and are located adjacent to residences, which is 60 dBA and is the same noise limit allowed between two residential properties. Therefore, as proposed and conditioned, staff believes that it is unlikely that noises generated by activities inside or outside the parish center would significantly impact the nearby residences or businesses. Also, because the site is governed by a conditional use permit, the applicants can be required to mitigate future noise issues, should they arise. PUBLIC NOTICE Notices for design review and variance applications (and any appeals) are normally mailed to property owners and tenants within 1,000 feet of the subject property. In this case, staff expanded the notice area to include all residents in the Pleasanton Village, Mohr Park, Sycamore Place, and Stoneridge Orchard neighborhoods (see Attachment #9.g.). Prior to and after the Planning Commission meeting, staff received several comments from neighbors indicating their opposition or support of the project. Please see the attached letters and e-mails for complete details of the neighbors' comments. Staff also held a neighborhood meeting to receive public input on the project (please see the attached Planning Commission staff report for details). ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT The proposed project is categorically exempt (Class 5, Section 15305, Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations and Class 32, Section 15332, In-Fill Development Projects) from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Therefore, no environmental document accompanies this report. FISCAL IMPACT The proposed development would have a negligible financial impact on the City. CONCLUSION With the conditions established by the Planning Commission, staff believes that the revised master plan for the church facility will be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and is appropriate for the site. Staff also believes that the design of the parish center building is aesthetically pleasing and that the proposed building height would not be overbearing to the adjacent properties nor significantly impact the light, air, open space, and views between properties. Accordingly, staff supports the project as proposed and conditioned. SR:07:003 Page 7
