. Maintain the landscaping. . Add low-level lighting in the La Petite Academy parking lot. (Staff noted that it was recently discovered that electrical power is present in the landscape island within the parking lot.) . Re-sign gate hours and close it on time. An electronic gate which closes automatically is preferred by the neighbors. Staff noted that a new, heavier gate was recently installed, but the property owner has stated it would be infeasible to install an electronic gate. . Noise from leaf blowers, street sweepers, etc., and noise from the Popi Lounge. The property manager has requested the sweeping crew to not enter this back area until 8:00 a.m.; this request has made a significant improvement for the neighbors. . Limit the uses to office use only to Building 5 and restrict hours of operation from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. . Prohibit skateboarding through the center. . Enforce the lights of the Sports Park be turned off at 10:30 p.m. Staff noted there is no condition of approval in the PUD governing the hours of operation of the daycare. Indirectly this could be controlled by enforcing the restriction on the entrance of cars into the parking lot until 6: 30 a. m. Staff noted that the daycare has had cleaning personnel on site as early as 5:00 a.m. and children arriving as early as 6:00 a.m. Staff feels significant progress has been made in resolving the issues between the neighbors and the shopping center, however, the allowed uses and hours of operation, hours of operation of daycare, request for an electronic gate, and the question of a second wall or addition of lattice panels are unresolved. Regarding the issues of the parking lot lights, the gate closure, and the Popi Lounge, staff feels there are conditions of approval within the PUD that would allow for resolution of these issues. Staff has also notified the neighbors to report future violations directly to the Code Enforcement officer. Possible alternatives would be to continue staff negotiations with the neighbors and the center managers and/or to make further conditions to the PUD which would include restricting the hours of operation and uses of Bldg. 5 (5737 Valley Avenue). In this case, the existing uses would become nonconforming but would be allowed to exist, but future businesses would have to comply. Or the amortization process could be used if the present uses are found to be a neighborhood nuisance. Another alternative would be to require retail uses to be subject to a conditional use permit process. Planning Commission Minutes Page 7 November 8, 1995
