Resolution No. PC-2024-__ Page Two One of the primary concerns in reviewing a CUP application is the effect of the proposed use on surrounding uses. The Land Use Element of the General Plan designates the subject property as “Business Park (Industrial / Commercial and Office).” The zoning for the project site is PUD-HDR (Planned Unit Development – High-Density Residential) District. It conditionally permits land uses such as daycare centers. If the CUP is approved, the proposed childcare facility would be consistent with the zoning district. When the proposed use is educational, instructional, recreational, or daycare, staff evaluates how that use integrates into the surrounding uses. The uses immediately surrounding the site include office, light industrial/warehouse, public and private schools, and residential. In the past, the Planning Commission has granted Conditional Use Permits for preschool facilities in business parks including Safari Kid at 6646 Willow Road, Crosspoint Church preschool at 5627 Gibraltar Drive, Little Ivy League at 4160 Hacienda Drive, Global Village School at 4807 Hopyard Road, Pleasanton Bilingual Montessori School at 5724 W. Las Positas Boulevard, and Empire Montessori at 5950 Stoneridge Drive. These preschools have been operating without any apparent adverse impacts on the surrounding businesses or residents since no complaints have been reported to the City. Staff does not expect the proposed use would create any adverse impacts on the surrounding uses if it is operated in conformance to the conditions of approval. As discussed and analyzed in the agenda report, with off-site parking arrangement for daycare staff parking, the subject site would have the needed on-site parking for the proposed use and the activities occurring at the facility are not expected to generate significant noise levels. Children would be supervised at all times, both inside the facility and in the play area. The play area is located on the northeast side of the buildings, away from the street(s). Additionally, the proposed facility could provide convenient childcare services to nearby residential uses. Based on this analysis, the Planning Commission finds the proposed use would be compatible with the surrounding uses. Therefore, this finding can be made. 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 proposed daycare facility would make a good neighbor, based on the play area location and off-site parking arrangement which will help alleviate parking and traffic impacts. In addition, the Health Risk Assessment prepared by ESA for the proposed use finds the daycare facility and play area would not be exposed to significant health risks from existing sources of air pollution and the health risk would be below BAAQMD thresholds. If the conditions of approval are followed, the Planning Commission finds the proposed establishment would not be detrimental to the
