Resolution No. PC-2018-11 Page Two illumination, unsightliness, odors, glare and other objectionable influences. The subject zoning district allows, as conditionally permitted uses, religious institutions, nursery schools and private schools. The project, as conditioned, would provide for semi-public uses and an institution serving the needs of residential uses; and would not generate off-site parking demands, noise., or other objectionable influences, consistent with the purposes of the district. In particular, Chabad proposes an annual maximum of up to 15 outdoor activities for which conditions of approval require: 1) relocating the playground area from the north side of the building to the west side of the building, away from residents, 2) allowing amplified outdoor music twice a year before 8 p.m., 3) disallowing use of areas outside of the playground and outdoor terrace for outdoor activities and 4) establishing a time limit of 10 p.m. for all outdoor activities/events. In addition, should future problems rise in association of operation issues, the conditional use permitapproval would be brought back to the Planning Commission for subsequent review to mitigate or to revoke the use permit. B. That 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. As conditioned, staff finds the operations of the Chabad and childcare facility/preschool would not have a detrimental impact on the public health, safety, or welfare, or be materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity. In particular, conditions of approval specify hours of operation, allowable activities within and outside of the building, design measures to include relocation and fencing of the play area, building capacity, conformance to all applicable building and fire codes, and adherence to the shared parking agreement with St. Clare's Church in order to ensure that Chabad would not adversely affect residential properties in the area. If necessary, the Conditional Use Permit could be brought back to the Planning Commission for further modification if the proposed conditions are ineffective in addressing valid concerns raised by neighboring residents. Therefore, staff believes that this finding can be made. C. That the proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of the zoning ordinance. The Pleasanton Municipal Code states that because of the unusual or uncharacteristic. nature of some proposed land uses, conditional uses require special consideration so that they may be located properly with respect to their effects on surrounding properties. The activities and hours of operations proposed by.Chabad as reflected in the conditions of approval in Attachment A would ensure the operation of Chabad to be in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Pleasanton Municipal Code, including those related to noise and parking. Therefore,that the Planning Commission is able to make this finding.
