S.A. - Page 8 of 302 to support the main use. While an operator has not yet been selected, the space would allow for a range of potential uses. Based on input received to date, the priority would be for a family -friendly entertainment. However, a number of small format grocery stores have expressed interest in this space, which is a permitted use in this district. As noted in Condition of Approval #7, this alternative would only be allowed if an entertainment operator is not found to be a viable option, as determined by the City. Activity Center — The project is proposing a total of approximately 28,000 sq. ft. of retail on Parcels A, B, and E. The retail spaces front EI Camino Real on Parcels A and B, and activate existing and proposed open spaces on Parcel E. The project is within an activity center established in the EI Camino Real Corridor Plan, which is generally centered at Roosevelt Street. The Corridor Plan identified four activity centers along EI Camino Real, which are near busy intersections where housing, goods, and services are clustered, allowing for walkable areas with the ability to park once and to support surrounding neighborhoods. In these centers, ground floor retail uses and pedestrian spaces are prioritized. The proposal meets these goals with ground floor retail spaces, improved bicycle and pedestrian crossing at Lincoln/Beech at EI Camino Real, a projected bike lane along the EI Camino Real frontage, and a plaza near the new creek walk. Open Space — The project would provide a combination of private and public open space options for residents, child care, office tenants, and the public (Figure 5 — Open Space): • Plaza at the corner of Chestnut and Main streets (12,356 sq. ft.) • Creek walk and plaza at the corner of EI Camino Real and Maple streets (16,316 sq. ft.) • Plaza and dog park expansion at Beech and Main streets (4,500 sq. ft.) • Path connecting Chestnut Street to the Main Street Dog Agility Park (8,474 sq. ft.) • Corner and entry plazas to office and retail uses (7,001 sq. ft.) • Child care yard with play and associated structures (5,823 sq. ft.) • Residential amenity and common open spaces on the podium, rooftop, or decks (38,126 sq. ft.) not including private decks and balconies • Office amenity and common open space specific to each building within courtyards, terraces, and rooftops (58,451 sq. ft.) • Community garden at the southwest corner of Lathrop and Maple streets (5,000 sq. ft.). This property is outside the project scope and the applicant does not have control of the property at this time. As such, this area is not calculated towards the total of open space provided but is included as a condition of approval to provide, as a community benefit, if able to secure rights to the property, or to provide a payment of between $600,000 to $750,000 for construction of these improvements. The City is evaluating potential options for third -party operations and maintenance of this use.
