Ms. Stern added that the application would need to be consistent with all the conditions. She indicated that she is not certain if Longshore Tutoring Center had age limitations either. Ms. Amos noted that Longshore Tutoring Centerwere different and it had a greater number of students that would be there. She continued that the ages of the children were different as well; the students were not as young, and some actually went to high school. She indicated that there was also a bit of difference in terms of their business practices. Chair Narum inquired if Longshore Tutoring Center had more than the 15 students maximum. Ms. Amos replied that there is no maximum number of students for this specific PUD. She explained that the maximum number of students for straight-zoning designation sites without a Conditional Use Permit is 20. She added that it is different for PUDs, where a Conditional Use Permit is required no matter the number of students. Chair Narum inquired if she remembers how many students Longshore Tutoring Center was permitted to have. Ms. Amos replied that she believes it is 40. Ms. Stern added that staff felt there might be some additional conditions the Commission may want to apply for this younger age group. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Bryan Bowers stated that he is the building owner with his family, and his wife, Summer, is the applicant. He indicated that they wanted to open up the learning center for the summer to fill the need at the time for the Pleasanton area, since most of the summer school programs have incurred budget cuts. He stated that they looked at the zoning and saw that it was a Conditional Use. He noted that they attempted to get an approval from the VBP Owners Association, and when he talked to the Board, the members expressed concern over the safety of the children. Mr. Bowers stated that other child-based businesses within VBP are normally located in a pure industrial area next to a truck door or roll-up door. He added that while the entire VBP is zoned Light Industrial, there are two pure office buildings in VBP, one of which is theirs. He said they own 1020 Serpentine Lane, and 1024 Serpentine Lane next door is an office building with no truck doors, no forklifts driving around. He added that the two buildings share a common driveway and parking lot, and they do not see any danger there for children like there may be in other spaces in the Park where there are roll-up doors, truck doors, and forklifts driving in and out.
