Attachment A: Findings
The proposal is for an outdoor brew pub and beer garden with an ABC compliant recreational area. The
activity requires a minor conditional use permit pursuant to Oakland Planning Code Section 17.35.01 for
the brew pub/brew garden portion of the proposal which is classified as a Custom Manufacturing Activity.
The food service portion of the activity is classified as a Limited Service Restaurant and Caf and is
permitted with a Zoning Clearance. The Open-Non-Residential Facility which includes both the brew pub
and beer garden is permitted in the CC-2 zone. The proposal also requires a minor conditional use permit
for a shared access facility, a variance of the maximum setback and design review. This proposal meets
the required findings under Conditional Use Permit Procedure/General Use Permit Criteria (OMC Sec.
17.134.050) of the Oakland Planning Code (Title 17), Section 17.148.50 Variance and Section
17.136.050(B) Design Review.
Required findings are shown in bold type; explanations as to why these findings can be made are
shown in normal type.
1) General Conditional Use Permit Procedure/General Use Permit Criteria (OMC Sec.
17.134.050) For Custom Manufacturing
A. That the location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed development will be
compatible with and will not adversely affect the livability or appropriate development of abutting
properties and the surrounding neighborhood, with consideration to be given to harmony in scale,
bulk, coverage, and density; to the availability of civic facilities and utilities; to harmful effect, if
any, upon desirable neighborhood character; to the generation of traffic and the capacity of
surrounding streets; and to any other relevant impact of the development;
The buildings are organized in a U-shape configuration to surround the outdoor beer garden and eating
area and concentrate the activity on the 40th Street commercial corridor. An additional noise barrier is
proposed in the form of a second story container shell modified to meet the sound baffling
recommendations submitted by the project noise consultant. This approach provides a visual and noise
buffer to the adjacent residential area on the north and east sides of the project. The remaining land within
the parcel is used for a 20-foot-wide driveway at the north and east property lines that gives additional
buffering from the residential area. These buffers improve livability for abutting property by reducing
noise and visual intrusion.
The following additional operating characteristics also improve compatibility with the neighborhood. 1)
The driveway provides access to the existing parking lot serving residential and commercial tenants at
4021-4031 Broadway, ensuring that this parking is retained. 2) Trash and recycling will be consolidated
with the existing businesses at 4023 Broadway to eliminate existing open refuse containers in the adjacent
parking lot. 3) Although the proposed use does not generate a parking requirement, three parking spaces
are provided on the brew pub site, Given the location near Broadway, public transit options, and
availability of bike parking, it is unlikely to generate significant traffic. 4) Hours of operation are limited to
Sunday Thursday 10 AM to 10 PM and Friday and Saturday 10 AM to 11 PM. 5) The Conditions of
Approval include measures to address noise, security, trash, rodent control, lighting landscaping,
colors/graphic design as well as overall compliance
An additional review period is required after six months to evaluate whether project conditions were
implemented and whether the operation of the business is appropriate within the neighborhood. As
conditioned the driveway buffer, noise baffle, building configuration and hours of operation result in a
3

design and operating characteristics that will be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and will
not affect the livability or appropriate development of abutting properties.
B. That the location, design, and site planning of the proposed development will provide a
convenient and functional living, working, shopping, or civic environment, and will be as attractive
as the nature of the use and its location and setting warrant;
The beer pub and beer garden create a local venue that will be convenient and functional for patrons living
and working in the corridor due to the following features: 1) The location is walkable and accessible to
both business and residential areas. 2) The location is served by AC Transit with a bus stop on the 40th
right of way adjacent to the site. The area is within .7 mile of BART MacArthur Station. 3) Bicycle
parking and limited patron parking is provided on-site. 4) The site plan is compact and will provide
amenities such as a landscaped urban plaza with a gas fire pit, and seating under a lighted canopy. 5) The
Conditions of Approval include measures to address noise, security, trash, rodent control, lighting
landscaping, colors/graphic design as well as overall compliance. The location and setting of the site are
typical for urban infill along a mixed-use corridor.
C. That the proposed development will enhance the successful operation of the surrounding area in
its basic community functions, or will provide an essential service to the community or region;
The proposed brew pub and outdoor beer garden will provide a new business adding to the vitality of the
mix of businesses along Broadway and 40th Street. It will encourage local spending and provide additional
food and beverage service to the area. As conditioned, it results in additional economic activity that will
be compatible with commercial and residential activities located within this urban, mixed-use arterial
corridor.
D. That the proposal conforms to all applicable regular design review criteria set forth in the regular
design review procedure at Section 17.136.050. The new development complies with the applicable
design review findings. See the findings for Regular Design Review below for the analysis of how this
proposal specifically conforms to these criteria. The projects consistency with the Commercial Corridor
Guidelines is also discussed below.
E. That the proposal conforms in all significant respects with the Oakland General Plan and with
any other applicable guidelines or criteria, district plan or development control map which has been
adopted by the Planning Commission or City Council.
The property is in the Community Commercial designation of the Oakland General Plans Land Use and
Transportation Element (LUTE). The intent of the designation is: to identify, create, maintain, and
enhance areas suitable for a wide variety of commercial and institutional operations along the Citys
major corridors and in shopping districts or centers. The policy framework implementing this intent is
stated in both Neighborhood and Industry Commerce Objectives.
Policy Framework Goal: Encourage thriving, diverse, and attractive shopping districts in Oaklands
neighborhoods that provide a variety of goods, services, and entertainment, and which are oriented to
and well served by public transit, pedestrian, and bicycle facilities.
Objective N1: Provide for healthy, vital and accessible commercial areas that help meet local
consumer needs in the neighborhoods.
4
Case file no. PLN17004; 320 40th Street
Objective I/C-1: Expand and retain Oaklands job base and economic strength.
Policy I/C1.1 Attracting New Business states:The City will strive to attract new businesses to Oakland
which have potential economic benefits in terms of jobs and/or revenue generation.
The proposal meets the intent of the LUTE and the policy framework by adding a new business to the
existing concentration of commercial activities along 40rd Street and Broadway. The activity is within the
range of uses already allowed in this area and will serve both a neighborhood and district wide customer
base. It is in an economically viable commercial area on a surface parking lot, and provides a smaller
scale local oriented business. As a new business, it will add new employment opportunities and generate
new revenue.
2) General Conditional Use Permit Procedure/General Use Permit Criteria (OMC Sec.
17.134.050) For Shared Access Facility
A. That the location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed development will be
compatible with and will not adversely affect the livability or appropriate development of abutting
properties and the surrounding neighborhood, with consideration to be given to harmony in scale,
bulk, coverage, and density; to the availability of civic facilities and utilities; to harmful effect, if
any, upon desirable neighborhood character; to the generation of traffic and the capacity of
surrounding streets; and to any other relevant impact of the development;
The shared access facility provides necessary access to the parking lot at 4021-4031 for the use of tenants
on that site. It improves the livability of the development by providing additional parking, securing access
to parking that already exists, creating a location for shared garbage and recycling management and acting
as a buffer between the proposed commercial activity and surrounding residential uses.
B. That the location, design, and site planning of the proposed development will provide a
convenient and functional living, working, shopping, or civic environment, and will be as attractive
as the nature of the use and its location and setting warrant;
The proposed driveway provides safe and functional access that meets city standards. It is 12 wide, and is
designed to be a buffer between commercial and residential uses. It provides an adequate turning radius to
allow vehicular movement around the back side of the proposed commercial development. It terminates at
the adjacent parking lot where parking or turnaround can occur. Landscaping will be provided at the entry.
C. That the proposed development will enhance the successful operation of the surrounding area in
its basic community functions, or will provide an essential service to the community or region;
The proposed shared access easement facilitates an improved layout and project design for the Golden
Road Brew Pub and Beer Garden by providing buffering, improved trash and recycling function and
allows retention of 3 parking places on site. It enhances the successful operation of businesses and
residential uses on 4021-4031 Broadway by providing dedicated access to the existing parking area serving
those uses, and facilitation improved trash management.
D. That the proposal conforms to all applicable regular design review criteria set forth in the regular
design review procedure at Section 17.136.050
The shared access facility design complies with the applicable design review findings by contributing to an
overall improved project design. See the findings for Regular Design Review below for the analysis of
how this proposal specifically conforms to these criteria. The projects consistency with the Commercial
5
Case file no. PLN17004; 320 40th Street
E. That the proposal conforms in all significant respects with the Oakland General Plan and with
any other applicable guidelines or criteria, district plan or development control map which has been
adopted by the Planning Commission or City Council.
The shared access easement allows infill development to occur and at the same time retains legal access to
the adjacent off-site parking lot. This action is consistent with General Plan policy supporting infill
development, particularly along commercial corridors because it facilitates the project. See findings above
for additional LUTE objectives and policies that the project conforms with.
The proposed facility serves existing platted lots with developed parking in a context where existing
commercial and residential properties and activities already have street access from Broadway. The
proposed access easement provides secondary access to the properties it serves and will be used for
accessory parking and trash collection. It complies with Engineering Standard S-2 for driveway width and
with the Planning Commission guidelines for width (12 feet), and for point of entry site distance.
2. Public Safety. The width of a shared access facility shall be adequate to ensure unimpeded
emergency and nonemergency ingress and egress at all times. Additionally, the shared access facility
shall conform to City standards for roadway layout and design.
The facility is 12 feet wide and meets the adopted minimum standard for a commercial driveway
(Engineering Design Services Detail S-2) and as conditioned will met minimum standards for layout and
design. Given the flat lot and open nature of the project, emergency and non-emergency ingress and egress
is provided.
3. Aesthetics. A shared access facility shall be designed to provide the environmentally superior
alternative to other approaches for the development of the property and shall be designed to be
visually compatible with its surroundings, as set forth in the City Planning Commission guidelines;
necessary retaining walls shall not be of excessive height and shall not be visibly obtrusive, as such
are defined in the City Planning Commission guidelines.
The access easement is proposed within an existing asphalt parking lot and will create no additional
impervious surface. It will be screened by a 5 6 solid wood fence on the north a 6-foot fence on the
west, and the back of the proposed brew pub structures on the east side. The entry and transition to the
public street (40th) is 12 feet wide and will be bordered by a 23 X 3 long landscape strip with a 5 wide
bulb at the street.
7
Case file no. PLN17004; 320 40th Street
The configuration of the building elements (containers), as conditioned, function as a buffer to the
surrounding residential resulting in a reduction of potential noise and visual impacts. The facility is
pulled back from the property lines using the 12 wide internal driveway for separation. This degree
of separation will reduce the apparent scale of the facility where it abuts residential. A partial second
story of noise baffling containers provides additional height on the north and east elevations and will
channel sound into the interior. This extra height also provides a visual buffer where the project abuts
residential uses. In addition, the condition restricting the bold graphic zigzag detail to the interior
elevations reduces the visual impact of the project on neighboring property. These measures, taken
together, will improve the projects fit in the neighborhood and as a result protect the property value
of neighboring property. Adding an active street level use to the neighborhood and replacing a
surface parking lot adds additional property value and encourages other investment in the
neighborhood.
3. That the proposed design conforms in all significant respects with the Oakland General Plan
and with any applicable design review guidelines or criteria, district plan, or development
control map which have been adopted by the Planning Commission or City Council.
As discussed above, the project is incompliance with the objectives and policies in the LUTE. As
conditioned, the project meets the intent of Commercial Corridor Design Guidelines by providing
infill commercial development that creates an active street front and pedestrian oriented business
using an outdoor courtyard design. The guidelines note that the document is based on eight guiding
principles and that the guidelines in the document fulfills the principles. Below are the principles that
the project conforms with.
Build upon patterns of urban development that lend a special sense of place.
Provide elements that define the street and a place for pedestrians.
Allow for street fronts with diversity of architectural expression
Encourage high-quality design and construction
Design Buildings that reinforce the urban character of different corridor and place types.
1. Infill development at this location will strengthen the sense of place along 40th Street by providing an
active use along the street, and enhancing the existing pattern of storefront retail.
The project will enhance the existing neighborhood by continuing the well-defined and vibrant urban
design and continuous storefronts along Broadway and at the corner of 40th Street around the corner.
The surface parking lot, currently disrupts this character, the new development will fill this gap with
an urban courtyard that draws the pedestrian to the interior of the property. Furthermore, the Temescal
District is known for unique urban developments with good design such as Temescal Alley, Temescal
Brewery, Off the Grid, Kaspers pop-up plaza and the MacArthur Annex a little further out in
Longfellow that help contribute to the overall sense place in the area.
2. The project provides 5 elements that contribute to a pedestrian oriented streetscape.
i. The bar and seating area located along the 40th St entry create a sidewalk caf character that
brings activity to the street.
ii. The landscape area between the sidewalk and front entry softens the entry and adds visual
interest.
8
Case file no. PLN17004; 320 40th Street
iii. The U-shaped configuration of the container buildings defining an interior courtyard that
opens on to the street and invites the pedestrian in to the interior.
iv. The lighting canopy highlights the courtyard and adds visual interest at the pedestrian scale.
v. The tables, eating drinking areas, fire-pit and interior landscaping create an attractive public
living room character at the street level adding to visual interest on the street for people
passing by.
3. The container buildings as seen from the street will be brightly painted with a distinctive graphic that
functions as an architectural detail and adds interest and variety to the street front. The design of this
facility is an alternative approach to designing store front retail and as such is the embodiment of
diverse architectural expression that is prevalent throughout the Temescal District.
4. The container buildings and resulting interior courtyard environment will add visual interest and
distinction within the community and provide a pleasing composition of forms. The brewing
equipment will be visible during open hours adding visual interest.
5. The project will create a compact urban courtyard with street caf style seating along an active
corridor. This treatment will extend the urban character already present on Broadway to the
intersecting 40th St at the street corner by adding new buildings and commercial activity along 40th
Street heading west.
1. That strict compliance with the specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or
unnecessary hardship inconsistent with the purposes of the zoning regulations, due to unique
physical or topographic circumstances or conditions of design; or, as an alternative in the case of
a minor variance, that such strict compliance would preclude an effective design solution
improving livability, operational efficiency, or appearance.
This zone includes a maximum and no minimum front yard setback. The applicant is proposing a 23
setback where the maximum is 20. The intent of the maximum setback was to encourage buildings
built directly on the property line with a pedestrian oriented development and direct connection to the
street. Recessing a building back from the street would not meet this intent. However, the proposed
project does not include the construction of a building but an open facility. From the moment you
enter the site you are effectively within the pub/ beer garden.
The project does include several buildings which enclose certain functions of the facility. Moving
the kitchen container forward an additional 3 feet would leave less room for the active seating in the
front entry. This entry is designed to function as an outdoor caf environment with a gas fire pit and
bar seating separated from the sidewalk by a 5-foot landscape strip and 48 high fence. Reducing this
area by 3 feet on one side would preclude a more effective design with less landscaping at the entry,
reduction in the amount of seating available for active use of the area, and potentially the elimination
of or reduction in the size of the gas fire pit.
2. That strict compliance with the regulations would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by
owners of similarly zoned property; or, as an alternative in the case of a minor variance, that
such strict compliance would preclude an effective design solution fulfilling the basic intent of
the applicable regulation.
9
Case file no. PLN17004; 320 40th Street
The purpose of the maximum 20-foot setback is to support active streets and continuous store fronts in
commercial areas. In this project, the intent of the standard is achieved with an alternate design that
focuses interest and activity within the first 20 feet of the site but does it with an outdoor facility rather
than with a building. The site will be viewed from the street into the interior and focus on the seating
area and fire pit located adjacent to the entry. This area is designed to create interaction between the
street sidewalk area and the business activity. Moving the kitchen container forward so that its end is
20 feet from the front property line would leave less room for the fire pit and seating and would place
a hardscape wall closer to the street. In this case keeping the end of the container a little farther back
so that more seating and activity is closer to the street results in an equal or better solution and an
effective design.
3. That the variance, if granted, will not adversely affect the character, livability, or appropriate
development of abutting properties or the surrounding area, and will not be detrimental to the
public welfare or contrary to adopted plans or development policy.
The additional 3-foot setback for the kitchen container has no impact on the development potential of
abutting properties because it only involves the property line at the front setback and public street. It
does not change either the character or livability of abutting property because, as designed, the
proposal provides an alternate way to activate the street and support a vibrant pedestrian environment
that is equal to or better than the result with the standard maximum setback.
4. That the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with limitations
imposed on similarly zoned properties or inconsistent with the purposes of the zoning
regulations.
Allowing a 23 front setback is not a grant of special privilege because the resultant design achieves
the intent of the standard. In this case, the intent is achieved with an alternate design that focuses
interest and activity within the first 20 feet of the site using an outdoor facility rather than with a
building. Allowing an additional 3 feet of depth in the outdoor facility provides enough area for safe
circulation around a proposed fire pit and a more functional front seating area and front to the
commercial use.
5. That the elements of the proposal requiring the variance (e.g., elements such as buildings, walls,
fences, driveways, garages and carports, etc.) conform with the regular design review criteria set
forth in the design review procedure at Section 17.136.050.
The 23-foot-deep front entry area meets the design review criteria by improving the functionality and
overall quality of the courtyard entry. See the Findings for Design Review above for a detailed
analysis of this finding.
