P24-0198, 1262 Quarry Lane, Suite A Planning Commission 6 of 7 properties and adequate parking exists on-site to accommodate all existing and proposed uses. However, should parking problems occur, staff has recommended a condition of approval that allows the Director of Community Development to refer the use permit ba ck to the Planning Commission for possible additional mitigation measures which could include a reduction in the number of students on-site at any one time or alternative hours of operation. Noise The subject parcel and building are in an industrial area, and a certain amount of noise is expected. For industrial properties, such as the subject parcel, the Municipal Code states, “No person shall produce or allow to be produced by any machine, animal, device, or combination of the same, on industrial property, a noise level in excess of 75 dBA [A -weighted decibels] at any point outside of the property plane.” The Municipal Code also states a proposed conditional use must be in accordance with the objectives of the Zoning Ordinance. One of those objectives is to “Promote the stability of existing land uses that conform with the General Plan and to protect them from inharmonious influences and harmful intrusions.” All proposed activities would occur inside the subject building and any noise generated from these activities would be consistent with other activities in the industrial area and should not generate more noise than is typical for an industrial area . Furthermore, the subject building does not contain any operable windows, which would further reduce noise impacts on the surrounding area. To further minimize any noise impacts, staff is recommending the following conditions of approval: • All doors shall remain closed at all times during activities and/or business hours. • The applicant shall inform their students and parents/guardians to not loiter outside of the building and to be courteous and quiet when entering or leaving the parking area . • The City shall have the right to review the project again to add mitigating conditions should any future complaints regarding noise levels occur. Such conditions could include reducing the number of people allowed in the building at any one time, modifying the hours of operation, and requiring additional soundproofing of the subject building. With the inclusion of the recommended conditions above , staff has determined it is unlikely the noise produced by the proposed use would adversely affect adjacent tenant spaces or be in excess of 75 dBA at any point outside of the property plane as prescribed by the Municipal Code. Therefore, staff does not believe the proposed use would be disruptive to existing or future neighboring businesses/tenants or residences . Signage No signage is proposed at this time. If the applicant elects to add signage, the proposed signage would be required to adhere to Valley Business Park sign guidelines and the Municipal Code. Any deviations would require a separate Sign Design Review application to be submitted to the City for consideration.
