This we're kind of in with the Community Development Director basically doing similar uses —that I think is just the reality of a changing world. Beaudin: Just to maybe clarify how that's helpful with some of these really old PUDs. We have a lot of Planned Unit Developments in town and when they have that established use list, what you find is that even if a use is really clear that that's exactly what you're doing there, it's just not defined that way in the PUD or it's got an old term or definition and to have to, by strict reading of the code, come to a public setting and say that's what it is, is something we haven't been doing and we'd like to get clarified in the code. Commissioner Brown: I retract my reservation then, but with those types of examples, I'm good. Beaudin: Okay. I'm sorry. I was trying to find a fun example. My other favorite is doggy day care which is a great example of a minor use permit where you know, you have to have your dog on a leash, and you have to figure out the dog waste. There's a whole host of things that go with every dog day care application that you could probably, with noise and the right setting. So, as I think about other uses and things that we have to process in the City, I'm sure there will be a handful of uses we get regular requests for. Commissioner Balch: I have a perfect example for you. So, business park again. It's an old PUD, very old, as I said 40 years as I said earlier, and it did not have the trades; trades being HVAC contractors, electricians, general contractors, as a permitted use in the PUD. This is the Valley Business Park. As a result of that every application was basically a minor PUD modification Zoning Administrator action here, and that delay, although they have been trying, it just doesn't follow current logic when you think about that business park and what its intent was. It's a 40 year old PUD and those uses were not in. So what we did was we did a broad PUD mod, minor mod as I said, to add the particular uses in a group versus the a la carte as the applications came. So it provided a lot of knowledge as to how this is working for the delays that these people saw because you're an HVAC contractor, you just want to store your material there and go install it at a person's house in Pleasanton. You are not allowed, either because of warehousing, right, without a retail element or you're a trade because maybe you were doing a little bit of sheet metal formation work in the warehouse area. You're running 2,000 feet and you've got to go and get a minor PUD mod, you know, to get in and let's say it does take 7 day or 10 day notice period.... Commissioner Nagler: ....Okay, let me just ask you this in your example, where specifically— because it's following the definitions, right.... Commissioner Balch: I already found out it was okay. Commissioner Nagler: Okay, so how does this address that? Commissioner Balch: So on page 12 when it talks about light industrial, contractors is just listed as contractors. It's on the third line from the bottom, and then you go over to here right, and you say, light industrial —it's a permitted use. Done. Right? I did it correctly, yes? And its things like as a business owner or property owner, it's things PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, August 31, 2016 Page 50 of 58
