>As we first reported on December 1st, the Dome Theatre in Pleasant Hill will soon be demolished. Now, we’re learning what will possibly be replacing it….Dick’s Sporting Goods.
The following update on our exclusive story is from the City of Pleasant Hill:
Crossroads Shopping Center – (2314-2316 Monument Boulevard) – Study session to review a proposal for the redevelopment of the southern half of the Crossroads at Pleasant Hill Shopping Center.
The project description is as follows:
- Demolish the existing theater building and remodel the former Bally’s Fitness building.
- Construct a 73,176-square-foot, two-story retail building in place of the theater and renovate the existing 21,788-square foot, single-story building, resulting in a total of 94,964 square feet of commercial space.
- Refurbish the existing parking lot and provide 405 parking spaces in Subarea II and also provide an additional six spaces on Subarea I.
- Provide new landscaping throughout the parking lot and shopping center.
- Provide wall, monument and pylon (35 feet tall) signage for Subarea II.
The subject site is located at 2314 and 2316 Monument Boulevard on the southern half of the Crossroads at Pleasant Hill Shopping Center.
The Commission provided preliminary feedback on the project including: concerns with the amount, size and illumination of the project’s wall signage that faces residential areas (eastern direction); potential conflicts of the proposed layout of both intersections (one internal intersection and one at Buskirk Avenue) near the proposed loading dock; plans for the long and deep “alley” that will result in the space between Marshalls and the proposed Dick’s Sporting Goods; tree species selection; and clarification on building color selection.
What’s your opinion, is Dick’s Sporting Goods worthy of replacing the historic Dome Theatre in Pleasant Hill?
