conditional use permit related to Little Ivy League was PCUP-84, an application for a <br />daycare facility, approved in August of 2003 for 32 children at 4455 Stoneridge Drive, <br />the Pleasanton Community Church site. <br />Ms. Decker continued that the second action was PCUP-138, which was the original <br />request by Little Ivy League for a facility at 2340 Santa Rita Road and approved for a <br />maximum of 30 students, Monday through Thursday for 2.5 hours per day and Friday <br />for 2 hours. She noted that in response to an earlier inquiry by the Commission if the <br />program represented this evening to the Commission is the same as what was <br />approved per a conditional use permit, the answer is "no," based on the first conditional <br />use permit issued to Little Ivy League. <br />Ms. Decker then stated that a third action which should be noted is PCUP-143, an <br />application by United Youth Enrichment, a program very similar to Little Ivy League, <br />which was established under the first action earlier described, PCUP-84, at <br />4455 Stoneridge Drive. She noted that the reason this approval was under the <br />Pleasanton Community Church was because tutoring would not be allowed at this site <br />without an umbrella, which was the church. She added that as a result, the church <br />applied for a use permit as well as for an expansion to serve as the umbrella parent, <br />effecting the operation of the United Youth Enrichment as an ancillary use of the church, <br />for an after-school program for a maximum of 25 students. She noted that the church <br />operated its daycare separately for 32 children, bringing the total number of children at <br />the site to a maximum of 57. <br />Ms. Decker stated that at some point, United Youth Enrichment vacated the site and <br />was replaced by Little Ivy League under the auspices of that use permit, and in 2006, <br />Pleasanton Community Church vacated the site and Fountain Community Church took <br />over the conditional use permit. She noted that as a result, Fountain Community <br />Church and Little Ivy League were now operating under the same use permit of <br />Pleasanton Community Church and United Youth Enrichment. <br />Ms. Decker explained that use permits run with the land, and a similar facility can <br />operate at the site without any other entitlement provided it complies with the hours of <br />operation and number of children. She added that the Director of Community <br />Development may evaluate and approve a request for extended operating hours if <br />found to be in substantial conformance to the use permit; however, this did not occur at <br />this site. <br />Ms. Decker noted that in this regard, staff has provided the Commission with an a-mail <br />from Mr. Kevin Ho expressing concerns on the operations at 4455 Stoneridge Drive, to <br />which Ms. Soo has provided answers. Ms. Decker stated that this a-mail is coincidental <br />with an action by the City's Code Enforcement Officer who visited the site where Little <br />Ivy League was located to determine if it was operating under the original United Youth <br />Enrichment program's use permit of 25 students. She noted that the Officer found that <br />the facility was not in compliance, having about 50 to 60 children at the site. <br />EXCERPTS: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, December 10, 2008 Page 14 of 21 <br />
