residents adjacent to the use in residency zoned property have opposed the granting of this conditional use permit and the continued presence of the nuclear laundry run by Interstate on health, safety and land use grounds; and WHEREAS, the opponents of the project provided testimony that truck traffic from the operation was disturbing to the residents nearby; and that warehouse type activities took place on the site including outside storage and delivery doors left open while activities were taking place inside; and that the facility created industrial level noise disturbing to the residents nearby. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: The City Council determines that it cannot make the findings required by Section 2-11.08 of the Pleasanton Ordinance Code setting forth the required findings for granting of a conditional use permit in that: The proposed location of the conditional use is not in accord with the objectives of the zoning chapter in that it does not foster harmonious, convenient or workable relationships among land users and does not protect and enhance real property values because of its impact on neighboring residential and corfanercial properties in that the warehouse type activities including outside use and storage, leaving delivery doors open while activities are taking place, creation of industrial level noise, and delivery by large trucks are incompatible with the existing and planned development in this area. That the proposed location of the conditional use would be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare in that the nuclear laundry poses the possibility of future accidents which could release small levels of radioactivity into the surrounding neighborhood, that some leakage may occur during the ordinary course of operations, and that despite the low level of radio- active materials kept at the site, the presence of nuclear materials in and of themselves give the appear- ance of potentially hazardous and unsafe conditions and thus have a negative impact upon neighboring residential and commercial use, from a local planning perspective. and therefore the conditional use permit cannot be approved. Section 2: Based on the above findings, City Council denies the appeal of Interstate. --
