Planning Commission Meeting Agenda Packet 05272026

DMA, Inc. 4 Application Attachment 3-10-26.docx i. The first class is offered at 7:30 am; however, many students are scheduled later in the morning and end classes by 3:00 pm before the pm peak departure hours of business tenants or have staggered departures after 3:00 pm related to after- school tutoring, or offsite academic, personal fitness, work, and family commitments. ii. Site visits by architectural, land use consultants, and Fusion staff verified that the subject office building has ample available parking. Very few spaces are restricted out of the 1,335 total spaces that serve Hacienda Terrace. There is no history that existing parking demand exceeds availability or creates impacts on other tenants or public rights of way. b. Required Parking: Parking for a Private School is one space for each employee and one space for each four students in grades 10 and above (PMC S. 18.88.030). For 65 students (32 students grades 10-12) and 33 staff, required parking is 41 spaces. c. Parking Demand and Provided Parking: Maximum parking demand has been calculated as 40 spaces based on observations at other California Fusion Academies, and assumes all 33 staff and up to seven HS students will park at one time. (: Garland Associates, Parking Demand Memorandum, 3-10-26). Fusion will have lease rights to 41 parking spaces located within the surface parking lots to the east and west of the subject building with access from Hacienda, Stoneridge, and Gibraltar Drives. 7. Drop-Off/Pickup Area: Student drop-off and pick-up will continue to occur in either the wide drive aisles or non-reserved parking spaces on the east and west sides of the building. Pedestrian access into the subject building will continue to be from the east and west entrances into Lobby C. All ES and MS students must be escorted to and from parked cars and because no caregiver may enter the suite, parking takes place for a very short time period (Garland Associates, Parking Demand Memorandum, 3-10-26) . HS students may enter and exit without escorts so the parking by their caregivers is even shorter. 8. Arrivals/Departures - Access and Circulation Mitigation: The closest driveway access is either Gibraltar Dr or Stoneridge Dr. Ingress and egress continue to be recommended as right turn in or out. Caregivers and HS students that drive have multiple options and self- select the path of least resistance and less turning movements to enter the parking areas. The staggered schedules and spread-out duration of arrival/departure times are already part of the project description that effectively mitigates queuing, circulation, and access impacts to a level of insignificance. 9. Surrounding Land Use: The existing office building is isolated and buffered from residential and all other potentially sensitive receptors due to its central location within the 16.37 ac lot. Surrounding land uses are compliant with the HBP PUD, as is the Hacienda Terrace campus. There is no potential for incompatibility or unmitigated impacts of expanding Fusion Academy into a 6,341 sq ft combined tenant suite. 10. Ideal Tenant Space – On-Site Use Vs. Enrollment Numbers: Expansion will enable Fusion to meet increased demand for both matriculating, classes for credit and tutoring students : a. The combined Suite 100 and Suite 120 floor plan easily accommodates 65 students and 33 staff at any one time. b. Due to Fusion’s unique education model, Fusion can have more than 65 students enrolled, as not all students are onsite at the same time. c. Student and teacher/tutor schedules are staggered throughout the day. Each student has a personalized schedule that is tailored around their needs and schedules outside of school. No two students or staff members have the same schedule, which mitigates potential traffic circulation, and parking impacts to a level of insignificance.
