Home Owners Association and a number of surrounding property owners requesting a Zoning Administrator hearing. V. PUBLIC CORRESPONDENCE At the time this staff report was written, 25 comments were received pertaining to this large family daycare application (Attachment No.4, Exhibit C). The correspondences were in forms of phone conversations, e-mails, and a report. Staff interacted with the concerned parties and attempted to negotiate remedies to the issues that were raised. However, staff was unable to alleviate the concerns about the facility use, parking, and traffic impacts. Twenty-four (24) statements are from adjacent neighbors to the site, owners/residents within the development, or residents within close proximity to the development. The concerns ranged from the parking and traffic impacts, safety as a result of speeding, increased traffic, as well as noise. All concerned parties expressed objection to the request for an expanded facility at this location and request that the Planning Commission deny the application. A report was assembled by the Valencia neighborhood to explain and demonstrate their opposition to the project. The report is attached to this report as part of the public correspondences. One (I) correspondence was received in support ofthe application, which noted the need for such childcare facilities to be located within neighborhoods and explained the reality of the traffic and parking situation. VI. FINDINGS The Planning Commission needs to make the following use permit findings prior to approving a large family daycare home. These findings must relate to the specific proposal being made. 1. The location of the proposed conditional use is in accordance with the objectives of the zoning ordinance and the purpose of the district in which the site is located. - The subject site is in a PUD- HDR (Planned Unit Development- High Density Residential) zoning district. Chapter 18.68 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code (PUD Planned Unit Development District) states that planned unit development zoning districts are created to encourage imagination and housing variety (size and design) to provide areas for high density residential use and to be consistent with sound standards of public health and safety. The State legislature declares that large family daycare homes should meet other requirements specifically designed to promote the fire and life safety of the children.
