The tenant space would include an administrative office, reception and storage areas, two separate bathrooms, three classrooms, a library area, and computer, music, public speaking, and art lab areas. Afternoon/evening pick-up would be by parents/guardians. For pick-up, parents/guardians would park on-site within the general parking lot. Overall, there would be a maximum of 50 students and five staff. The proposed schedule and layout of the school is shown in the attached Exhibit B. Interior Tenant Improvements With the exception of the computer lab, all areas would be divided with partitions. A second restroom, for the exclusive use of the children, will be installed with no other interior or exterior structural changes to the building being proposed/required. The floor plan layout is included in Exhibit B. ANALYSIS Land Use and General Plan The Land Use Element of the General Plan designates the subject property as "Retail, Highway, Service Commercial, Business and Professional Offices." As a heritage school, Panache Academie will offer a cultural and academic curriculum. Its overall program and operation would be consistent with General Plan land use designation and with the following General Plan Program, Policies, and Goal: • Program 2.2: Encourage the reuse of vacant and underutilized parcels and buildings within existing urban areas. • Policy 7: Encourage and support high quality public and private educational facilities in Pleasanton and facilitate lifelong educational opportunities for all ages. • Policy 13: Ensure that neighborhood, community, and regional commercial centers provide goods and services needed by residents and businesses of Pleasanton and its market area. • Goal 2: Achieve and maintain a complete well-rounded community of desirable neighborhoods, a strong employment base, and a variety of community facilities. The zoning for this site is PUD-C (Planned Unit Development — Commercial) District which conditionally permits uses such as heritage schools. If the CUP is approved, the proposed facility would be consistent with the zoning district. For proposed educational, instructional, recreational, or daycare uses, staff evaluates how the use integrates with surrounding uses. The proposed cultural and academic enrichment programs are similar to those offered at other after-school heritage school facilities that have been approved and operate in similar environments. In the past, the Planning Commission has granted several CUPs for heritage schools and other educational facilities in shopping centers. The subject site would have adequate on-site parking for the proposed use (as discussed in the Parking section) and the activities occurring at the facility are not expected to generate significant noise levels. Based on this analysis, staff believes the proposed facility would be compatible with the surrounding uses. For similar reasons, staff also considers it unlikely that the operation of Panache Academie would adversely impact the surrounding businesses because the children would always be P19-0283, 6700 Santa Rita Rd, Ste.
