For the purposes of this Use Permit approval, an outdoor activity/event shall be defined as any outdoor activity involving 25 or more persons, whether scheduled or unscheduled. Religious events that occur over several consecutive days, such as Sukkot, are considered a single event among the 15 permitted annually. In its discussion, the Commission asked staff to provide information on whether similar uses had been conditioned to limit or define permitted outdoor activities. In addition to the approvals of religious institutions with preschools, listed in Table 1, staff reviewed several approvals for religious institutions alone, listed below. As shown, older conditional use permit applications for religious institutions, such as those for St. Clare's Church (approved in 1977) and Valley Harvest Church (approved in 1976) did not include details of churches' activities and operations. More recent CUP approvals (see below), such as for Crosspoint Church (2014), St. Innocent Church, Graceway Church (both in 2016), and Ridgeview Hope Church (2018) included detailed narratives of their worship schedules and attendance, church related activities, such as bible studies, youth programs, and other ancillary events and activities, but did not otherwise list or describe allowable outdoor activities, based on the location and site specific characteristics.

There have been no open code enforcement cases on Chabad nor is the City aware of any construction activities that require a building permit having occurred. 4. Modifications to the Draft Conditions of Approval As noted, James G. Schwartz, Attorney representing Chabad of the Tri Valley, wrote to staff citing several of the draft conditions impose undue and "draconian" restrictions on the Chabad. Rabbi Raleigh Resnick, the applicant, also raised some of these as similar concerns in his statements to the Planning Commission at the April 25 meeting. The conditions noted are listed below, with staff's responses in italics: P16-0288 and P16-1833; 3370 Hopyard Road Planning Commission Page 6 of 12
