P19-0008, 5200 Franklin Drive Planning Commission 10 of 11 measures (Exhibit A). Possible mitigating conditions could include reducing the number of students and/or modifying the arrival/departure times. Noise The PMC states that a proposed conditional use must be in accordance with the objectives of that conform with the General Plan and to protect them from inharmonious influences and Staff anticipates the proposed use would generate interior noise levels comparable to and no different from those of an office or commercial use. The proposed sessions would be held indoors, with the exterior doors closed during business hours. According to the applicant, there would be no loud amplified noise, music or speech that would generate noise above typical speech levels. Based upon the interior floor plan of the proposed facility, in conjunction with operational features of the project, staff does not believe that any special noise mitigation (i.e., double layer of sheetrock on interior walls) will be necessary. Staff has included a condition that requires the applicant to inform all students not to loiter or make loud noises outside the building before or after classes. Therefore, it is unlikely the noise produced by the proposed use will adversely affect adjacent tenant spaces or be in excess of 70 dBA at any point outside of the property plane as prescribed by the Municipal Code. ALTERNATIVES As outlined in the above analysis staff believes the use, as proposed and conditioned, would be compatible with the other uses in the vicinity and not create adverse impacts, and recommends the Planning Commission approve the project as proposed and conditioned. However, alternatives to the proposal that could be considered by the Planning Commission include: 1. Denial of the application, therefore not allowing a tutoring facility to be operated at the subject site; or 2. Approval of the application with modified hours, number of tutoring sessions, number of students, etc. SUMMARY OF PROS/CONS OF PROJECT PROS CONS Use is consistent with the General Plan and zoning designation. The proposal may increase traffic and parking demand; however, traffic/circulation and parking impacts would not be adverse. Provides educational services for children. Allows for operation of a new local business and tutoring center. PUBLIC NOTICE AND COMMENTS Notices of this application were sent to surrounding property owners and tenants within a 1,000-foot radius of the site.
