IV85 RESOLUTION NO. ?blb (Minute Order) OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CUPERTINO RED()MMENDING GUIDELINES TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR REVIEW OF NEW USES WITHIN PUBLIC SCHOOL SITES WHICH ARE NO LONGER FULLY UTILIZED FOR fJUBLIC SCHOOL PURPDSES_ Open space located on public school sites is a valuable community resource. . School buildings and facilities on public school sites are also a valuable community resource and sho" d continue to be available for public usage_ Traffic generation characteristics of new uses should -generally reflrct that of.previous public education facilities at the site. :arking should be reasonably adequate to ensure there is minimal spill-ov-er into adjoining residential areas. ,Hours of operation should be restricted to generally reflect' characteristics of public school utilization. Tull private utilization of the school sites i5 unlikely as the level of -activity wguld likely exceed that normally expected from a public school utilization of a similar site_ Plblic school sites were developed to accommodate activities devoted to the education of children which operated primarily during daytime hours, generated relatively low levels of traffic. and served community needs. Said sites typically do not provide adequate parking, lighting, security. etc. characteristic of _ommercial. industrial, or office facilities generally found in the=-ommunity_ Additionally, said sites are generally lx-ated within neighborhoods and the potential for significant off -site i-npar_14s is much greater than is normally found on commercial. office, industrial facilities located in other areas of the commun i t y . Permitted Uses and Architectural and Site Standards The General Plan land use designation for school sites is quite restrictive_ School sites are designated for public and OLIesi—public/institutional activities. A d Quasi--public/institutional activity is -a "designation applied 20 a privately owned property which involves activities sn:h as a private utility, a profit or non-profit facility that provides continuous tare for people, an' educational facility. or a religious facility {NOTE)- The Planning Commission is of the opinion that the allowed range of uses should be expanded. The Commission has asked City Council for authorization to conduct hearings to consider an amendment to the General Flan to allow greater land use flexibility for school sites. Planning Commission Resolution No. 2516 (continued) Arr-bAtectural changes to a leased portion of a school site should be in character with the balance of the site. 14 a school site is completely revamped. the building form and materials shall be in harmony with the surrounding residential community. Th@ use of iron bar,grill Horks and barb wire. or the boarding up of windows with temporary materials are generally not approved in areas +which are exposed to public view. Approval of a use shall not render•histori cal ly-used turfed areas unusable. Hours of Operation + i-iours of operation should general ly.be limited to the davtime hours from 7:,n0 a.m. to 7:tJ4J p-m. _Limit-ed everiing activity from 7:00 p.m. to-4:00 p.m. maw be! permitted when it is found that the activity.will not generate signifi=ant-amounts of traffic or annoyance to the surrounding neighborhood. d Noise i Noise from such facilities should rmt.be audible .beyond property 1 ines. Traffic in general. the traffic generation characteristics of non-public school activities should be consistent with traffic characteristics associated -,with a typical school use. For the purpose of this policy. the traffic profile -for a typical school „ site will be based upon the historical use of the site. Intl*fding non -school activities such as recreation uses and public service activities. The traffic assessment far a proposed norrschool use of a school site shall contain the -following elements: 1. Hourly traffic generation rate for the existing or formr_r school operation and ,the proposed uses(s) �. PDT (Average Daily Traffic) and peak hour traffic generation from the site. s. ADT and 24-hour counts of neighboring streets. 4. Trip assignments of existing and proposed uses. when traffic levels equal or exceed trip generation levels o' a typical public school use. use permit requests will be evaluated based upon the following: 1. Degree !to) which traffic levels-enceed public school generation. 2. Characteristics of existing and proposed traffic. Hours of operation. Planning Commission Resolution No. 2616 tcontireued) 4. Community. benefit from existinq and proposed uses. 5. Composition of uses. b. Sensitivity of neighborhood to traffic impacts_ A school site with access toanerterial, major collector. or minor collector street will have the ability to accommodate -a greater, intensity of use than a site served by local neighborhood streets.

The attached chart titled -Library Traffic- Summwy- outlines the results of the applicant's traffic counts. ?dditicmllY, data ' from r Cal Tian is 1nOO2m porated to oonfi the counts. 2. The Cal Trans data illustrates fairly larieymdatirra in the trip generation from the libraries sutrveYad- Since the Q4wrtim library is also a reference facility, the Cal Trans data may over -estimate the'activity_ 3. Staff assigned the highest trip 4enecation taCtaz ! : the worst case. Also, the A= figraes rase inflated by 15t to correct for traffic counts uhich did nat include trips attached to an -street parking. • The w=ict case is expected to egal app=a wtely 320 average daily trips to and from the tetparary facility. ;ty. 7hi s equals approximately 22% of current Library generation levels ((320/(1300 Y 1.15)) itnich is zntsjtly equivalent . to the reduction, in puA-lie area (3000 /14000 - 214). B. P=posed Plans EdSting Traffic levels 1. The attached use su%wary Chart adds the 320 trips t0 traffic generate& by the e3rict; g rases (5 C's Child Care and Sri Elementary school). 2. Total trips to the facility will equal approximately MO. 3. 820 trips are "assigned" to the Eaton Ebcili* based on trip generation levels for a public school _ 4. The Plan Commission policy on use of scboo3 SUPS (Resolution No. 2616) discourages activities which exceed public school generation levels. 5. Tine worst case traffic may exceed school levels by 160 AM (980 - 820) or 20% (160/820). ■ l AWlication 34-U-86 - 04exFino Library DATE: November 24, 1986 Page-3 - C. Nei9bbarbood Impacts 1. The Public Works staff provided crude estimates of ADTs on najoft3jlx� streets after the morning and evening peak hoes -]cases went into effect. 2. The ADTs are as follows: AM Pacifica 1500 Farallon North of John 2000 South of Jahn 1000 John " 1500 Suisun 1000 i 3. Tha 320 AM will be distributed to all of the neigbb� streets. Ztaffic may increase 10% -30% over existing levels an any one street. , 4. The 160 trip factor aver a public school use will xepX--&& roucgrly 5% - 25% added traff= cn any single street. D. Limitation on Uses 1. The multi pose zoo which the Library proposes to 0=3py was not as_mMed to be leasable space in the master use permit I-U-86. It was to be available .only far special events of existing tenants. 2. In a typical school settings a multi -purpose zoom would not generate traffic levels indgxmdent of school activities. 3. To maintain traffic gaxxati.o n levels as lov.as possible using the temporary period, the remoining Vacant close ro= space should not be available for lease (storage or l;re;ted aCt1.Vltles nay be permitted) .
