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 site of the proposed Radayeva Music Studio is located in alight industrial zoned area and the multi-tenant building contains a mixture of office uses and light manufacturing. The regulations of the PUD-I zoning district conditionally permits trade schools. Staff believes that the potential impacts upon the adjacent uses are insignificant due to the scale and hours of the operation of the business. A condition of approval has been included that states that if land use conflicts arise in the futures, the conditional use permit may be referred to the Planning Commission for subsequent review and a public hearing. Noise The private piano lessons will be held entirely indoors with the doors closed. The applicant has already installed sound proofing on the common walls to address any noise issues associated with the proposed use. Staff believes that noise from inside the tenant suite has been adequately addressed with the sound proofing of the common walls to buffer the adjacent businesses. 'The hours of operation in combination with the private one-on-one lessons will limit the level of music being generated at any given time. Parking The parking area provides 35 parking spaces. Four (4) of the 35 spaces are in close proximity to the subject suite and additional parking is provided on the street, which is also in close proximity to the proposed location. Pleasanton Municipal Code requires that office use provide parking at a ratio of one parking space for every 300 square feet of gross floor area. The tenant suite in question is approximately 1,500 square feet in size. If office use were proposed, a total of five (5) parking spaces would be needed. The lesson would consist of the instructor and a student (adolescent students would be accompanied by a parent). As proposed, the private piano lessons would only require three (3) parking spaces per session to accommodate a parking space for the instructor, one for the student and one for the student transitioning into a subsequent lesson. Staff feels that parking demand can be accommodated on-site given the current parking space count and the appointment-based hours of operation. Staff has conducted several site inspections during normal business hours and concludes that parking spaces are available within close proximity to the subject tenant space and would not Case No. PCUP-154 Planning Commdssion Page - 3 -
