Parking Per the Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC), technical service office uses (e.g., insurance offices) require 1 parking space per 300 square feet of gross floor area, resulting in a parking requirement of 79 spaces for the entire 23,550-square-foot building. This parking requirement is currently satisfied with the 95 spaces provided. The proposed training center would replace one parking space with a loading area for SVS' vans, resulting in a total parking supply of 94 parking spaces. If Suite 100 were proposed to be occupied by a similar office use, the parking requirement for the 5,199-square foot suite would be 17 spaces. However, based on information provided by the applicant, a maximum of 13 employees and eight vans Wrong would be parked on site during business hours, suggesting parking demand for 21 spaces. Additionally, visitors, prospective clients, and client caretakers may also require parking, so the parking demand could reach approximately 25 spaces at peak times. The three other tenant spaces in the building total approximately 18,640 square feet, suggesting a requirement of 62 spaces. Therefore, the remaining 32 spaces currently on the site is more than enough to accommodate peak demand from SVS. Wrong Based on this parking analysis, staff believes that the parking should be sufficient to accommodate the proposed use. However, should parking problems occur, staff has included conditions of approval which allow the Director of Community Development to refer the use permit back to the Planning Commission for possible mitigation measures (Exhibit A, No.'s 3 and 9). Noise Staff anticipates that the proposed training center would generate interior noise levels comparable to that of an office or retail use. Given the low traffic volumes expected from the proposal, vehicular noise is not anticipated to be a substantial noise source. Therefore, the greatest noise source will likely be from on-site activities. As proposed, the activities would be held indoors during business hours and would include clients playing acoustic (non-amplified) music, watching movies, singing karaoke (played through the TV), and listening to the radio in the media room. The media room is located within an interior room in the tenant space and does not share common walls with the adjacent suite, and therefore is not anticipated to generate a substantial amount of noise or represent a harmful intrusion or inharmonious influence. Similarly, adjacent uses within the building would not be expected to generate noise that would Wrong adversely affect operation of the vocational training center. Recommended conditions of approval require that the exterior doors remain closed when not being used for ingress/egress purposes and due to the nature of the training center, clients would not be permitted to loiter or make loud noises outside the building before or after sessions. Staff has also included a standard use permit condition of approval on the project that allows the City to review the project again to add mitigating conditions should any future complaints regarding noise levels occur. Such conditions could include modifying the hours of operation, installing soundproofing panels in the ceiling and walls of the tenant space, reducing the number of clients, etc. P15-0008, 6602 Owens Drive, Suite 100- Training Center Planning Commission Page 6 of 9
