P24-0635 & P24-0636, 6622 Owens Drive Planning Commission 5 of 7 on weekends and evenings, outside of typical business hours for most office and commercial tenants. Staff believes the subject location is appropriate and does not expect the proposed use would create adverse impacts on existing and future surrounding businesses. Should future problems arise with Tri-Valley Bread of Life Christian Church, the City would have the ability to bring the application back to the Planning Commission for mitigation, or possible permit revocation, if necessary. Based on past experience with similar uses, staff feels that such an action would be unlikely. In addition, staff has included conditions of approval that will ensure Tri-Valley Bread of Life Christian Church would not generate noise, traffic, or parking shortages such that surround ing uses would be adversely affected. Therefore, from a land use perspective, staff finds Tri-Valley Bread of Life Christian Church to be acceptable on the subject property, as conditioned. Traffic and Circulation The Traffic Engineering Division has reviewed the project narrative and plan prepared for the proposed religious facility, and has determined the proposed hours of operation, planned activities and the associated number of congregants and staff would not have a significant impact on existing traffic levels. However, should the applicant wish to increase the number of occupants and/or alter the hours stated in its narrative, review by the City’s Traffic Engineer would be required to assess whether a traffic study would be required and whether payment of traffic fees and implementation of other mitigation measures would be warranted. Parking The subject site parcel has approximately 78 parking spaces shared between the tenants of the building. Staff evaluated parking demands for the church, and for the proposed ancillary uses such as the Sunday School, and concluded that the church function would generate the greatest overall parking demand; thus, this would represent the most conservative evaluation. Per section 18.88.030 (D)(1) of the Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC), the proposed use would require one space for each six seats or one space for each 60 square feet of floor area usable for seating if seats are not fixed. The applicant is proposing fixed seating as shown in the floor plan (Exhibit B). Based on this ratio, 21 parking spaces are theoretically allocated to the subject suite for fixed seating (124 total seats divided by 6 = 21 parking spaces). As noted, there are 78 parking spaces available for all of the commercial uses on the property, but parking spaces are not assigned to individual uses or tenant spaces. Based on the above parking analysis and recommended conditions of approval, staff believes the proposed use would not adversely affect parking supply at the subject site or surrounding properties and adequate parking exists on-site to accommodate all existing and proposed uses. However, should parking problems occur, staff has included a condition of approval which allows the Director of Community Development to refer the use permit back to the Planning Commission for possible additional mitigation measures to be applied (Exhibit A). Noise The subject parcel and building are in an area containing both office, light industrial, and commercial uses, and a certain amount of noise is expected. Staff anticipates the proposed use would generate interior noise levels comparable to and no different from those of an office, light industrial, or commercial use. The proposed activities
