SUMMARY
Merlone Geier Partners is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), Site Plan Review (SPR) and various Warrants and Exceptions to develop two (2) new drive-through restaurant pad buildings for Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers and In-N-Out Burger along the northern boundary of the project site, as well as a significant remodel of the exterior and interior of the existing 94,500-square-foot commercial building (formerly K-mart) to be demised into three (3) major commercial tenants and six (6) smaller commercial tenants. One of the three major commercial tenants has been identified as Sprouts Farmers Market grocery store. In addition, the project will also include related site improvements, including, but not limited to, upgrades to the site vehicular and pedestrian circulation, improved parking configuration, tree planting and site landscaping, stormwater management infrastructure, and new outdoor dining areas.
The project site is located within the Urban General (S-T4) and Urban Center (S-T5) Zones of the South Hayward BART Form Based Code area with a Sustainable Mixed Use (SMU) land use designation in the Hayward 2040 General Plan. This project application was deemed complete prior to the adoption of the recent Mission Boulevard Code (form-based code update), effective August 14, 2020, and thus is subject to the former development standards.
