PC-2009-38, PCUP-259, KENNETH WALTON/NEW BEGINNINGS CHURCH

Resolution No. PC -2009-38 Page Two 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. Religious facilities are a common use within or near residential and commercial/ industrial areas in Pleasanton. The City's past experience shows that these uses make "good neighbors." Religious facilities generally do not subject surrounding uses to heavy truck traffic, hazardous odors, or other objectionable influences. If the recommended conditions of approval are complied with, the proposed use will not detrimentally impact surrounding uses. All streets around the site are designed per City standards to provide safe egress into and out of the site. In addition, the proposed use would have adequate on-site parking to meet the demand. Conditions have also been included that would require the applicant to mitigate any future nuisances as a result of the proposed use, including providing additional on-site parking. Therefore, this finding can be made. 3. The proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. The Planned Unit Development (PUD) approval conditionally permits the establishment of a church. Granting a Conditional Use Permit to the applicant would be consistent with the City's ability to regulate the PUD approval and related zoning regulations. Therefore, this finding can be made. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission determined that the proposed church would be compatible with the existing uses in the area. NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON RESOLVES THE FOLLOWING: Section 1. Approves Case PCUP-259, the application of Kenneth Walton, New Beginnings Church, for a Conditional Use Permit to establish a new church within an existing office building located at 4455 Stoneridge Drive, subject to the conditions shown in Exhibit A, attached hereto and made part of this case by reference. Section 2. This resolution shall become effective 15 days after its passage and adoption unless appealed prior to that time.
