PROPOSED PROJECT The applicant proposes to occupy the entire 25,600-square-foot third floor of 5860 Owens Drive. The floor would be divided into two parts, with the right side (13,513 square feet) dedicated to the proposed OSHA trade school and the left side (12,097 square feet) dedicated to office spaces of Tri-Valley Career Center, Administration & Fiscal Agency, Apprenticeship, Contract Education, and Title IV-E Child Welfare (shown in Figure 4 below). The OSHA area would be demised into five classrooms, a training room and conference room. The training room is used by the OSHA staff members and teachers for the administrative work and the conference room can be used by any office spaces on this floor on an as-needed basis. The restrooms, lunch and breakroom will also be shared by all facilities on this floor. OSHA is part of the United States Department of Labor providing safety training and educational services to workers. It is an independent body; however, it is also affiliated with the Economic Development and Contract Education (EDCE) Division of CLPCCD and provides training to working professionals. CLPCCD operates the only authorized OSHA Training Institute Education Center headquartered in Northern California, and covers California, Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada and Guam. OSHA ensures safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women by setting and enforcing standards and by providing training, outreach, education and assistance. Professionals working in the construction industry like carpenters, construction workers, etc., can directly enroll through OSHA and take classes such as workers' rights, safety training, etc. OSHA classes at this facility would be offered seven days a week, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Students would enroll in either a four-week program, with classes being offered either on a Wednesday or weekend (Saturday and Sunday), or in a month-long program from Tuesday to Friday (Refer Exhibit B for the full schedule). Up to 15 students would be enrolled in each class and not all classrooms and lab would be occupied every day. There would be a maximum of 90 students, seven administrative staff and six instructors/teachers at this facility at any one time. The office spaces of Administrative & Fiscal Agency, Apprenticeship, Contract Education, Title IV Childcare and Tri-Valley Career Center will operate from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday, with occasional need for business as early as 6:30 a.m. and as late as 8 p.m. (Refer Exhibit B for the full schedule). There would be approximately 22 employees in these offices and approximately 10 visitors are expected on a typical day. The operation of the entire facility, including the office uses and trade school, would involve up to 90 students and 35 employees/teachers working from the third floor.
