No person shall produce or allow to be produced by any machine, animal, device, or combination of the same, on industrial property, a noise level in excess of seventy-five dBA at any point outside of the property plane. Immediately outside, with the doors closed, the noise level from the proposed use would be able to adhere to the 75-dBA noise requirement of the Pleasanton Municipal Code. The Pleasanton Municipal Code also states that a proposed conditional use must be in accord with the objectives of the Zoning Ordinance. One of those objectives is to "promote the stability of existing land uses that conform with the General Plan and to protect them from inharmonious influences and harmful intrusions." As proposed, staff believes that noise from the Academy, including youth program activities, would not negatively impact future or existing uses located adjacent to the subject suite. All doors will remain closed during business hours, further limiting noise impacts from and to surrounding tenants and properties. Therefore, it is unlikely that the noise produced by the operations will be in excess of 75 dBA at any point outside of the property plane as prescribed by code (P.M.C. §9.040.50). Based on the proposal, staff considers the use to be a quiet use as noise generated by the martial arts is mainly from bare feet stomping on the raised hardwood floors underlain with mats, punching and kicking pads, and letting out short shouts while practicing. Staff notes that when the children are on their breaks, the noise level may be more frequent and audible with the level of excitement. However, staff feels that this will not be an excess of the PMC noise requirement and would likely be more of a nuisance to the adjoining tenant(s) should this occur. Tenant Improvements No tenant improvements are currently proposed with this application. Any tenant improvements would be subject to the review and approval of the Building and Safety Division and the Fire Department. Changes to the exterior of the building would not be made without prior approval from the Planning Department. Signa~e At the time that staff conducted a site visit, signage did not exist for the tenant suite. If the applicant wishes to add signage, the proposed signage must adhere to the Valley Business Park's sign program and is subject to review and approval by the Planning Director prior to installation. PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of this application was sent to all properly owners and occupants within 1,000 feet of the subject property. At the time this report was prepared, staff had not received any comments or concerns. However, following the notice sent out on in December when this was first scheduled for Commission consideration, staff was contacted by Brian Bowers, property owner of 1020 PCUP-200, Tri-Valley Martial Arts Academy Planning Commission Page 11 of 16
