• <br /> DRAFT <br /> He indicated that the suggestion is to limit the school playground hours based on the <br /> delivery truck schedule, but that could change. <br /> Chair O'Connor stated that there are a lot of challenges in limiting the hours, especially <br /> since the children come in between 2:30 p.m. and 3:00 p.m., and would want to have <br /> some access to outdoor play up until 6:00 p.m. <br /> Commissioner Ritter stated that he is 50-50 on this because he wants to support the <br /> business, and looking at what it is set up for, it goes back to the zoning. He indicated <br /> that he is most concerned about the noise. He noted that there are still a lot of homes <br /> along that strip on Junipero Street that understand trucks and cars, but may not <br /> understand screaming kids. He stated that he wants to support the staffs <br /> recommendation just because of the noise, but he is struggling with it. <br /> Commissioner Balch stated that he would have preferred staff to opine further on <br /> lessons learned from the existing facility at the Vintage Hills Shopping Center, given that <br /> we have one at that shopping center and staff is now changing their opinion, which he <br /> believes must be for a reason. He indicated that he would probably be following suit <br /> with Commissioner Ritter. <br /> Commissioner Allen reiterated that the noise is the biggest issue for her because based <br /> on her personal experience, it changed the quality of her life. <br /> Chair O'Connor agreed that in terms of safety, the Commission could put things in place <br /> such as bollards that would provide more peace of mind. He noted, however, that it is <br /> the noise that the Commission is hearing about tonight. He indicated that homes are <br /> very close, and the noise would depend on how many children would be out there and <br /> what they're playing. <br /> Commissioner Piper stated that she understands the objections and also support staff's <br /> recommendation; but on the other end of the spectrum, she also supports the need for <br /> health and activity and appreciate that concept very much. <br /> Commissioner Ritter moved to: (1) make the required Conditional Use Permit <br /> findings for that part of Case P14-0907, the Conditional Use Permit modification <br /> relating to the Heritage School, as listed in the staff report, and to approve that <br /> part of the Conditional Use Permit modification relating to the Heritage School, <br /> subject to the Conditions of Approval listed in Exhibit A of the staff report, with <br /> the addition of a new condition listed in the staff memo dated November 12, 2014, <br /> requiring all facility vehicles to be parked/stored within the existing parking <br /> spaces at the rear of the shopping center; (2) determine that the Conditional Use <br /> Permit findings for that part of Case P14-0907, the Conditional Use Permit <br /> modification relating to the outdoor playground area, cannot be made as <br /> described in the staff report and to deny that part of the Conditional Use Permit <br /> modification relating to the outdoor playground area; and (3) deny <br /> EXCERPT: DRAFT PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, 11-12-2014 Page 9 of 10 <br />
