PLANNING COMdVIISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAlvIEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC-2000-67 RESOLUTION APPROVING THE APPLICATION OF REUBEN BORG FOR DESIGN REVIEW AND CONDITIONAL USE PERIVIIT APPROVALS, AS FILED UNDER CASE PCUP-15/PDR-96 WHEREAS, Reuben Borg has applied for a conditional use permit to allow the operation of a retail fence sales business and design review approval to allow the outdoor storage of fencing materials and company vehicles, to allow the installation of new landscaping, and to allow miscellaneous site improvements located at 3878 Stanley Boulevard; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is C-S (Service Commercial) District; and WHEREAS, at its duly noticed public hearing of December 13, 2000, the Planning Commission considered all public testimony, relevant exhibits, and recommendations of the City staff concerning this application; and WHEREAS, projects of this nature are categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission made the following findings: The proposed location of the 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 general provisions of the Zoning Ordinance state that part of the objectives of the ordinance are to insure that public and private lands ultimately are used for the purposes which are most appropriate and most beneficial from the standpoint of the City as a whole and to safeguard and enhance the appearance of the City. The City's General Plan includes the following goals/policies: (1) enhance the appearance of the major city entry streets; and (2) land use planning in areas adjacent to City entries should be particularly sensitive to aesthetic considerations. Because the proposed use does not involve significant construction, the applicant has attempted to clean up the site, there is a need for service commercial uses, and staff has not received any complaints about the business to date, the proposed use and site plan is appropriate for a limited time period.
