_ written narratives" and inquired whether that was what Mr. Iserson had referred to. Ms. Decker noted that Exhibit A, the narrative and the description of business operations, plans, and layouts were enforceable, as was Exhibit B, being the conditions of approval. Commissioner Blank inquired about the use of the word "substantially," with respect to the children's ages, such as athree-year-old or a 13-year-old. Ms. Harryman noted that it would be easier for the City to enforce items within the conditions of approval as opposed to the staff report. She noted that the staff report was particularly useful when interpreting the intent of items in the conditions of approval that were more implied than explicit. She noted that the word "substantially" was commonly used by lawyers that was not sharply defined and was subject to interpretation. Commissioner O'Connor suggested that the condition state that all children be escorted. With respect to the reference to the operating schedule, Commissioner Blank inquired about the use of the word "generally." Ms. Decker interpreted that to mean that there would be some flexibility in terms of five minutes either way; on the other hand, if the school were to adhere to a specific schedule, that would be stated. Commissioner Blank noted that an article in the newspaper (distributed to the Commission) stated, "Eazly morning and afternoon classes will be reserved for students as young as 4, while later evening classes will be reserved for older children and adults." He did not know whether that implied that there would be eazly morning classes on weekdays or late evening classes on the weekends. He inquired whether there would be afternoon classes during the week or evening classes on Saturday and Sunday and requested clarification. Ms. Decker noted that the applicant noted the operating hours would be Monday through Friday from 3:00 p.m. unti19:00 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. She believed the article discussed the Fremont site. Commissioner Blank requested that the language regarding the schedule include "plus or minus one hour." Chairperson Fox wanted to ensure the school closed by 9:00 p.m. so the neighborhood across the street would not be disturbed. Commissioner Blank suggested that the language regarding the schedule read "plus or minus 30 minutes." That suggestion was generally acceptable to the Commission. Commissioner Blank inquired whether Chairperson Fox intended for the parent of a 12-year-old to wait on-site during the class. Chairperson Fox noted that she would like the pazenUguazdian of afour-year-old to remain on-site but that she would be more flexible fora 12-year-old. Commissioner Blank did not want the language to be unduly restrictive for the parents. Chairperson Fox suggested that children ten years or younger be supervised on-site by a pazent or guardian. Commissioner Blank suggested that staff work with the applicant to come up with a suitable condition that would accomplish the Planning Commission's concerns.
