landscaping plan, project details, Planning Commission review, appeals filed, responses to Items raised in appeals, relationship to prior approvals, comparison with similar facilities, noise, playground location and operation, outdoor events/activities, other conditions, conclusion and recommendation. She noted there was late correspondence received from the appellants, but staff has not had the opportunity to review them in depth. Councilmember Brown requested elaboration on the Planning Commission's vote and location of the proposed solid-wood fencing. Planning Manager Clark reported Commissioner O'Connor was the dissenting vote noting the prior conditions, which applied to the Masons, ought to apply to this project as well and stated the fence would be around the perimeter of the playground. It was noted there are conditions of approval that assign the details of the enclosure to the Community Development Director, including landscaping and fence design. Additionally, there are conditions for improvements to the exterior of the facility prior to the occupancy in connection with the daycare use. Councilmember Narum inquired whether the terrace area needs to be sized to handle 120 people and Planning Manager Clark reported there are occupancy requirements based on size, and staff has concluded the terrace area would not accommodate 120 people, based on its current size. To accommodate 120 people the terrace area would need to be approximately 700 square feet to meet Building Code requirements. Final design of the landscape and the overall site plan will still need to go through the building permit review process. There is enough room to accommodate the additional square footage. Planning Manager Clark addressed State requirements/conditions to for obtaining a State license and commented on the hours of operation and play and allowing flexibility. Mayor Thorne referenced Conditions No. 7, 8, 9 and 31, related to the playground and asked for clarification and Planning Manager Clark explained the basis for each and changes from the original Conditions of Approval. She commented on outside events/activities, hours of operation, and it was noted it is difficult to determine areas in which the appellants agree, at this time, based on condition-by-condition. Mayor Thorne opened the public hearing. Michael Miller, Appellant, noted this is a complex situation with two groups of people that have different needs and thanked Chabad for the time and hard work they put in to find a working solution. He reported as residents, their concern relates to outside noise and commented positively on having Chabad be part of the community. He addressed recommended changes to the proposed CUP including agreeing to move small group meetings to the southeast side of the building, noting the building can provide a sound buffer and installing a sound wall to mitigate noise from the playground and the large pavilion area. Additionally, he noted agreement with things Chabad has asked for, that are fair and right, including approving the full use of the backyard. Although not perfect, it is their best attempted to come to a compromise. He listed points to which they have agreed to let Council decide including Chabad's request to increase the number of people in a large group event from 120 to 200, increase the number of people in a small group area from 24 to a larger number, but suggested waiting to address those in the future. Brief discussion followed regarding the location and specifications of the proposed sound wall, the agreement to allow use of the Chabad backyard, the proposed addition to the existing terrace, allowing amplified sounds in specified areas and limits in terms of the number of outside events allowed (15 religious events and unlimited community events). Darlene Miller, Appellant, noted they have reached a compromise with Chabad, provided a brief background of the matter and detailed areas in which they reached agreements.
