residential uses. Based on this analysis, staff believes the proposed preschool would be compatible with the surrounding uses. Parking There are 435 parking spaces shared among three buildings on the subject site. The combined building floor area of the three buildings is 120,112 square feet. Therefore, the parking ratio at the subject site is one space for every 276 square feet of floor area. Crosspoint Church is allocated 128 parking spaces based on its building square footage. The proposed school would be located in Suite 100 of the building, and accordingly, it would be allotted 82 parking spaces. Parking Demand from Suite 100 (i.e. Church and Preschool Operations) Crosspoint Church's programs take place primarily on weekends. Its evening programs start at 8 p.m. Thus, there is no parking conflict between church programs and the proposed preschool sharing Suite 100. In the month of July, Crosspoint Church holds a one-week Vacation Bible School (VBS) for a maximum of 100 students. During that one-week time, the proposed preschool would be closed. Thus, there is no parking conflict between Crosspoint Church's VBS and the proposed preschool. Section 18.88.030(E) (Schedule of off-street parking space requirements) of the Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC) requires the proposed use to provide one parking space for each employee, including teachers and administrators, and one space for each four students in grade 10 or above. The student parking requirement, one space for each four students, is not applicable since the students are below grade 10. The proposed preschool would have 12 staff members. Crosspoint Church has five staff members to attend daily business during the hours when the preschool is in operation. Thus, the allocated 82 parking spaces would be more than adequate to meet the parking demand of 17 spaces from Suite 100. Staff notes that Section 18.88.030 of the PMC does not address parking demand during drop- off/pick-up times, which would be the most impacted time from a parking standpoint. If the requested 49-student preschool is approved, if all students arrive and depart at the same time, the preschool would have a parking demand of 61 parking spaces (49 students + 12 staff members). Together with five staff members at the church, the cumulative parking demand from Suite 100 would be 66 spaces. The allotted 82 spaces would also be adequate to handle the needs. The parking agreement signed among property owners allows 40 parking spaces in the front of the subject site (on Gibraltar Drive side) be used for preschool drop-off/pick-up. The agreement states the 40-drop-off/pick-up spaces should satisfy the demand when the preschool reaches its capacity. Thus, there should not be a parking issue during drop- off/pickup times.

The subject site would have adequate on-site parking for the proposed use (as discussed in the Parking section below) and the activities occurring at the facility are not expected to generate significant noise levels. Children would be supervised at all times, both inside the facility and in the playground. The playground is located directly in front of the subject building, away from businesses in the other buildings on the site. The exterior doors of the tenant space are conditioned to be closed except when being used. Additionally, the proposed preschool could provide convenient childcare services to nearby P20-0740 and P20-0741, 5627 Gibraltar Drive Planning Commission Page 7 of 12
