project. He indicated that the design of the building is focused on providing space for education, social, and athletic activities and combining them in one building. He indicated it is a long, narrow site and relies on shazed parking and not having to build extra pazking. He reviewed the azchitectural components of the building and indicated that the back 30 feet of the building towazd the adjacent residential neighborhood is focused on storage rather than active use. The western side of the building towards Rheem Drive will be closed and locked because the Church is concerned about security. Meeting rooms and a conference room for special events, speakers and banquets will be in the north side of the building. Mr. Miller discussed the intensity of use and indicated that the parish center building will not be used in the summer. No activities will occur during the summer in the building, and very little activity will occur in the weekday and none in the morning peak hours. He indicated that during the school yeaz, the building will be used in the evening for religious education for youth. Mr. Miller indicated that Sunday would be the day with the heaviest use, but it will not be used simultaneously with the Church/chapel. After church on Sunday, he indicated the parish center would be used for Sunday brunch, and during Sunday evening, for youth religious education classes. He noted that the 6:30 p.m. mass on Sunday is a great success and the parking demand is greater than can be accommodated at this time. He indicated that the pazking issue is an existing issue they aze trying to solve and that the agreement with owners of the pazking lots in the surrounding commercial properties will help. He stated that staff was very thorough in analyzing Stoneridge Drive for additional pazking. He indicated that the third lane that it was originally designed to accommodate that now contains the bike lane will accommodate on-street pazking. He noted that in terms of traffic, there would be very little impact on a.m./p.m. peak traffic from the basketball practices and that only 20 players at a time would be present. They understood the neighbors' concerns about noise and were committed to keeping the air conditioning units quiet and as far away from the neighborhood as possible. With respect to the basketball program noise, they intended to keep control over that situation. Regazding alcohol, they would have banquets at the facility and envisioned only serving alcohol with meals including wine at tables and a cocktail bar beforehand. Mr. Miller addressed the height of the building and showed an overlay of the outline of the Church with a silhouette of the proposed parish center/gymnasium. He discussed the need to accommodate the ceiling, duct work, lights, pipes, and roofing and to hide photovoltaics. He noted that the City of Pleasanton required dedicated wiring for photovoltaic equipment; thus, this building would be LEED-certified; they intended to make this a sustainable green building. He noted that there would be shazed pazking, energy-efficient design in terms of mechanical systems, photovoltaic system, recycling of building materials, and rainwater treatment. Commissioner O'Connor asked Mr. Miller to indicate the height of the parapet wall. Mr. Miller indicated that the pazapet wall varied from three-and-a-half to four feet high with a peak of 34 feet, with an 18-inch variation as it undulates up and down. Mr. Miller also indicated water would flow from the roof down one side of the gym to the bioswale PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES November 29, 2006 Page 9 of 28
