A soundwaU is proposed to be built to mitigate the parking lot noise and landscaping will be instaUed on both sides of the wall to soften the visual impact. The rear service area has been deleted. This will mitigate potential noise problems. Set-up and take- down will occur on the side of the building in the parking lot. The application is also conditioned that any such loading after 9 pm or before 7 am would have to take place in front of the adobe. No deliveries are to occur between 8 pm and 9 am and no deliveries on Sunday. Security is another issue of concern for the neighbors. Two security personnel are to be present at all times. The live-in caretaker is expected to be one of the security personnel. They are to be accessible by hand-held mobile phones during events. Fencing will be installed around the parking lot to limit access to the facility and the rest of the development. No alcohol was requested to be on site. Staff feels that as long as food is also being served, alcohol would be acceptable. Any food preparation would have to adhere to Building Code and Health Department requirements. The community requested limiting teen activities. Staff feels there are responsible teen organizations who need places to meet. Staff is suggesting to permit teen activities for Pleasanton youth that have one chaperon for every ten teens. The options for approval as outlined in the staff report were discussed. Staff recommends that based on the conditions of the staff report, staff recommends approval of UP-96-08. In clarification, Mr. Iserson advised Commissioner Wright that the hours of operation were as listed in Condition 20. Further, Mr. Iserson advised Commissioner Wright that the caretaker would have use of the downstairs kitchen. Commissioner Cooper inquired about the hours of operation for the Century House. Mr. Iserson stated the hours are 10 am to 10 pm Friday and Saturday, 10 am to 9 pm on Sunday and music and alcohol are allowed with the approval of the Director of Parks and Community Services. Commissioner Kumaran asked about the use of 2.5 persons per vehicle in the occupancy rate for business conferences. Mr. Iserson stated the Zoning Ordinance does not address this issue. A previous parking study suggested 2.5 persons per car. This is subjective and the Commission has the option of lowering the per vehicle occupancy. He also noted that the weekday occupancy is 100 when most business conferences would take place. Commissioner Cooper stated he has heard that Golden Eagle Farm residents were advised the adobe would be a private residence. What will be the exposure to the City if this is approved? Mr. Iserson stated the City has no evidence of what was said in private negotiations. The City would have no liability for this. Commissioner Lutz inquired about the deceleration lane. It was required for this use when the PUD was approved. PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED Plannmg Commission Minutes Page 5 May 14, 1997 --~._--_._,_...._-~-----~.,----_.._._._-
