Planning Commission Meeting Agenda Packet 05272026

DMA, Inc. 3 Application Attachment 3-10-26.docx HS degree matriculation. The Pleasanton location is one of the Futures Academies that FEG purchased and changed its name to Fusion Academy in 2024. Fusion operates in many Bay Area jurisdictions including San Francisco, San Mateo, Cupertino, Berkeley, Los Gatos, Marin, Palo Alto and Walnut Creek. 5. CUP Entitlement Requested: Fusion requests a CUP to expand the existing private school and tutoring facility (as defined by PMC S. 18.08.440) into the adjacent first floor tenant suite 100 within 4301 Hacienda Dr. The requested CUP entitlement will permit Fusion to operate at an increased maximum onsite capacity that meets local demand for non- traditional education where ES through HS students matriculate for degrees. a. Occupancy: A maximum of 65 4th-12th grade students and 33 staff (30 teachers and 3 administrators) will be onsite at any one time in the 6,341 sq ft gross floor area created by joining suite 120 (4,266 sq ft) and suite 100 (2,075 sq ft). The combined first floor suite will be configured as follows: 18 tutor rooms, 3 admin offices, 4 unisex restrooms, 1 social homework room, 1 silent homework room, 1 teacher workroom, 1 art studio, 1 science lab, 1 reception area, 1 storage room, and 1 small closet. Only staff will use the common restrooms on the first floor; students will only use the ensuite restrooms. b. Limited Improvements: Proposed improvements are limited to interior TI to connect the two suites, continued use of the Suite 120 entrance from Lobby C, and change of occupancy for suite 100 from office (“B”) to education (“E”). Suite 120 is already E occupancy. Three additional single-use unisex restrooms will be added for a total of four ensuite. i. The occupancy change will include upgrades where required to fire life safety systems and fire ratings. The building is Type IA construction, and no additional fire separation will be required. No exterior modifications to parking, pedestrian, or other public area improvements are proposed. Hacienda Terrace is a fully developed multi-building campus with mature landscaping and well-maintained amenities. ii. The proposed 2,075 sq ft change of use will remain below the threshold to trigger improvements required by the PUD for new construction had there been additional habitable area or exterior modifications. The Applicant understands there may be traffic mitigation fees for increased peak hour trips. c. Project Site: Suites 100 and 120 are in a 103,927 sq ft portion of the three-building commercial office complex, within the 16.37 ac business campus known as Hacienda Terrace (“HT”). Hacienda Terrace is an amenity-rich office campus within the 855 ac HBP featuring campus-specific wellness amenities, a fitness center, café, and on-site monitored and manned security. d. HBP – A Renowned Mixed-Use Development: At the end of the fourth quarter of 2025, HBP accommodated 13,324 employees across 683 companies. This number is anticipated to grow as new developments unfold, and occupancy rates approach pre- pandemic levels. HBP’s residential communities currently have approximately 5,844 residents, a figure that is expected to increase to 6,400 with ongoing housing developments. 6. Arrivals/Departures - Parking Demand Mitigation: a. Parking Demand Overview: Fusion does not have uniform start/end times where all students or staff arrive and depart at the same time. Arrivals and departures also do not coincide with “standard” business-tenant hours of 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. Most students are driven by parents/caregivers and only a small number of HS students self- drive and park. Instructions will continue to be provided at orientation at the beginning of each semester regarding drop-off, pick-up, and circulation to prevent queuing back- ups in the parking lot. Hacienda is served by local public transportation options including BART.
