansion of use beyond that previously existing. The proposed project will not have a significant effect on the environment. NOTIFICATION: Public Notice of the January 18, 1994, hearing was published in the local newspaper, mailed to adjacent property owners, and posted in public buildings. ANALYSIS: Co-Applicant's, Annette Smith of Precision Development and Lola Richert of ShowBiz Pizza Time, Inc., filed an application for a Conditional Use Permit and Site Development Review to establish a -4- }/,<E `f pr 38 Chuck E Cheese Pizza Restaurant and Family Entertainment Center within an existing 10,000 square foot tenant space, which was previously occupied by Oshman's Sporting Goods, located at 7448 Amador Valley Boulevard. Three wall-mounted signs, including a new freestanding sign, and the voluntary contribution of Traffic Improvement Funds in the amount of $10,250 are also proposed for this project. Conditional Use Permit The pizza restaurant's family entertainment center requires Conditional Use Permit approval. The project is located within Development Zone 8; Restaurant & Specialty Retail uses of the Downtown Specific Plan. According to the Zone 8 Development Policies, non-fast food restaurants are permitted uses and commercial recreation/ entertainment facilities are conditional uses. The proposed project is located within a PD, Planned Development, District and the General Provisions of the PD regulations (PA 89-050, First Western Development) specified that a commercial recreation/ entertainment use is a conditional use subject to Conditional Use Permit approval. All Chuck E Cheese restaurants are family-oriented establishments and appeal to families with children from the ages of 2 to 11 years of age. A child under the age of 18 is not allowed unless accompanied by an adult. The entertainment use will consist of computer-controlled animated characters on a raised platform stage within the dining room and play areas with coin-operated kiddie rides and video and skill arcade games in and around the remainder of the restaurant's dining areas. The restaurant will provide seating to accommodate up to 252 patrons and will be open seven days per week with peak operating periods on Friday evenings and weekends. The proposed hours of operation for the restaurant will be Sunday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., and Friday and Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. The restaurant will be staffed by two to three managers and a technician plus additional hourly employees. At least one manager or technician will be on duty during all hours of operation. Dublin Police Services has suggested that the management and staff of Chuck E Cheese contact the Crime Prevention Unit to arrange anti-robbery training prior to the opening of the restaurant. A provision has been included in the draft resolution (Exhibit B) requiring Chuck E Cheese management to contact Dublin Police Services to arrange for this training. Site Development Review The exterior of the 10,000 square foot building will be remodeled in a beige stucco finish with red fabric awnings and tiled checker- board patterns in red, blue, green and yellow. Sloping awnings will be installed over the windows and a domed awning will be placed above the entry door. This design follows the corporate image currently used by all non-franchised operations around the country. The -5- restaurant's building materials and colors will provide a nice contrast to the surrounding retail/commercial buildings within the center. The existing entrance to the building originally used by Oshman's is along the north elevation facing Amador Valley Boulevard. The restaurant's front entrance will be relocated to the west building elevation facing the parking lot and Amador Plaza Road. This location will provide the restaurant with better visibility and similar orientation of entrances as the other businesses within the center. Chuck E Cheese will request an address change at the time they submit for building permits. Exterior improvements will include construction of a new, larger trash enclosure, relocated and re-striped parking stalls, the installation of a new landscape planter and minor modifications to existing landscape planters. The landscaped planter areas adjacent to the restaurant's entrance will be modified to accommodate the revised parking layout. To further enhance the existing landscaping within the center, a new landscape planter will be installed at the rear corner of the building along Amador Valley Boulevard. Traffic Improvements and Parking Adequate on-site parking is available to accommodate the proposed restaurant and family entertainment facility, as well as the other businesses within the center. 263 parking spaces are required on Parcel A (Circuit City, TJ Maxx and Chuck E Cheese) and 40 parking spaces are required on Parcel B (Kuppenheimer and Noble House Shoes) . As shown on the site plan, a total of 278 parking spaces are currently provided within Parcel A and 50 parking spaces are provided within Parcel B. As part of this project, Chuck E Cheese will voluntarily contribute Traffic Improvement Funds in the amount of $10,250 (see Attachment 3) . The Public Works Department has determined that this amount adequately covers the necessary roadway improvements for accommodating an increase in project generated traffic on Dublin Boulevard and Village Parkway. This fund will be paid prior to the issuance of building permits. The Public Works Department has requested that a 20-foot wide access driveway be installed along the southeastern portion of the property behind the TJ Maxx store. This driveway will connect the expanded Dublin Honda Dealership parcel and adjacent retail commercial center and will facilitate vehicular movement between the commercial centers and will enhance police surveillance and public safety access to the rear of the buildings. Circuit City has indicated to Staff that they have agreed to share in the cost to construct this driveway with Chuck E Cheese. Circuit City and Chuck E Cheese have indicated that any required permits to construct the driveway will be secured upon the opening of the restaurant and the driveway will be completed within one (1) year. Staff recommends that the access driveway be completed and in use -6- • prior to the opening of the restaurant in order to insure completion of this driveway. A condition has been included in the Draft Resolution (Exhibit B) specifying this. Signage Three wall-mounted signs and a new freestanding sign are proposed as part of this project. The wall-mounted signs will be internally illuminated individual letters and the west building elevation will have an illuminated 4-foot diameter (16 square foot) logo of the Chuck E Cheese Mouse. The freestanding sign will be internally-illuminated and at a height of 35 feet with a proposed sign copy area of 250 square feet or 125 square feet per sign face. The freestanding sign will be located within the landscape planter as shown on Exhibit A. This location will provide visibility to the project from Interstate 680. The existing 24-foot tall, 300 square foot Circuit City and TJ Maxx freestanding sign, which is located near the intersection of Amador Valley Boulevard and Amador Plaza Road, will remain as is. Through Conditional Use Permit approval, the Zoning Ordinance allows two freestanding signs on parcels of four (4) acres or greater in size when located adjacent to the Interstate freeways or the Alameda County Flood Control Channel adjacent to the Interstate freeways. The property meets this requirement. The proposed wall-mounted building signs and logo and the new 35-foot tall freestanding sign are in compliance with the sign regulations of the Zoning Ordinance. The proposed restaurant and family entertainment use is located within Development Zone 8; Restaurant & Specialty Retail of the Downtown Specific Plan. This area is proposed as Dublin's "Restaurant Row" and encourages pedestrian-oriented uses such as specialty retail, restaurants and entertainment uses. The proposed restaurant and family entertainment center is in compliance with all applicable regulations of the Zoning Ordinance and the Downtown Specific Plan. The project has been reviewed by other City departments and affected government agencies and their comments have been incorporated into the Draft Resolutions, Exhibits B and C, as conditions of approval. Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permits and Site Development Review requests including the voluntary contribution of Traffic Improvement Funds in the amount of $10,250, subject to the conditions specified in the Draft Resolutions, Exhibits B, C & D. -7- PACE??OF 321 RECOMMENDATIONS: FORMAT: 1) Open public hearing and hear Staff presentation. 2) Take testimony from Applicant and the public. 3) Question Staff, Applicant and the public. 4) Close public hearing and deliberate. 5) Adopt Draft Resolutions approving PA 93-057 Chuck E Cheese Pizza Restaurant Conditional Use Permit and Site Development Review, or give Staff and Applicant direction and continue the matter. ACTION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the Draft Resolution, Exhibit B, approving the Conditional Use Permit, the Draft Resolution, Exhibit C, approving the Site Development Review and the Draft Resolution, Exhibit D, approving the Freestanding Sign Conditional Use Permit.

Airport Freeway P.O. Box 152077 Irving, TX 75015 214/258-8507 PROPOSED LOCATION ShowBiz Pizza Time, Inc. (ShowBiz) proposes to construct and operate a Chuck E. Cheese's restaurant in an existing 10,000SF building at 7448 Amador Valley Boulevard. A site plan is attached. This site is not a hazardous waste and substance site. TYPE OF OPERATION ShowBiz has been developing and operating Chuck E. Cheese's and ShowBiz Pizza Place restaurants since its incorporation in April of 1980. Currently ShowBiz owns and/or operates 195 restaurants in 29 states, with a franchise system of approximately 125 restaurants. These are pizza restaurants and family entertainment centers serving lunch and dinner seven days per week. Peak operating periods are Friday evenings and weekends. The menu includes pizza, sandwiches, salad bar and soft drinks; beer, wine and wine coolers are offered according to local rules and regulations. In some markets we are also open for breakfast on weekends; this menu includes french toast sticks and a cold breakfast bar. Customers place food orders at an order counter upon entering the restaurant. Salad bar and soft drinks are self service. Hot food is delivered to the table. Beer and wine, if available, are dispensed at the order counter. Take-out orders are not a normal part of our business, although we may have an occasional take-out order; we estimate that this business is less than 2% of total food sales. For family entertainment the restaurant offers computer controlled animated characters which sing songs and tell jokes from a raised platform area in the dining room, a free in-door kiddie play area and as many as 50 coin-operated amusement devices. These coin-operated amusement devices include kiddie rides, video games and skill/arcade games. The skill/arcade games dispense tickets which can be redeemed for small toys and trinkets at a gift shop located in the restaurant. We estimate that 74% of our revenues will be from food and beverage sales, 24% from games and rides and 2% from merchandise sales. These estimates are based on experience in our existing restaurants.

During all hours of operation,at least one manager or technician is on duty; every member of our management staff is 21 years of age or older. Our restaurants tend to operate under typical cycles at each location,with two shifts per day -- lunch and dinner. Lunch shifts Monday through Friday have the lowest volume of business; dinner shifts Sunday through Thursday are next in volume of business; Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday are our peak business hours. Due to these cycles, our manpower needs and scheduling demands vary from shift to shift and day to day. CLIENTELE A Chuck E.Cheese's restaurant is family oriented. Our operation is geared to appeal to families with children from 2 to 11 years of age. Children under 18 are not allowed into the restaurant unless they are accompanied by an adult. A large part of our business is catering children's birthday parties. Our customers typically come from a 10-mile radius around the restaurant; we believe that the radius for this restaurant may be limited to a 5-mile radius. The number of customers visiting our restaurant will fluctuate daily,as described above. The number of customers also fluctuates seasonally. We anticipate that the number of customers visiting our restaurant should vary from about 4000 people per week in the first quarter to 3000 people per week in the fourth quarter. The average size of a non-party customer group is 2.3 children plus 1.8 adults. EQUIPMENT AND SPECIAL FEATURES These restaurants utilize kitchen and cooking equipment, tables, chairs, booths and dispersing equipment in connection with food and beverage service. There is an area devoted to children with kiddie rides and a free play area, a family area with arcade/skill games and a dining room with computer controlled animated characters performing at set intervals from a raised platform area and a small gift shop area in the restaurant. In addition, we have walkaround characters who visit with customers periodically during each day. ATTACHMENT 1{ 6E20E-3 PAr731o ... Chuck E.
