Frank Abil!ana Application for a conditional use pennit to establish a karate and low impact aerobics studio in an approximately 1,700 square foot tenant space (Suite D) located at 5737 Valley Avenue. Zoning for the property is PUD (Planned Unit Development) - Commercial District. Mr. Swift presented the staff report for a conditional use permit to allow a karate/aerobics studio at 5737 Valley Avenue, Suite D. Staff recommends approval of this permit, as Mr. Abigana intends to operate his studio similarly to the other karate studios operating in Pleasanton. Staff noted no problems have been associated with the other karate studios previously approved in both residential and commercial areas. Current conditions of approval for the shopping center state that the portion of the parking lot serving this suite be chained at 7:30 p.m., however, staff believes there is adequate parking just west of the building. Staff noted that a condition of approval of this application states that if any unusual noise creates a problem to the neighbors, this matter can be brought back before the Commission. In response to Commissioner McGuirk, staff advised no noise studies had been done, although a prior tenant had modified the building to mitigate noise problems. Staff has observed at other karate studios in town that the karate yelling is almost impossible to hear from outside an all-glass front building. Chairman Wright inquired about the after-hours parking. Staff noted that due to the condition requiring chaining this portion of the parking lot, those attending class from 7-9 p.m. will have to park in the main parking lot. Furthermore, staff feels there is sufficient parking because most of the other retail stores are closed at that time of the evening. PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED Frank Abigana, applicant, stated he has read and is in agreement with the staff report and its conditions. In an effort to mitigate a loitering problem, the applicant stated he will provide an area inside the facility for children to wait for their rides. "No Loitering" signs will also be posted. Mr. Abigana also stated he had contacted the neighbors regarding his business. Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 October 12, 1994
