Noise The PMC states that a proposed conditional use must be in accordance with the objectives of the Zoning Ordinance. One of those objectives is to "promote the stability of existing land uses that conform with the General Plan and to protect them from inharmonious influences and harmful intrusions." To help minimize noise impacts on adjacent tenants, the applicant is proposing to modify Lanes 1, 2, 3, and 7 by adding an additional interior wall with sound -attenuating insulation set in from the existing wall between the two tenant spaces. In addition, all activities would be held indoors. Furthermore, the subject building does not contain any operable windows, which will further reduce noise impacts on the surrounding area. To further minimize any potential noise impacts, staff is recommending the following conditions of approval: The applicant shall keep all exterior doors of the building closed when not being used for ingress/egress purposes; The applicant shall inform all patrons to not loiter outside of the building and to be courteous and quiet when entering or leaving the parking area; and If the operation of this use results in conflicts pertaining to parking; noise, traffic/circulation; or other factors, at the discretion of the Director of Community Development, this conditional use permit may be submitted to the Planning Commission for their subsequent review at a public hearing. If necessary, the Planning Commission may modify or add conditions of approval to mitigate such impacts, or may revoke said conditional use permit. ALTERNATIVES As articulated above, staff believes the use, as proposed and conditioned, is consistent with the objectives of the zoning district. However, alternatives to the proposal that could be considered by the Planning Commission include: 1. Denial of the application. Such an action would preclude the applicant from occupying the subject site and conducting the specified activities; or 2. Approval of the CUP with modifications. The Planning Commission could approve the CUP, but with fewer patrons, with modified hours of operation, or other changes to the proposal. Since staff is able to support the findings to approve the project, as proposed, and believes the project will not adversely impact any existing uses or the surrounding area, staff suggests that neither of the two project alternatives above should be pursued.
