( (. One of the primary concerns in reviewing a condil:ional use permit application is the effect of the proposed use on surrounding uses. As stated eazlie:r, the subject site is surrounded by commercial/office/light industrial uses to the east and south, and residential uses to the north and west, across from Stoneridge Drive and Santa Rita Road. Staff is unawaze of any land use problems associated with the Pleasanton Community Church during the past 15 yeazs of operation at the subject: site and believes the church's use of the property to be appropriate. The church already has a Sunday school program and evening bible sessions since the use permit approval in 1988 without any apparent adverse impacts on the businesses within the same office center, or businesses and residents in the surrounding azea; no complaints have been reported to the City. Given that all activities would be held inside the building, that the enrollment would be limited to 32 students at one time, that the daycaze would operate only 13.75 hours per week, and that school students would be transported in vans from school(s) to the daycare location, the proposed use is not expected to generate any significant impacts to other businesses either in the same office center or in the surrounding azeas. In addition, the Santa Rita Office Center Owners Association has unanimously supported the proposed after school daycare program if it is operated completely inside the existing building. The existing building is primazily being used as an office building. The proposed after school daycare program would change the use of the building, which may, as a result, require modifications to the existing building per Building Code requirements. Recommended conditions of approval require that the applicant submit plans of the daycare facility to the Building Department for review and approval, and obtain necessary permits. Noise The subject office complex is located on the southE;ast comer of Stoneridge Drive and Santa Rita Road. The neazest residences are located approximately 350 feet east of the church's education building at 4455 Stoneridge Drive, sepazated by a ltazking lot, Santa Rita Road, and the Alameda County Transportation Corridor. The nearest residence to the north is approximately 500 feet from the subject building and is sepazated by Stoneridge Drive and other office buildings. Noise impacts to these residences will not be an issue since all activities would occur indoors and since the operation of the facility would be limited to late; afternoon hours. The applicant indicated that children would spend a lazge part of the after school hours working on structured activities and any "noisy" activities may occur when there is a group activity held in the activity room. In addition, the school children would be entering the building through the building southern entrance, which is further away from other buildings in the same office center. Based on the applicant's description of classroom instructions and activities and a site visit to the subject location, staff believes that it is unlikely that the noise generated from the after school activities would impact the businesses in the same office center or adjacent businesses.
