P24-0370, 6663 Owens Drive Planning Commission 5 of 6 other tenants. A recommended condition of approval requires the exterior doors remain closed when not being used for ingress/egress purposes and FXBS inform all students, parents, and staff not to loiter or make loud noises outside the building before or after classes. Similarly, staff believes students would not be adversely affected by noise generated in the surrounding area. Furthermore, staff has included a standard condition of approval on the project that allows the City to review the project again to add mitigating conditions should any future complaints regarding noise levels occur. Such conditions could include modifying the hours of operation, reducing the number of people allowed in the building and requiring soundproofing of the subject building. Signage No signage is proposed at this time. If FXBS wishes to add signage, the proposed signage would be subject to Sign Design Review approval. ALTERNATIVES As articulated above, staff believes the preschool, as proposed and conditioned, is consistent with the objectives of the zoning district. However, alternatives to the proposal that could be considered by the Planning Commission include: 1. Denial of the application. Such an action would preclude the applicant from occupying the subject site and conducting the specified activities; or 2. Approval of the CUP with modifications. The Planning Commission could approve the CUP, but with fewer students and/or planned activities, including use of the outdoor play area, with modified hours of operation, or other changes to the proposal. Since staff is able to support the findings to approve the project, as proposed, and believes the project will not adversely impact any existing on-site uses or the surrounding area, staff suggests that neither of the two project alternatives above should be pursued. 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 and a notification was posted on-site per the on-site project notification policy. Staff has provided the location and noticing map as Exhibit C for reference. At the time this report was published, staff had not received any public comments about the project. PLEASANTON BUSINESS PARK CENTER ASSOCIATION While the City does not require the approval of the Pleasanton Business Park Center Owners’ Association (Association) prior to Planning Commission consideration, the Association has reviewed the application for the proposed use and found it is in substantial compliance with the Valley Business Park guidelines set forth in its Covenants, Codes & Restrictions (CC&Rs). ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT This project is categorically exempt (Section 15301, Class 1, Existing Facilities) from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
