staff, vans, and other users, which staff believes can be accommodated on the lot. <br /> Overall parking demand for the use would be modest because the clients do not drive. <br /> Furthermore, the use permit includes conditions of approval to allow the use permit to <br /> be referred back to the Planning Commission or Community Development Director in <br /> order to add mitigation measures should parking problems occur. <br /> The appellant also expressed concerns about safety on the site due to an ongoing <br /> problem of vehicles using the subject site's parking lot as a short-cut to avoid the traffic <br /> light at the Johnson Drive/Owens Drive intersection. City staff do not believe that <br /> implementation of the proposed project would contribute to or exacerbate cut-through <br /> traffic on the site. <br /> Based on the analysis above, City staff does not anticipate that the project would create <br /> substantial parking or traffic constraints that would affect surrounding properties. <br /> Noise <br /> The appellant has expressed concerns about noise impacts, given that the appellant <br /> and the subject suite share a wall. The appellant has stated that a previous neighboring <br /> tenant, a photography studio, created noise that was a nuisance to tenants. <br /> The proposed project locates the room with the potentially loudest activities—the media <br /> room—in the interior of the suite. Moreover, the project proposes a Building Code <br /> occupancy type of 1-4 (Institutional), as required for this type of use, which will <br /> necessitate upgrading the demising walls (between the tenant suites) to provide one- <br /> hour fire separation. The applicant proposes to install sound-reducing material that <br /> meets or exceeds a sound transmission class (STC) rating of 50 STC to meet this one- <br /> hour rating, which would provide additional noise mitigation beyond a typical demising <br /> wall. City staff recommends documenting this minimum standard by adding it as a <br /> condition of approval (see condition #7 in Exhibit A of Attachment 1). Additionally, <br /> standard conditions of approval applied to the project provide an opportunity to add <br /> mitigation measures if noise becomes an issue during operation. For these reasons, <br /> City staff believes that the project would not result in substantial noise impacts on <br /> surrounding properties. <br /> Additionally, a similar training center for adults with disabilities is located at 1241 Quarry <br /> Lane in Valley Business Park. This facility, the Keystone Learning Center, has a Zoning <br /> Certificate from the City allowing the facility to serve 20 students, and is surrounded <br /> primarily by office tenants, as well as a few other uses including educational centers, <br /> and warehouses. This training center was granted a CUP in 1989 and has not had any <br /> code enforcement complaints due to noise or other issues since that time. <br /> Impact on Resale Value and Insurability <br /> The appellant has asserted that the occupancy of a training facility in this location will <br /> have a negative effect on the appellant's business, including the ability to insure or sell <br /> the property and on the resale value of the suite. City staff is not in a position to <br /> determine the effect of the proposed project on the property's value or insurability, but <br /> Page 5 of 7 <br />
