TO: Chair and Planning Commission August 10, 2021
SUBJECT: Study session to review and provide preliminary comments and direction
regarding the proposed development of a new 3,395 square foot two-story
commercial building located at 212 Front Street.
BACKGROUND/DESCRIPTION
The applicant, Capital Equity Management Group, and architect, FCGA Architecture,
wish to pursue approval to construct a new commercial building at 212 Front Street. The
site includes two 1,856 square foot existing parcels (3,712 total site area) and the building
would be constructed to stratal the shared property line. The proposed building includes
560 square feet of mezzanine area in addition to the two floors of commercial space. There
is an existing 500 square foot building on the site that would be demolished.
The site is located along Front Street, and the back approximately one-third of the parcels
are encumbered by San Ramon Creek and an associated Contra Costa County Flood
Control drainage easement. A portion of the parcel located directly to the right extends
in front of the subject parcels, between the parcels and Front Street. However, the subject
parcels have access rights over this portion of the adjacent parcel.
Because of these site constraints, the applicant is requesting several variances from the
development standards applicable to the site. The Town believes it to be prudent to
discuss these issues with the Planning Commission before proceeding further with this
proposal.
EVALUATION/DISCUSSION
The site is located within the Town’s Downtown Business District (DBD) Area 3: Old
Town Mixed-Use. Both sides of Front Street in this area have this same zoning
designation (Attachment B). The following is an evaluation of the proposed
development’s conformity with the development standards established under this
zoning district:
Setbacks
The front yard setback requirement is an average of 10-feet. The effective average front
yard setback is proposed to be 12-feet two inches, exceeding the minimum requirement.
This measurement is taken from the edge of the Front Street public right-of-way and
Study Session 2 August 10, 2021
212 Front Street
includes the fronting portion of the parcel to the right.
The minimum side yard setback requirement is 5-feet. While the ground floor maintains
5-foot setbacks on each side, the proposed second story extends to within one foot of each
side yard property line. The proposed building exceeds the minimum required 20-foot
rear yard setback.
Floor Area Ratio
DBD Area 3 establishes a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 65 percent. Under the DBD
Ordinance, the FAR is based on the net area available for development, inclusive of all
conditioned space. Because of this, the area of the parcels within the creek area is not
included in the FAR calculation. As a result, the proposed project FAR is 1.33, more than
double the allowable FAR. If the creek area, and area of the adjacent parcel that fronts the
subject parcels, was included in the parcel area as part of the FAR calculation, the FAR
would still be 86 percent.
Height
The maximum height for a building in the downtown area is 35 feet and two and one-
half stories. The proposed building meets the two and one-half story requirement as the
proposed mezzanine is completely tucked within the building’s roofline.
The proposed building has a maximum height of 35 feet on the front elevation. However,
the building steps down to a lower pad elevation in the rear. The Town’s DBD Ordinance
required that the height be based on a measurement from the average pad elevation to
the high point of the building. Based on this measurement, the building would have a
maximum height of about 38.5 feet.
Parking
DBD Area 3 requires that 75 percent of the parking demand associated with the building
be provided on-site. Based on the assumed use of the two stories for offices and storage
use for the mezzanine, the total parking demand would be 13 spaces. In addition, the
proposed development would eliminate two existing on-site parking spaces. The
development does not propose any on-site parking spaces. All off-site parking would be
subject to the payment of the Town’s off-site parking in-lieu fees.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Public notice of the August 10, 2021, study session was mailed to 125 property owners
within 750 feet of the site. Posting of the meeting agenda serves as notice to the general
public.
