She asked whether there was some difference in Livermore and Pleasanton that would <br />require a building in Pleasanton to have four extra feet. Mr. Otto noted that he would not <br />be in a position to comment on Livermore's Code requirements. With respect to this <br />project, he stated that the applicant required 25 feet of inside cleazance for basketball use, <br />and beyond that, the structural requirements included beams, roof slope and duct work <br />for air conditioning and heating. For aesthetic reasons, the applicant designed the walls <br />to extend an additional three feet beyond the roofline. <br />Ms. Decker added that the pazapet would screen the photovoltaic system panels that the <br />Church may eventually install on the roof. <br />Acting Chairperson Fox noted that in the 1998 Master Plan, the original thought was to <br />have the gymnasium and classroom buildings on the blazik lot between the Church and <br />Nielsen Pazk and it was appealed to the City Council with a 3-2 decision with Michelotti, <br />Ayala, and Dennis supporting its approval and Pico and Tarver dissenting. She noted that <br />the lot next to Rheem Drive, now proposed for the parish center/gymnasium, was <br />originally supposed to be the site for the school. There was discussion from those <br />minutes regazding open space between the school and the neighborhood because there <br />needed to be a lazge play area for the 300 students proposed. She asked staff whether the <br />play azea envisioned in 1998 is approximately where the gymnasium is now being <br />proposed. Mr. Otto replied that the plan shows an outline of the conceptual footprint of <br />the building at that location. No play azeas were shown. <br />Commissioner Pearce asked for clarification regazding pazking in the staff report. She <br />asked for clazification in the discrepancies in pazking spaces. The report indicated that <br />435 spaces were in the approved Master Plan at buildout, but because 11 fewer spaces <br />currently exist on-site compazed to the 3221isted on the 1998 Master Plan, staff reduced <br />the buildout parking spaces by 11 spaces. Mr. Otto replied that he was not sure where the <br />lost spaces went but indicated it could be related to handicapped spaces or some changes <br />made during the building permit process such as location of utilities. Commissioner <br />Pearce also asked for a copy of the parking agreement. <br />Acting Chairperson Fox indicated that she had another question about pazking. She <br />indicated that she had visited the Church's pazking lot at 6:45 p.m. for two Sundays, and <br />the on-site pazking was full and there were vehicles leaving the pazking lot already <br />pazking across the street as well as within the neighborhood. She asked whether any City <br />staff was present at any of the Sunday evening pazking counts and asked how vehicles <br />were counted that had to leave the full pazking lotto pazk in the surrounding <br />neighborhood and surrounding off-site pazking lots. Mr. Otto indicated staff was not <br />present during the pazking counts and that this was done by the Church. <br />Acting Chairperson Fox explained that the public hearing would be open. She indicated <br />that members of the public other than the applicant would be limited to afive-minute <br />time limit. She reminded the members the audience that sometimes comments can get <br />somewhat a little emotional and that some in the audience may agree or disagree with <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES November 29, 2006 Page 7 of 28 <br />
