in nature to those uses listed in section 18.88.030(E)(2), i.e., business, professional trade, art, craft, music and dancing schools and colleges. Per the PMC, the parking ratio for such uses requires one parking space for each employee/instructor, including teachers and administrators, and one additional space for each two students sixteen years or older. Based on the three adjacent tenant uses in the subject building, which do not require conditional use permits, a total of 20 spaces would be required between the three of them; leaving the remaining 5 spaces for suite A (the Academy). During the two scheduled pick-up times, there will be 20 students transported by the applicant from their schools to the site in the 14-passenger van and/or the 7-passenger Dodge Durango. Based on the parking ratio stated above, a total of 3 spaces would be needed for the children's program portion (two parking spaces for (Mr. Pfund and his instructor/employee) and an additional parking space for the 14-passenger van that will be kept on-site. Per the Code, there are enough spaces to accommodate the children's program. The adult program contemplates 10 students. PMC section 18.88.030(E)(2) requires 1 parking space for each 2 students aged 16 and older. Accordingly, the Academy would need 5 parking spaces for 10 students. Because 2 of the parking spaces are utilized by the Dodge Durango and the passenger van that remains on site, this leaves only 3 parking spaces for adult students. Staff notes that the additional instructor/employee is only on site for the children's program and therefore is not a part of the adult class parking requirements. Therefore, the applicant would need to reduce the number of adult students to 6 (one space for each 2 students) in order to meet the parking requirements set forth in the municipal code. Staff notes that there is off street parking along Quarry Lane. However the parking count for conditionally permitted uses is required to be onsite and therefore off-street parking cannot be counted towards meeting the parking requirements. Circulation Since the applicant will be picking up the students and bringing them back to the facility, circulation during drop-off time for the children's program should not be an issue. However, the proposed suite is located at the end of the building where there is only one way in and out for parking and ingress/egress. If all of the parking spaces are utilized in front of the building and a parent is picking up a child, or dropping a child off during the camp sessions, staff is concerned that circulation may be an issue. The applicant, however, feels that circulation is adequate because he says the parents pick-up and drop-off the children at staggered times and only stay long enough to drop-off/pick-up and sign the child in/out. (See appendix O to Exhibit A.2 depicting the parking lot during evening hours). Noise The subject site is in an industrial area, and a certain amount of noise is expected. For industrial properties, such as the subject property, the Pleasanton Municipal Code states: PCUP-200, Tri-Valley Martial Arts Academy Planning Commission Page 10 of 16
