accompanies this report. <br /> CONCLUSION <br /> The proposed changes to the Pleasanton Municipal Code are intended to establish <br /> performance standards, noted above, for cottage food operations that will ensure that <br /> such operators meet current City ordinances, standards, and/or requirements (i.e., <br /> parking, noise, etc.). Staff believes that the proposed Code amendments will have <br /> minimal impact on residents and will meet the State Legislature's stated purpose of <br /> these new laws (AB 1616 and AB 2297) to encourage small business development, <br /> provide healthy and fresh food choices (particularly in low income and rural areas), <br /> support community-based food production, legalize bake sales, and not subject home- <br /> based food production to the same food safety requirements as other commercial food <br /> producers.' <br /> STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br /> Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt a resolution recommending <br /> approval of P12-1753 to the City Council with the proposed amendments shown in <br /> Exhibit A. <br /> Staff Planner: Natalie Amos,Associate Planner,(925)931-5613,namos o(),citvofpleasantonca.gov <br /> See AB 1616, Section 1 <br /> P12-1753, Cottage Food Operations Planning Commission <br /> Page 8 of 8 <br />
