PUD-114-01M, 11300 Dublin Canyon Road Planning Commission 13 of 15 requires churches to provide one space for each six fixed seats or one space for each 60 square feet of floor area useable for seating in all facilities in which simultaneous use is proposed. The church is proposing a total of 358 fixed seats. A total of 60 parking spaces would be required to support the proposed church worship services on Sundays based on one space for each 6 fixed seats. Although not to be used simultaneously, if the overall gym capacity were to be considered using one space for each 60 square feet of floor area, then a total of 115 parking stalls would be required. Each of these calculations are below the 121 parking stalls that will be provided onsite. The applicant has also observed that, at its existing facility, some families drive together to church in carpools, and some people get dropped off and picked up for services. Based on the proposed site plan, staff believes the site will have adequate parking to support of meeting the growing demand and anticipated congregation growth within the coming years. Similar to other church projects, Conditions of Approval have been included to ensure the operation of the church, including gymnasium use and special events, do not have any parking impacts on the surrounding area in the future, by requiring City approval prior to any changes in the operation or number of worship services, activities, events, or changes to the schedule or number of church group meetings. In addition, conditions of approval have been included to require a Temporary Use Permit for all events over 350 attendees so that the church can work with the city ahead of any large festivals or gatherings, such as the Greek Festival or large weddings and receptions, to mitigate all traffic and parking concerns prior to each event. With respect to special events such as the yearly Greek Festival, which has the potential to have over 500 participants, the applicant has indicated their commitment to managing parking etc., and is considering ideas such as utilizing nearby parking with transit/shuttles to the church site. Noise The Pleasanton Municipal Code states that a proposed conditional use must be in accord with the objectives of the Zoning Ordinance. existing land uses that conform with the General Plan and to protect them from inharmonious The church will utilize some microphones and amplified music during worship services including a choir as well as group assemblies, weddings, receptions, and special events. All on-site activities will occur inside, and noise produced by the use cannot exceed 60 dBA at any point outside of the property plane as prescribed by code (P.M.C. §9.040.30). Events such as the Greek Festival which may be held outdoors require approval through the Temporary Use Permit process in which specific event operations will be reviewed in order to meet all Code requirements. Furthermore, the multi-purpose building does not contain any operable windows along the west elevation and the Applicant has indicated the exterior doors will not be opened during the day which will further reduce noise impacts on the surrounding area. Therefore, staff does not believe the proposed use would be disruptive to existing or future neighboring businesses/tenants. To further ensure noise would be contained indoors, a condition has been added requiring all doors to remain closed during operating hours. Creekside Development Limits and Maintenance Requirements The northernmost residential property lines are generally located at the top of the southern bank of the Dublin Creek. Consistent with the Alameda County Watercourse Protection Ordinance and as conditioned, no new grading or development would be allowed within 20 feet of the top of bank or the edge of riparian vegetation, whichever is further from the creek
