PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC -2008-34 RESOLUTION APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR SHERMAN BALCH, SUPERFRANKS, AS FILED UNDER CASE PCUP-222 WHEREAS, Sherman Balch, SuperFranks, has applied for a conditional use permit to serve wine and beer in conjunction with food in an existing indoor recreation facility located at 5341 Owens Court; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is PUD -C (Planned Unit Development — Commercial) District; and WHEREAS, at its duly noticed public hearing of July 9, 2008, the Planning Commission considered all public testimony, relevant exhibits, and recommendations of the City staff concerning this application; and WHEREAS, This project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, Section 15301, Existing Facilities, Class 1; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission made the following findings: The proposed location of the conditional use is in accordance with the objectives of the zoning ordinance and the purpose of the district in which the site is located. The objectives of the zoning ordinance include fostering a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses; protecting existing land use from inharmonious influences and harmful intrusions; and ensuring that public and private lands ultimately are used for the purposes which are most appropriate and beneficial to the City as a whole. The proposed use is an incidental use to an existing indoor recreation facility where there is a food service area. As required by the conditions, the food service staff at the facility is required to undergo a training program such as TIPS (Training for Intervention Procedures) that is designed to prevent intoxication, underage drinking, and drunk driving. Based on the proposal and discussion in the staff report concerning land use, no potential adverse land use issues would result from the proposed beer and wine served at the food service area. Thus, this first finding can be made.
