Planning Commission Meeting Agenda Packet 05272026

DMA, Inc. 10 Application Attachment 3-10-26.docx B. That the proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity. a. No Detriment to Public Health, Safety, or Welfare: As conditioned, the Planning Commission finds the expanded private school and tutoring facility will not have a detrimental impact on public health, safety, or welfare, or be materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity. Private schools generally do not subject surrounding uses to heavy truck traffic, hazardous odors, high noise levels, or other objectionable influences. Fusion will continue to be a particularly small private school and tutoring facility and potential impacts will continue to be mitigated to a level of insignificance. The expansion is completely located inside a multi-tenant building and would continue to generate noise levels similar to the existing professional and medical uses in the building, since its teaching model consists of one-to-one instruction and small classroom settings. There will continue to be adequate parking to accommodate the expansion and the existing uses in the building. All streets around the subject site are designed per City standards to provide safe ingress and egress into and out of the site. Furthermore, if the operation of the expanded educational land use results in conflicts pertaining to parking, noise, traffic/circulation or other factors, a condition of approval allows the Planning Commission to determine if the operator needs to return to the Planning Commission for further consideration or additional mitigation measures. b. Not Injurious to Properties or Improvements: Fusion has an established record of operating in Suite 120 without complaints related to parking, circulation, noise, or loitering. The city and landlord benefit from diverse office park tenants such as Fusion, which reduce peak-hour traffic trips and parking demand otherwise associated with office tenancies. And, as hybrid and remote office staffing continues as a post-covid trend, attracting non-office tenants is of the utmost importance to the HBP ownership. For these reasons, the proposed use will not be materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. c. No Exterior Improvements: There will be no physical changes to the building footprint, habitable area, landscaping, driveways, pedestrian paths of travel, parking layouts, or vehicular circulation. d. Expansion of Operationally Perfected Safety Protocols: Parking and access policies for safe ingress, egress, and pedestrian travel are provided to students and caregivers. Staggered student and staff schedules and spread-out arrival and departure times effectively mitigate potential impacts of queuing, circulation, and parking demand to a level of insignificance. Visitation is by appointment only. All students and staff must continue to enter the expanded conjoined suite with key card access, and stopping at the existing reception area. Additional safety procedures to remain and be expanded include daily sign-in procedures, closed-circuit monitoring, and scheduled emergency drills, including earthquake, fire, shelter-in-place, and evacuation. The one-to-one staff to student teaching ensures that ES and MS students can be safely evacuated from the building in the care of a staff member. Based on these measures that will be sized up for the conjoined suite and operations, the expansion of this local-serving educational land use will not be detrimental to public health, safety, or welfare. e. As such, the Commission concludes this finding can be made.
