This project had a similar number of students (40) in similaz starting age ranges (3 - 6) as the application under review. The Planning Commission allowed the loading spaces for Montessori to be reduced from 8 spaces to 4 spaces based on the staggering of times that parents dropped off and picked up their children, starting at 7:30 a.m. Staff contacted the.Police Services and Public Works departments, and the loading of students at Montessori Plus has not negatively impacted the Strouds Plaza shopping center. Similarly, Tri-Valley Martial Arts has stated that parents drop off children at different times in the morning between 7:15 a.m. and 9 a.m, and. that Tri-Valley Martial Arts transports many of the students with a 15-passenger van.

Proiect Design and Development No exterior changes are proposed for the new use. Signage consistent with the existing Master Sign program of the shopping center is proposed. The Planning Division recommends a condition of project approval requiring that the area to the rear of the tenant space, accessed by the back exit, not be used as an outdoor play area for students, at any time, due to the inherent conflict between the truck traffic, truck loading and trash pick-up of adjacent businesses and children playing. Moreover, Staff recommends that the basketball hoops in the rear pazking lot be removed (included as' Condition 8). In addition, the Planning Division recommends that any non-operative vehicles, such as the Tri-Valley Martial Arts school bus, be removed from the shopping center parking lot (included as Condition 13), as required by the Municipal Code.
