PROJECT DESCRIPTION Parking x sq ft will be exceeded. Program Description SVS has submitted a CUP application to operate a training center for adults with developmental disabilities in a 5,199-square-foot tenant space (Suite 100) within an existing building located at 6602 Owens Drive. Suite 100 is one of the middle suites in the building. The applicant proposes to implement tenant improvements resulting in 5,136 square feet of usable office space. SVS's program offerings are both facility- and community-based. On-site activities would include art, music, and physical fitness, and skill-building support in areas such as communication, computers, interviewing, and personal appearance. Off-site activities would include employment contracts and field trips, such as visits to the library, parks, and recreation sites. Exhibit B, provided by the applicant, describes SVS's services. SVS would provide transportation to its clients via eight passenger vans, which would transport clients to and from home, field trips, and work sites. Enrollment Capacity and Staff The program would operate from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, on a year-round basis. Clients would be on-site for five hours of programming, from 9:00 a.m. 60 to 2:00 p.m. The facility would employ 20 direct service professionals and three ~administrative staff and seek a license to serve 60 clients. However, the maximum number of people in the facility at any one time is not proposed to exceed 43, which includes up to 30 clients, ten professional staff, and three administrative staff. SVS activities are typically conducted in small groups of three clients and one staff member (consistent with State licensing requirements), with one or two groups occupying an activity room. Larger activities with as many as 20 people may be held for special events, such as holiday celebrations or a visiting instructor. Any future proposal to increase daily capacity beyond 30 clients would require an amended CUP. Transportation and Parking The subject site currently contains 95 parking spaces (3 ADA accessible and 92 standard spaces), shared across all four tenant spaces. Parking spaces are not assigned to tenants. The SVS proposal converts two standard parking spaces to two ADA parking spaces. SVS would use eight vans to serve the program, which would be stored on-site in standard parking spaces in the rear (south side) of the building. Vans would pick-up and drop-off clients in the rear (south side) of the building in a new designated loading space, as shown on the plans in Exhibit B. This loading space replaces one standard parking space. Clients would cross the parking aisle via a new crosswalk to access the loading area and the building. Clients do not drive and therefore would not require parking. Up to eight vans would depart the subject site at 7:30 a.m. each weekday to pick up clients from their homes. Approximately four vans would return to the subject site at 9:00 a.m., while the other four vans would travel to work or field trip sites in the community. At 2:00 p.m., the approximately four vans on site would leave to take clients back home. At approximately 3:30 p.m., up to eight vans would return to the subject site.
