PC-2008-03, PCUP-207, SYLVAN LEARNING CENTER

Resolution No. PC -2008-03 Page Two would be provided at a low-volume voice level, and students would focus on intensive academic tutoring; thus, the proposed learning facility would not be disruptive to the neighboring businesses/tenants. As proposed, there would be one employee with up to six students attending each class/session, and the majority of the classes are conducted during off-peak business hours. For these reasons, the use would not create parking or circulation impacts. Therefore, this finding can be made. 2. The proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity. The use, as conditioned, would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The applicant would be required to receive all Building and Safety Division permits for any future tenant improvements. All storage would be located inside the building, activities would not take place outside of the tenant suite, and all doors must remain closed when classes/sessions are taking place. In addition, learning classes/sessions would require concentration from the students. Thus, the proposed use would not be disruptive to other businesses/tenants in the same building or on the same site. Therefore, this finding can be made. 3. The proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. Chapter 18.124 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code states that because of their unusual characteristics, conditional uses require special consideration so that they may be located properly with respect to their effects on surrounding properties. The PUD zoning of the subject building permits the establishment of "Educational Facilities," and similar uses are subject to Conditional Use Permit approval. The recommended conditions of approval will help to integrate the proposed use without detrimentally affecting the surrounding properties and the City in general. As conditioned, the learning center would comply with all applicable provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. As with any use permit, this use can be suspended or revoked if the conditions are not met. Therefore, this finding can be made. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission determined that the proposed conditional use would be compatible with the existing uses in the area.
