The layout of the tenant suite includes four activity areas, an office, a storage area, a foyer, and the program/instruction azeas. IV. ANALYSIS Conditional uses are uses that, by their nature, require individual review to ensure that impacts associated with their use will be minimal. Conditional use permits may be subject to appropriate conditions to ensure that any potential adverse impacts associated with the use will be mitigated. Land Use One of the primary concerns in reviewing a conditional use permit application is the effect of the proposed use on surrounding uses. The subject building is amulti-tenant building, primarily occupied by office uses. The immediate tenant to the north and south are office uses. Other tenants in the same building include a law firm, an insurance office, a chiropractor's office, and other office uses. The proposed after-school program is designated for school-aged children and it provides structured activities in an enclosed space. Staff finds that the proposed use would be a compatible use, as its operation would not likely create significant traffic/noise impacts upon existing tenants. Noise Staff considers the proposed use to be a quiet use as student would be involved in "quiet" activities, such as painting, poetry reading and appreciation, calligraphy, etc. As the floor p]an shows, there aze three individual classrooms within the tenant suite. Thus, activities could be held behind the closed doors to control noise and to help students concentrate and focus on the assignments. As previously mentioned, students would be dropped off after school and be picked up after the program. Thus, it is unlikely that student would socialize in the hallway or that they would congregate in the parking lot before or after the program, causing disturbance to the other businesses. In addition, the subject building is approximately 320 feet from the nearest residential building located on the west side of Santa Rita Road. Staff does not believe that the operation of an indoor after-school program would affect the residential properties. To ensure that noise would not be an issue, staff has included a standard use permit condition of approval that allows the City to review the project again to add mitigating conditions should any complaints occur due to the operation of the proposed business.
