benefit out of it and it sounds like there could be for this neighborhood versus what it could be with high density or what it is with nothing there and ladders or chairs on rooftops, I think it's a positive thing that we're doing. Then one thing I want staff, the school impact fees are important to me and also the tax revenue to support the bathroom and the clubhouse if we decide we want to undertake that as a city. So I just want to make sure it's covered properly. But in general, thank you. I think we're closing it and we're not making any decisions tonight. The next time Ponderosa will come back is when they'll have a proposal planned to present it and then we vote on it and it goes to the City Council. Thank you all very much for staying late and listening. I appreciate it. Thanks to Ponderosa. BREAK The Commission took a break at 9:22 p.m. and thereafter reconvened the regular meeting at 9:30 p.m. b. P16 -1418. Zoning Code Update Work session to consider an amendment to the Pleasanton Municipal Code to: update and simplify the list of permitted and conditionally permitted land uses; establish a Minor Conditional Use Permit process for routine uses; reflect current practices, modify review procedures, replace out -of -date references, and undertake other changes to make the Code more user - friendly. Shweta Bonn presented the staff report and described the scope and key elements of the proposal. Commissioner Balch: Quick question about the noticed radius. So 300 feet is what we're currently doing for minor CUPs right now or is it 500 feet? Bonn: Minor CUPs don't exist in the code at all. For Conditional Use Permits we notice 1,000 feet because it comes to the Planning Commission. Commissioner Balch: Okay, I apologize. I don't know where it fits in. So with my beekeeping application, what was the radius that that was? Bonn: I believe beekeeping applications are also 300 feet or 500 feet, I'd have to double check but I don't believe they're a 1,000 feet. CUPs, because they specifically come to the Planning Commission, are noticed to a 1,000 foot radius. Commissioner Balch: So I just ask, the 300 -foot radius is basically consistent with what the City's doing at this level and then they have other level for greater radius is what I hear. Weinstein: So it's a new process, right, so we're trying to figure out what is the appropriate radius to send notices out to, and the rationale here is that these minor CUP projects are routine in nature. They have typically standard performance criteria we can apply to them to reduce neighborhood impacts and so the net result of that is that there shouldn't be a lot of spillover impacts into the greater neighborhood and to us that's what supports a substantially reduced radius from 1,000 feet to 300 feet; 1,000 feet for PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, August 31, 2016 Page 31 of 58
