2. The parking demand for the mix of uses within the shopping center, as allowed
for under the subject site's Downtown Business District 4; Residential Serving
Con:unercial zoning designation, shall not exceed the on and off-site parking
supply (260 spaces). Should the ten off-site employee parking spaces ever be

uses choose to vacate the center) to meet the new parking supply (250 spaces).

shall be subject to review and approval by the Planning Division prior to
issuance of building permits.
4. Prior to initiation of the parking lot modifications, the applicant shall submit to
the Town a phasing plan. The goal of the phasing plan shall be to minimize
temporary parking impacts in the shopping center.
5. The applicant shall install a minimum five foot wide sidewalk along the frontage
of the rectangular parcel on the east side of Railroad Avenue (APN: 199-330-055).
6. The applicant shall work with the Town of Danville Traffic Department and
Engineering Division to determine the possibility of allowing right-turn exiting
movements from the northernmost driveway onto Railroad Avenue. If
determined acceptable by the Town, the parking lot modifications shall include
this provision.
