• Modification to Condition 8, to have less restricted hours for use of the playground so that it could be used by the preschool when needed • Modification to Condition 52, to not specifically restrict the use of balloons • Modification to Condition 19, to not require the proposed monitoring and reporting for parking at annual-permitted outdoor activities/events during the first year of operation The Commission acknowledged the previous use and history of activities that had occurred on the project site as the basis of neighbors' concerns, and noted that there appears to have been limited consultation between the Chabad and neighbors to try and find solutions and agreement on the current proposal. There was consensus among the Commission that an additional effort should be made in this respect, before the Planning Commission took action on the application, and the item was continued to a date uncertain. Individual Commissioners, at and since the meeting, requested staff provide some additional information on similar applications and uses (religious facilities with preschools and daycares), including playground operations, distances between playgrounds and nearby residential uses; the scope of outdoor activities permitted; as well as additional information on outdoor events to be held at the Chabad. This agenda report provides the requested information; and, as outlined below, suggests some minor modifications to previously recommended conditions of approval, for the Planning Commission's consideration. The April 25, 2018, Planning Commission agenda report and attachments are attached as Exhibit B, and provide a detailed analysis of the project, which has not been modified since the previous hearing. Minutes of the April 25, 2018, Planning Commission Meeting (excerpt) is attached as Exhibit C. ANALYSIS As noted, this agenda report supplements the April 25, 2018 agenda report, and focuses on the following three items requested by the Planning Commission at the April 25 hearing: 1) Applicant's outreach to neighbors 2) Frequency of outdoor activities/events and use of the outdoor play area for the preschool at other religious facilities 3) Applicant's request to modify the staff-recommended conditions 1. Outreach to the Neighbors. The Chabad has scheduled a neighborhood meeting for Wednesday, June 20, 2018, at 6:30 p.m. at the Chabad of the Tri Valley. Staff was informed that notice of the meeting was sent to residents on June 8, 2018. Staff will attend to observe the meeting, and since it will occur after this agenda report is finalized, will report on the meeting discussion and any outcomes to the Commission at the June 27 hearing. 2.
