Resolution No. PC-2023-11 Page Two Development -Industrial/Commercial-Office) District. The City approved a PUD Minor Modification (Case No. PUD-80-16-17M) for the subject site to conditionally permit tutoring facilities with more than 20 students on-site at any given time. One of the primary concerns in reviewing a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application is the effect on, and compatibility of a proposed use with surrounding uses, including consideration of the operational characteristics of the project with respect to nearby uses. The original CUP application from AoPS was reviewed and unanimously approved by the Planning Commission in 2019. AoPS started operation in December 2019 for a short period of time before changing to online session during the pandemic. In-person sessions resumed in August 2021. In the period between August 2021 and June 2023, staff received no complaints or concerns from adjacent business tenants and the general public regarding AoPS, demonstrating AoPS is a compatible use in the area and that it is operating consistently with the applicable land use regulations. AoPS has requested expansion of the program to include additional classes and students' enrollment from the approved 72 students on site at one time to a maximum of 120 students on site at one time. AoPS will continue to be operated exclusively indoors. All students would be supervised by staff and exterior doors are closed except when being used. If same/similar operational procedures are in place and continue to be followed, staff does not anticipate the expanded program would cause/general significant adverse impacts. To ensure AoPS would continue to be operated in a professional manner, included a standard condition of approval would require the CUP be brought back to the Planning Commission for review should future issues arise in terms of noise, traffic, or parking that results in impacts to surrounding uses. Should this occur, the City would have the ability to mitigate, or revoke the CUP, if necessary. Therefore, from a land use perspective, the Planning Commission finds the proposed expansion to be acceptable at this location, as conditioned. B.That the proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity. As conditioned, the Planning Commission finds the existing tutoring facility has been a good neighbor, since all its activities would occur indoors, and its operation hours are generally outside the operating hours of nearby uses and do not involve large numbers of attendees. If the facility continues to operate as it currently is, it will continue to be a good neighbor and a compatible use. The tutoring use would not subject surrounding uses to heavy truck traffic, hazardous odors, high noise levels, or other objectionable influences. If the recommended conditions of approval are followed, the Planning Commission finds the proposed expansion DocuSign Envelope ID: 0D262A25-74D8-46AD-98CD-DE6BDE394CE5
