3. PUBLIC HEARING MATTER a. P12 -0113, Angela Joe - Willmes and Linda Martin, Appellants (Kathy Wooley /Harris French & Associates, for WalMart Neighborhood Market, Applicant) Appeal of the Zoning Administrator's (in this case the Community Development Director's) approval of a Zoning Certificate to operate a supermarket as a permitted use at 3112 Santa Rita Road within the hours of operation and delivery limits as set forth in the existing Conditions of Approval for PUD -84-4 (Ordinances Nos. 1035, 1165 and 1214 and Planning Commission Resolution No. 2691). Zoning for the property is PUD -C -O (Planned Unit Development — Commercial - Office) District. Natalie Amos presented the staff report and described the scope, layout, and key elements of the application. Commissioner Blank pointed out that a pharmacy is on the list of uses allowed at this market and inquired if the application includes a drug store. Ms. Amos said yes. She explained that a pharmacy is considered an ancillary use based on how the applicant described it in its narrative and on the floor plan. She added that drug stores and prescription pharmacies are permitted as a conditional use, and since it is considered an ancillary use, it can be bundled together with food markets. Brian Dolan stated that it is important to note that drug stores and prescription pharmacies are also an allowed use. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Ms. Amos noted that the Appellants, Mss. Angela Joe - Wilmes and Linda Martin or their representatives were not present. Dorothy Anderson, project site property owner, stated that she is the owner of the property under discussion. She indicated that Nob Hill was a very successful market for several years and that she was devastated when it decided not to renew its lease. She noted that, nonetheless, she continued to receive a large property tax bill for this property for two years while it remained vacant and paid the taxes, which in turn paid for City schools and government; hence, she feels that she owns a little bit of Pleasanton too. Ms. Anderson stated that she was very delighted when somebody finally came to her with an offer to lease the property. She indicated that they had been working hard since 2010 to get a new tenant in the property, and they felt fortunate when somebody came along to rent to operate a grocery store. She noted that Neighborhood Market is not a big box; it is 33,000 square square feet, the size of an average grocery store. She PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, March 19, 2012 Page 2 of 15
