Mr. Iserson recalled hearing there were other small daycare centers in the neighborhood; however, pointed out that staff does not regulate small daycare facilities and would not be aware of it. Mr. Sullivan believed there were two to three additional home daycare centers in operation on Paseo Navarro. He believed the Pleasanton Municipal Code stipulated that no large family daycare homes should be approved if the site is within three hundred feet of another large daycare center. Mr. Iserson said that was correct. Mayor Hosterman believed what was being discussed was a cumulative or an aggregate impact with additional daycare centers within the same neighborhood. She asked staff if there was any way to measure it? Mr. Iserson pointed out that staff does not regulate small family daycare facilities and is not aware of their locations because it does not keep track of these facilities. It would be a case of observation and if there were significant amount of traffic associated with those facilities. Ms. McGovern pointed out that page six of the staff report stated that State law and City Code define large family daycares as accommodating between seven and fourteen children, and the Sutton's daycare facility is currently at eight children. She believed the Sutton's daycare center was not currently a small daycare center but a large daycare center. Mr. Iserson pointed out that there are provisions for small daycare centers for up to eight children and there is a bit of an overlap, which is attributed to State guidelines. Based on the staff report, Ms. McGovern's definition of a large family daycare facility included the Sutton's. She believed the 45-day condition of a meeting between the appropriate City representatives, the neighbors and the applicants was an overly cumbersome condition. She did not believe there would have been a three-two vote at the Planning Commission level without this condition, and removing this condition would be removing a condition that was important for the original vote. Mr. Brozoskyasked if the distances that large family daycare centers need to be apart is 300 feet? Mr. Iserson said yes. Mr. Brozosky recalled that when a Conditional Use Permit is issued, it is based on the land so that the first person within any neighborhood that is issued this permit would mean that no other large family daycare center for the rest of its life could locate another large family daycare center within 300 feet of it? Mr. Iserson said Conditional Use Permits run with the land and if staff becomes aware there is no large family daycare center in operation, the use permit could always be rescinded. Mr. Brozosky asked if any conditional use permit could be revoked? Mr. lserson said that in order to revoke a conditional use permit, a public hearing process would need to be conducted prior to rescinding the conditional use permit.
