The proposed hours of operation are from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm, Monday through Friday. Most children will be dropped off in the morning between 7:30 and 8:30 am and will be picked up between 4:30 and 5:30 pm. The applicant proposes three hours of outdoor time (weather permitting) during the lO-hour working day. The applicant will retain another employee to assist with childcare to meet the increased need. ANALYSIS Large family day care homes are required to meet five standards in accordance with Sec- tion 18.124.240 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code. The five standards follow along with a brief discussion on each standard as related to this project. A. Spacing: No large family day care home shall be approved if the site of the proposed use is located within three hundred feet (300') of the exterior boundary of another large family day care home or nursery school. unless the Zoning Administrator makes the specific finding that the concentration of such uses will not adversely affect the neighborhood in which it is located due to the cumulative increase in noise, traffic and/or parking requirements, . Staff has verified that the proposed facility is not within 300 feet of another large fam- ily daycare or nursery school, therefore the spacing requirement is satisfied. B. Traffic Control: Large family day care homes shall not create any traffic hazard. The Zoning Administrator may prescribe such conditions as may be reasonably required to ensure the safety of all affected by the proposed use, including requiring traffic-control measures reasonably required to avoid any identified adverse effect, . The Pleasanton Division of Traffic Engineering classifies Paseo Navarro as having a level of service (LOS) A. LOS A describes residential conditions where the typical traffic volume is under 300 vehicles per day with only 30 vehicles during the peak travel hour. The Division of Traffic Engineering reviewed the proposed project and determined the addition of six to eight more vehicle trips during the peak travel hour would have no impact on the LOS for Paseo Navarro. No additional traffic mitigation is therefore required. . On April 6, 2005 from 7:45 am to 8:30 am, staff conducted a 'traffic study' in front of the subject site on Pas eo Navarro. Two cars arrived at 7:51 am, dropping off their children at the applicant's daycare. Another car arrived at 7:56 am. All three cars pulled in front of the applicant's home and parked in the right direction. During the next half hour, no other cars stopped at the applicant's home. Few cars passed down the street at all during the 45-minute traffic study. All cars that did pass by, including those stopping at the applicant's daycare were not speeding or driving recklessly. . In consideration of the concerns expressed by the surrounding neighbors, staff has conditioned the project to require that the applicant prepare flyers for, and distributed to, her clients stating: 1.
