P24-0110; 5675 Owens Drive (4452 Rosewood parent address) Planning Commission 7 of 9 Eaves Pleasanton, an apartment complex of 456 residential units, is located approximately 0.2 miles to the east of the project. It has a total of 938 on-site parking spaces for both residents and guests, whereas per §18.88.A.3.a. of PMC, 751 parking spaces are required for the 456- unit apartment complex. As such, Eaves Pleasanton has substantially more parking than required by the PMC. . The applicant, AvalonBay Communities, is also the owner of Eaves Pleasanton. Included in the project narrative is a letter stating AvalonBay Communities will allocate 10 parking spaces at Eaves Pleasanton to be used for the proposed daycare staff parking. This would provide the needed parking during drop-off and pick-up times. Although this would mean a potential drop in available parking at Eaves Pleasanton, the proposed use would be limited to daytime and weekday periods only, when at least a proportion of residents of the complex would not be home and on-site parking demand is lower. The Traffic Engineering staff has reviewed the proposed off-site parking arrangement and accepted it as it finds it should solve the assumed parking shortage and circulation delay. To ensure the parking arrangement will be honored while the daycare facility is in operation, staff has added a condition of approval to address this arrangement. Similar to processing any other conditional use permit, staff has included a condition of approval which addresses if parking problems occur, it would allow the Director of Community Development to refer the use permit back to the Planning Commission for possible mitigation measures, such as reducing enrollment capacity, modifying the arrival/departure times, etc. Traffic and Circulation The Traffic Engineering Division has also reviewed the proposal for potential traffic impacts during peak hours. Based on the off-site parking arrangement, circulation to and from the site and temporary queuing on site should not impact the existing vehicle movements on the street. However, staff will monitor the circulation during drop-off and pick-up times to ensure no significant impacts. If it is determined that queuing to wait for an available parking space during drop-off and pick-up times impacts roadway traffic flow, staff will require additional off-site parking arrangements to be made unless the applicant wishes to decrease facility enrollment. Further, if unanticipated impacts are observed and adequate mitigation is not able to be made, then the application may be brought back to the Planning Commission for subsequent review at a public hearing. Staff has included conditions of approval to address this item in Exhibit A. As the proposed drop-off and pick-up times are within peak traffic periods, applicable traffic impact fees would be required at this time. Noise The PMC states a proposed conditional use must be in accord with the objectives of the Zoning Ordinance. conform with the General Plan and to protect them from inharmonious influences and harmful As proposed, with the exception of the play area, programs would be held indoors with doors closed during business hours. Although there will be music time included in the curriculum, the applicant has indicated operation would st Ordinance. Since the facility is located in standalone buildings, staff does not believe the noise from activities would cause a significant negative impact on the adjacent uses. However, if noise does become an issue in the future, staff has included a condition of approval which allows the Conditional Use Permit to be amended or revoked.
