side of Stoneridge Drive, and the east side of Hopyard Road. The corner location provides <br /> convenient vehicle access to enter/exit the site. <br /> The Traffic Engineering Division has reviewed the proposal and determined a traffic study is <br /> not required. However, the summer camp would end at 4 p.m. Monday-Friday, which is within <br /> the evening traffic peak hours. As such, traffic fees may be required for PM peak, if warranted <br /> based on observed traffic. Additionally, should the operation deviate from the provided <br /> narrative (Exhibit B), review from the City's Traffic Engineer would be required to assess <br /> whether additional fees and/or a traffic study would be required. A condition has been added to <br /> address this item. <br /> Maximum Capacity <br /> The applicant proposes a maximum of 50 people at one time. The Livermore-Pleasanton Fire <br /> Department (LPFD) has reviewed the proposal and the existing floor plan. Given the floor plan <br /> shows only one exit from the common area, LPFD would limit the maximum capacity to 49 <br /> people at one time. Staff has discussed this requirement with the applicant and added a <br /> condition to address it. <br /> Noise <br /> The PMC states a proposed conditional use must be in accord with the objectives of the <br /> Zoning Ordinance. One of those objectives is to "promote the stability of existing land uses that <br /> conform with the General Plan and to protect them from inharmonious influences and harmful <br /> intrusions." As stated by the applicant, sound deadening felt has already been installed in the <br /> ceiling of each of the classroom and practice rooms. Staff has included a condition requiring <br /> doors be closed but not locked during instruction times. Thus, it is unlikely noise will be an <br /> issue. If noise becomes an issue in the future, staff has included a condition which allows the <br /> Conditional Use Permit to be amended or revoked. <br /> ALTERNATIVES <br /> As outlined in the above analysis, staff believes the programs, as proposed and conditioned, <br /> would be compatible with the other uses in the vicinity and not create adverse impacts, and <br /> recommends the Planning Commission approve the project as proposed and conditioned. <br /> However, alternatives to the proposal that could be considered by the Planning Commission <br /> include: <br /> 1. Denial of the application. The Commission could deny the proposed program and SMA <br /> would maintain the existing operation; or <br /> 2. Approval of the CUP with modifications. The Planning Commission could approve the <br /> CUP with modified hours of operation and maximum capacity. <br /> Staff believes the findings to approve the project could be made as proposed and conditioned, <br /> since the project will not adversely impact any existing uses or the surrounding area, and the <br /> proposed programs would be compatible with the existing multi-tenant shopping center. Staff <br /> recommends neither of the two project alternatives above be pursued. <br /> P20-0596, 4811 Hopyard Road, Suite G7 Planning Commission <br /> Page 7 of 8 <br />mmission for possible <br /> mitigation measures (Exhibit A) Possible mitigating conditions could include reducing the <br /> number of children, modifying the arrival/departure times, etc. <br /> Traffic and Circulation <br /> The subject site is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Hopyard Road and <br /> Stoneridge Drive.
