V. PUBLIC NOTICE Notices regarding the proposed conditional use permit application and related public hearing were mailed to property owners and tenants within 1,000 feet of the subject property. At the time this staff report is being prepared, no party has contacted staff on the subject matter. VI. FINDINGS The Planning Commission must make the following findings prior to granting of a use permit: A. That the proposed location of the conditional use is in accordance with the objectives of the zoning ordinance and the purpose of the district in which the site is located. Objectives of the zoning ordinance include: fostering a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses; protecting existing land use from inharmonious influences and harmful intrusions; and insuring that public and private lands ultimately are used for the purposes which are most appropriate and beneficial to the City as a whole. The proposed after-school cultural enrichment program provides structured activities in an enclosed area. In the past, the City has allowed similar uses, such as structured small group tutoring sessions, in various locations in the city, none of these small instructional business has caused any land use conflict with other businesses in the surrounding azea. Staff feels that allowing proposed use if it is operated in a professional manner would be consistent with the above-cited objectives. The subject site is in a multi-tenant office building. Current tenants in the same building are office-oriented businesses. Given the nature of the proposed business, its operation should not interfere with other businesses in the same building or surrounding businesses' ability to operate. The anticipated number of students will not generate any unusual demands on the existing parking for the subject site or the surrounding properties, as sufficient parking spaces are currently available on the subject site. In addition, the condition of the approval requires the applicant to mitigate any nuisances that may occur as a result of the proposed use. Therefore, staff feels this finding can be made. B. That the proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity. The proposed after-school cultural enrichment program is compatible with other uses in the same business park. In addition, the subject facility is approximately 320 feet from Case No. PCUP-138 Planning Commission Page - ~ -
