one Christian holiday, Pentecost on May 20, and the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, which starts on the evening of May 19, and ends on May 21, that would coincide. In addition, staff has added a condition (Condition No.19) requiring the Chabad to monitor the shared parking lot to ensure no parking conflicts would occur during operation of St. Clare's and the Chabad. If necessary, the Director of Community Development could refer the use permit back to the Planning Commission for possible mitigation measures such as reducing the number of guests or students, modifying the arrival/departure times, etc. Tenant Improvements Proposed tenant improvements include installing partitions to divide a large room into three smaller-sized classrooms and installing two windows for classrooms on the building's north elevation. Although these modifications are indicated on the floor plan (Figure 2 above), the applicant did not provide a scaled floor plan and it was not possible during the course of staff's review to provide comments on whether the proposed improvements would meet required Building and other Codes and it is possible that other interior or exterior improvements may be needed. The existing building was built for and used as a private lodge for a fraternal organization. Chabad's proposal includes a preschool that would have an infant room and three classrooms for children aged two to four years old, which would have a different Building Occupancy Classification (per PMC 20.04.410.). Therefore, improvements to the existing building would be required in order to meet both Building and Fire Code requirements. One of the improvements required by the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department is installation of an automatic fire suppression system (fire sprinklers) prior to the opening of the preschool. Staff has included conditions requiring the building to meet Fire Code (Condition No. 34) and that scalable, full- sized plans, prepared by a professional (Condition No.13), be submitted for review as part of the building permit review process. Landscape Plan The proposed landscape plan shows the planting of seven new 15-gallon to 24-inch box sized trees and a variety of shrubs and groundcover. These plants would be planted adjacent to Hopyard Road, in the outdoor terrace area, and near the westerly property line. The plant palette shows four tree species and symbols; however, only two species are proposed on the plan. Staff has included a condition (Condition No. 26) requiring plan consistency. Staff has also included a condition (Condition No. 43) requiring landscaping be installed prior to the operation under this conditional use permit approval. Health Risk Assessment Given that the proposed play area and school is adjacent to Hopyard Road, which has average daily traffic of more than 10,000 vehicles, a health risk assessment was required and prepared by the applicant (Exhibit D). The report estimates the health risks that children would be exposed to from nearby sources of air pollution to determine if the health risks would be below the thresholds established by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD). The assessment determined that the play area and school would not be exposed to significant health risks from existing sources of air pollution and the health risk would be below BAAQMD's thresholds.
