P22-0912, 5200 Franklin Drive Planning Commission 2 of 7 BACKGROUND In April 2019, the Planning Commission unanimously approved a Conditional Use Permit for the Art of Problem Solving (AoPS) Academy to operate a tutoring facility with a maximum of 72 students at one time at 5200 Franklin Drive, Suite 110. Shortly after its opening in December 2019, in March 2020 the World Health Organization (WHO) declared Covid19 pandemic and AoPS changed its tutorial sessions to online sessions until August 2021 when in-classroom sessions resumed. While operating online, representatives of AoPS reached out to staff discussing a new program including instructions on Mondays and Fridays, that would also add sessions each day. The proposed expansion would increase student capacity by 48 students, a 67-percent increase compared to the maximum permitted by the original CUP approved by the Planning Commission. Since this increase is significant, staff is bringing the item to the Planning Commission for review and decision. SITE AND AREA DESCRIPTION The subject site is approximately 2.67 acres in area and is located on the northwest corner of Franklin Drive and Johnson Drive (see Figure 1). The subject building is approximately 33,800 square feet in area and currently has two office-use tenants (Extreme Network in Suite 100 and Teichert in Suite 115). AoPS currently occupies Suite 110, located in the southwest quadrant of the building (See Figure 2). Surrounding uses consist mainly of office uses. Primary access to the site is provided by two driveways, one from each street. The project site does not share drive aisles or parking with the adjoining parcels. There is a total of 138 on-site parking spaces within the subject site. Figure 1: Project Site and Surrounding Areas Dublin San Ramon Services District
