located on the adjoining St. Clare's Episcopal Church (St. Clare's) site through the terms stipulated in a Shared Parking Agreement. The project site is located in a residential zoning district, where religious institutions (also considered under the broader umbrella definition of"community assembly" uses) and childcare/preschool facilities, require review and approval of a Conditional Use Permit ("CUP"). Design review is required for exterior changes to the site including construction of a new outdoor play area, a new terrace area for outdoor activities, and new windows in the north elevation. As such, the CUP and Design Review ("DR") applications are before the Planning Commission for consideration. Subject to the draft Conditions of Approval, staff believes the proposed uses will meet the intent of the zoning district, and will be compatible with the surrounding uses, and the proposed architectural changes are consistent with the DR criteria included in the Pleasanton Municipal Code ("PMC"). BACKGROUND The project site at 3370 Hopyard Road was occupied by Pleasanton Masonic Center from 1980, when the building was constructed, until 2017. The Pleasanton Masonic Center was a private lodge and its operation at the project site was authorized by the City based on the required CUP approval (Case No. UP-77-13). In June 2016, to address issues associated with special events and activities conducted that were outside of those permitted by the 39-year-old CUP, the Masons' applied to modify the CUP. The Planning Commission approved the changes; however; the modified conditions were appealed to the City Council. In September 2016, the City Council further modified the conditions to include more explicit limitations on permitted activities, and to require physical modifications to the building to address noise and other issues. The Conditions of Approval for the Pleasanton Masonic Center include but are not limited to the following: 5. Hours of Operation at the Masonic Lodge shall be the following: Use of the Masonic Lodge Building: 9:00 a.m. — 11:00 p.m. daily No outdoor events are allowed. 8. The Masonic Lodge shall continue to share the event scheduling calendar and coordinate events with St. Clare's Episcopal Church to avoid scheduling conflicts that could affect the shared parking lot. 11.The existing double/French door shall be replaced by a solid door. The solid door shall be installed within 30 days from the date this approval becomes effective and shall be used for emergency exiting only. 12.The doors (exterior) of the building shall remain closed when not being used for ingress/egress purposes. The applicant shall install self-closing mechanisms within 30 days from the date when this approval becomes effective. A sign stating that the doors of the establishment shall remain closed during all hours of operation shall be placed on or next to all doors. 14.The total number of persons at the Masonic Lodge (staff and guests combined) for Non-Masonic Lodge activities shall not exceed 150 persons.
