The Planning Commission (5-0 vote) determined that the proposed service station is consistent with the Pleasanton General Plan and the Bernal Property Specific Plan; that the service station's design and operation is appropriate for this City entryway; and that the service station would be compatible with the surrounding area and the uses within the Pleasanton Gateway development. The combination of proposed project's visual quality and functionality of the site plan, combined with community requests for a service station at this location, convinces staff to revise its previous position and to recommend the proposed service station as part of the Pleasanton Gateway development on this City entryway. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION Recommend approval of the Major Modification of the Pleasanton Gateway PUD Development Plan, subject to the conditions shown in Exhibit A (Attachment #1); recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit, subject to the conditions shown in Exhibit B (Attachment #2), and recommend approval of the Sign Design Review for the building and monument signs, subject to the conditions shown in Exhibit C (Attachment #3).
