supervised by staff and exterior doors would be conditioned to be closed, except when being used. Parking There are 73 shared on-site parking spaces for the two buildings in the shopping center, which have a total combined square-footage of 22,641. The overall parking ratio of the site is one parking space for every 310 square feet of floor area. Applying this parking ratio to the applicant's 4,908-square-foot tenant space, 16 parking spaces would be theoretically allocated to the tenant space. However, there are no assigned parking spaces in this shopping center. Per Section 18.88.030 (E) (Schedule of off-street parking space requirements) of the Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC), this type of use would require one parking space for each employee, including teachers and administrators, and one space for every four students in grade 10 or above. The student parking requirement, one space for every four students, is not applicable since all children are below grade 10. With five staff members, five parking spaces would be required for the proposed use per the PMC parking requirement. The applicant's six transportation vans would remain on-site when not being used for school-to-site transportation. Therefore, an additional six parking spaces would be required to accommodate the vans. The eleven PMC-required parking spaces for this use (five staff and six van parking spaces) would be satisfied by the 16 parking spaces "allocated" to this facility based on the total tenant square-footage. Staff notes the PMC parking requirement does not address parking demand during drop- off/pick-up times, which would be the most impacted time from a parking standpoint. Staff conducted several site visits to the property during various morning and afternoon/evening drop-off/pick-up times and found at least 20 vacant parking spaces available for the use. Two building tenant uses would be closed the late afternoon/evening student pickup time and one tenant use would be closed during the kindergarten readiness pickup time. The applicant indicated approximately 25 percent of the students are siblings and the applicant anticipates most of the guardians would utilize the facility's transportation service for picking up students from their schools. Student pick up at the end of the session is staggered and guardians are only parked long enough to collect their child/ren, generally not longer than three minutes. Staff believes there would be adequate parking for drop-off/pick-up given parent/guardian arrival and departure times are staggered with vehicles parked in the spaces for a short period of time. Should parking problems occur, staff has included a condition of approval which allows the Director of Community Development to refer the use permit back to the Planning Commission for possible mitigation measures (Exhibit A). Possible mitigating conditions could include: reducing the number of children, modifying the arrival/departure times, etc. Traffic and Circulation The subject site has two vehicular access points, one on Santa Rita Road and one on Pimlico Drive, through the adjacent properties to the north and east. The Traffic Engineering Division has reviewed the proposal and determined a traffic study and/or fees are not required at this time. Should the use deviate from the operation listed in their narrative (Exhibit B), review by the City's Traffic Engineer would be required to assess whether additional fees and/or a traffic study would be required.
