PUBLIC NOTICE Staff sent notices of the Planning Commission's public hearing on this item to all prop- erty owners and residents located within 1,000-feet of the subject property. Staff received several phone calls and emails from six neighboring households that expressed opposi- tion to the project. PUBLIC COMMENT In response to the public notice, members of six households on Paseo Navarro expressed concern over the application for a large family daycare home. Their concerns can be grouped into three main categories: increased traffic, parking & safety issues, noise, and aesthetics & decreased property values. One neighbor wrote staff to express support for the project. See Exhibit D, attached public comments. FINDINGS The Planning Commission needs to make the following use permit findings prior to ap- proving a large family daycare home. These findings must relate to the specific proposal being made. 1. The location of the proposed conditional use is in accordance with the objectives of the zoning ordinance and the purpose of the district in which the site is located. The subject site is located in the R-I-6500 Single Family Residential District. Large family daycare homes are a conditionally permitted use in the R-l District and are considered by the California Health and Safety Code as an accessory use to residen- tially zoned and occupied properties. This finding can therefore be made. 2. The proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which the conditional uses would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to the properties or im- provements in the vicinity. Based on the comments for other agencies, neighbors, as well as the Division of City Traffic Engineering, it is found that the operation of a large family daycare home in this single-family residential area is appropriate. The proposed large family daycare home is consistent with the purpose and objects of single-family residential areas when the site design enables proper parking and circulation. This finding can there- fore be made. 3. The proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of Chapter 18.124 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code. The proposed conditional use will comply with all applicable sections of Chapter 18.124 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code and meets all applicable standards. This finding can therefore be made.
