As stated in the written narrative, <br />BUSC’s mission is to support the community and teach life lessons through the great sport of <br />soccer and now Futsal. As proposed, BUSC would offer programs to children, youth and <br />adults. BUSC has signed a 5-year lease agreement with Alameda County Fairgrounds <br />(Fairgrounds) to use an area east of the off-track betting building to set up three outdoor Futsal <br />courts. BUSC proposes to operate its programs from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday through <br />Saturday, except for a 35-day period during the Alameda County Fair in June/July and the <br />Scottish Games on Labor Day Weekend. Staff is supportive of the proposed use and finds, as <br />conditioned, the proposed outdoor Futsal courts operated by BUSC are exempt from CEQA <br />and would be consistent with the intent of the General Plan and objectives of the zoning <br />district. <br />
