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 Kolb property is zoned for a future senior care facility. Pending review /approval of a site specific PUD development plan for this facility, the stockpiled dirt would be used to raise the level of the rear portion of the Kolb property to match the grade level of Dublin Canyon Road. The location of the stockpiled dirt on the Kolb property is well separated from Dublin Canyon Road so as not to be visible to the public right -of -way and from Devaney Canyon Creek. The measures proposed by the applicant with this project, the conditions of approval, and the regulations of the Pleasanton Municipal Code give to the City the appropriate controls to ensure that these interim dirt stockpiles would not have a negative impact on the site or on nearby properties. Therefore, this finding can be made.
