children would always be supervised by staff and exterior doors are conditioned to be closed, <br /> except when being used. The outdoor play area would be located on the north and west sides <br /> of the building and its use would be limited to two times a day, weather permitting, and <br /> staggered times lasting no longer than 20 minutes at a time. <br /> Parking <br /> With the new ADA stalls, there will be 110 on-site parking spaces that will be shared amongst <br /> the two buildings, which have a total combined square-footage of 28,027. The overall parking <br /> ratio of the site is one parking space for every 254 square feet of floor area. Applying this <br /> parking ratio to the 14,456-square-foot subject building, 56 parking spaces would theoretically <br /> be allocated to the building. <br /> Per section 18.88.030 (E) (Schedule of off-street parking space requirements) of the <br /> Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC), this type of use would require one parking space for each <br /> employee, including teachers and administrators, and one space for every four students in <br /> grade 10 or above. The student parking requirement, one space for every four students, is not <br /> applicable since the children are below grade 10. With 18 staff members, 18 parking spaces <br /> would be required for the proposed use. The PMC-required parking demand for this use would <br /> be satisfied by the 56 parking spaces "allocated" to this facility based on the total tenant <br /> square-footage. <br /> Staff notes that section 18.88.030 (E) of the PMC does not address parking demand during <br /> drop-off/pick-up times, which would be the most impacted time from a parking standpoint. Staff <br /> believes that there would be adequate parking for drop-off/pick-up given that parent/guardian <br /> arrival and departure times are staggered with vehicles parked in the spaces for a short period <br /> of time. The preschool students would have different arrival/departure times (mornings, <br /> afternoons, and evenings) that would be staggered and could use up to 44 parking spaces at <br /> one time. During no point throughout the day does the total number of students and staff <br /> coming or going to the site exceed the number of "allocated" parking spaces for the use. <br /> Even at this peak time, staff believes the 56 "allocated" parking spaces would be enough to <br /> serve the project, and that adequate parking is available. In addition, the adjacent office uses <br /> would be closed after 5:00 p.m., making more parking available. However, should parking <br /> problems occur, staff has included a condition of approval which allows the Director of <br /> Community Development to refer the use permit back to the Planning Commission for possible <br /> mitigation measures (Exhibit A). Possible mitigating conditions could include: reducing the <br /> number of children, modifying the arrival/departure times, etc. <br /> Traffic and Circulation <br /> Located at the southeast corner of Stoneridge and Chabot Drives, the subject site has two <br /> driveways, one on Stoneridge Drive and one on Chabot Drive as well as shared access that <br /> allows circulation through the adjacent hotel property to the south. <br /> The Traffic Engineering Division has reviewed the proposal and determined a traffic study is <br /> not required for Empire Montessori at this time. However, traffic fees will be required because <br /> the site will be converted from office to commercial/retail use.
