100 CALIFORNIA DRIVE - PROPOSED HOBBY SHOP
This project involves the conversion of an existing auto
dealership with auto repair to a retail hobby shop which would
sell model automobiles, trains and planes as well as kites and
crafts. In addition, -t -his hobby -shop would include a working._ _
scale model racetrack which would operate daily from 4 P.M. to 9
P.M. It is expected that this racetrack will be one of the main
attractions of the store. The property is located in the Auto
Row area of the City. Adjacent uses consist of a variety of auto
dealership operations. To the rear of the property (east side)
is the Southern Pacific right-of-way which separates the property
from residential uses approximately 3001 away from the site.
The proposed hobby shop use will be completely contained within
the existing building on the property, therefore there should not
be any substantial increase in noise in the area. In addition,
there are no changes proposed to the exterior of the building,
therefore there should not be any significant changes in the
appearance of the property. The retail nature of the business
should be compatable with the other retail auto dealership uses
in the area.
It is expected that the hobby shop customers would fall into two
major age categories, pre -teens and those 28-45 years old. One
major difference between the auto dealership and the proposed
hobby shop would be an increase in the number of younger, pre-
teen customers coming to the area. No significant environmental
effects are expected to result from this change.
In terms of traffic impacts, it is expected that the proposed
hobby shop will be similar to the existing auto dealership use on
the property, except that the hobby shop will involve more
activity in the evening hours and on weekends. The auto
dealership operates Monday - Friday from 7 A.M. to 9 P.M. and
Saturday and Sunday from 9 A.M. to 6 P.M.. The proposed hobby
toothelll autoedealership use, Mthe ohobby Mshopnwill beginaoperatinged
later in the day and will remain open later on weekends.
On a regular weekday the auto dealership has 36 employees on the
property from 7 am to 9 pm and approximately 65-70 customers
between the hours of 8 A.M. to 5 P.M., and an additional 10
customers between 5 P.M. and 9 P.M.. Therefore, this use has
approximately 116 people coming and going from the site. On
weekends the auto dealership has 16 employees on the premises and
approximately 50 customers, for a total activity of approximately
66 people coming and going from the site. The proposed hobby
shop, both weekdays and weekends, is expected to have up to 9
employees on the premises and approximately 60 customers between
9 am to 5 pm and an additional 60 customers between 5 pm and 9
pm. On weekdays, the traffic generated by the two uses should be
very similar ( 116 vehicle trips for the auto dealership versus
129 vehicle trips for the proposed hobby shop). Weekend
activity, however, will be greater for the hobby shop (129
vehicle trips for the hobby shop versus 66 vehicle trips for the
auto dealership). This increase in weekend activity should not

create any significant traffic impacts in the area since the
reduced activity of other businesses in the area reduces the
traffic on California Drive and many of the other streets in the
area. Weekday traffic may actually be reduced by the hobby -shop -
use since the added impacts of test driving of vehicles being
repaired as well as the delivery of cars to the site will be
elliminated. In addition, it is assumed that all the
individuals who use the hobby shop would drive to the site. In
reality, a significant number of the pre -teen customers may take
public transit to the site.
Parking for the hobby shop will be provided in the freestanding
parking structure on the property. -53 parking spaces will be
designated for the hobby shop. The auto dealership has been
using much of the parking structure for car storage. Once these
stored vehicles are removed, there should be plenty of parking
available in the structure. There are approximately 324 parking
spaces in the structure, 28 of which are reserved for the Honda
dealership at the north end of the property. Therefore, there
should be sufficient room on the property itself to accomodate
the parking demands of the proposed hobby shop.
