Resolution No. PC -2008-04 Page Two The subject site is zoned P (Public and Institutional) District, where a mix of office, educational, and recreational service uses surrounds it. Based on the proposal, the operation center is considered to be a quiet or quieter than the surrounding uses. The proposed operation center would not be disruptive to the neighboring businesses/ tenants. As proposed, there would be 67 employees and no on-site public contact. For these reasons, the use would not create parking or circulation impacts, and, therefore, this finding can be made. 2. The proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity. The use, as conditioned, would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The applicant would be required to receive all Building and Safety Division permits for any future tenant improvements and for the demolition of the existing generator. All storage would be located inside the building; activities would not take place outside of the structure. Thus, the proposed use would not be disruptive to other businesses/tenants in the area. Therefore, this finding can be made. 3. The proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. Chapter 18.124 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC) stated that because of their unusual characteristics, conditional uses require special consideration so that they may be located properly with respect to their effects on surrounding properties. Per Section 18.56.040 of the PMC, the P zoning conditionally permits the establishment of "public utility and public service facilities" if it is found that they are necessary for the public health, safety, and welfare, and the establishment of "public or quasi -public uses" which the Planning Commission determines is similar in nature to those listed in Sections 18.56.030 and 18.56.040. The recommended Conditions of Approval will help to integrate the proposed use without detrimentally affecting the surrounding properties and the City in general. As with any use permit, this use can be suspended or revoked if the conditions are not met. As conditioned, the operation center would comply with all applicable provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. Additionally, AT&T Project LightSpeed is necessary for public welfare, and the AT&T use of the site is similar to other public operations centers/public utility and service facilities within the City. Therefore, this finding can be made.
