PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC -2009-28 RESOLUTION APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR SNAP FITNESS, AS FILED UNDER CASE PCUP-247 WHEREAS, Snap Fitness has applied for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a fitness facility at 6654 Koll Center Parkway, Suite 355; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is PUD-I/C-O (Planned Unit Development — Industrial/Commercial-Office) District; and WHEREAS, at its duly noticed public hearing of September 9, 2009, 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 (CEQA) Guidelines, Section 15301, Existing Facilities, Class 1; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission made the following findings: 1. 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 City has allowed similar, yet larger, uses to be located in office, industrial, and commercial areas, e.g., 24 -Hour Fitness in Hacienda Business Park. Small-scale fitness facilities, such as Curves and Anytime Fitness, have not created any impacts on surrounding businesses in their respective zoning districts. As conditioned, Snap Fitness would operate consistent with the Planned Unit Development guidelines for Bernal Plaza, zoning district criteria, and the General Plan land use designation. 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 of the facility will be restricted to indoor use, and all doors would remain closed. As conditioned, the fitness center would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. Any proposed modifications related to the operations would need to be reviewed and approved by the Director of Community Development. The proposed use would not detrimentally impact the surrounding properties, and, therefore, this finding can be made.
