which would require exiting in that same direction, increasing the flow. She described the relative distances to the site from each route and noted that staff must evaluate traffic impact to each neighborhood. She added that policing that effort would be difficult in terms of any net benefit to the residents on Golden Road. Mr. Grubstick concurred with Ms. Decker’s assessment and noted that restricting movements out of the parking lot to a right turn would drive more traffic into the neighborhood. He did not believe that would be an acceptable alternative. A discussion of alternate traffic patterns ensued. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Blank regarding whether any alternate traffic pattern that provided better access would be the result of an agreement between the two parties, Ms. Harryman confirmed that was true. She understood that the easement was to serve the facilities at Early Years Children’s Center. Commissioner O’Connor believed that most of the trips were drop-offs and pick-ups from the school sessions and that the only difference would be traffic at the Sunday service if some parking were to be moved from Del Valle Parkway to Hopyard Road. He would rather have a bigger buffer and save more trees, but he was concerned about the diminished parking spaces in that event. Chairperson Fox invited a straw vote to see who preferred each parking plan. Commissioner O’Connor noted that expanding the future would be expensive. Commissioner Blank moved to find that the proposed development is in conformance to the General Plan, to make the required conditional use findings as listed in the staff report, and to approve Case PCUP-155/PDR-513, as shown on the proposed Master Site Plan (122-parking space option), subject to the conditions of approval listed in Exhibit B of the staff report, as recommended by staff, with the following modifications: (1) Modify Condition No. 3 to extend the lapsing provision of the design review and use permit from one year to 18 month; and (2) Replace Condition No. 7 with the following language: “Prior to City’s issuance of building permit, the applicant shall pay school impact fees as required by the Pleasanton Unified School District.” Commissioner Olson seconded the motion. Chairperson Fox requested an amendment to include an unpaved, but maintained, pathway on the north side of the parking lot, subject to the review and approval of the Planning Director and Chief Building Official. Commissioners Blank and Olson accepted the proposed amendment. Ms. Decker recommended that a condition be added directing the applicant to apply for a Temporary Conditional Use Permit to allow the temporary structures to be maintained in PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES January 24, 2007 Page 21 of 24
