(There will be no need to change the zoning district classification. The site is zoned "IR" (Industrial Restricted) and such a zone does permit childcare facilities as long as it serves the adjoining businesses.) AMENDMENT TO THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT As previously mentioned, the Oracle campus was originally approved as a Planned Development Permit in 1985. At that time, the subject site was shown as open space to serve as outdoor recreational facilities for the office campus. Thus the proposed childcare facility would require an Amendment to the Planned Development Permit. Since the original approvals, the needs of employees have changed and both the company (and City) realize the benefits of having childcare on the site for employees. Not only will the facility serve the immediate need of its employees, but it will have secondary benefits. Employees will be able to cut down on vehicle trips to childcare facilities outside of Redwood Shores. Also, employees will have the satisfaction knowing that their children are close to work and can be readily picked up. TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP In order to accommodate the subject project, the applicant will need to subdivide the existing parcels and create a new 2.91-acre parcel. For this reason the applicant is also proposing a Tentative Map. See exhibits. The site will have all the necessary utilities and infrastructure to serve the use. The Engineering and Construction Department has reviewed the Tentative Map, and has recommended approval subject to the attached conditions under separate cover. PLANNING ISSUES Traffic/ParkinR There are several planning issues related to this project. They are traffic, net parking impacts, and open space impacts. A traffic report was prepared for the project and is summarized in the Mitigated Negative Declaration. The report examines traffic impacts on two key intersections (Marine World Parkway and Oracle Parkway - east and west) and concludes the proposed project would have a less than significant impact on both of the key intersections. Under Existing, Background, Project, and Cumulative Conditions, these key intersections are expected to operate at acceptable levels of service (LOS D or better) during the AM and PM peak hours. In fact, overall daily car trips will probably be reduced because Oracle parents will not have to ddve to off-site 'childcare facilities or to special events or mid-day visits with their children. The actual traffic report is on file with Planning and Redevelopment Presented below is a parking analysis summary:
