Resolution No. PC-2019-21 Page Two Section 1: Initial Study and Negative Declaration 1. Recommends that the City Council adopt the IS/ND prepared for the Project. Section 2: Findings for PUD-134 With respect to the Planned Unit Development application, PUD-134, the Planning Commission makes the following findings and determinations with respect to each of the considerations for approval of a PUD Development Plan as required by Section 18.68.110 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC): 1. Whether the plan is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general welfare: Planning Commission finds that the Project is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general welfare for the following reasons: • The Project would expand commercial uses within an existing commercial district in the City, allowing for more effective utilization of an already-developed property. • The site is adequately buffered from surrounding residential uses by major roadways or existing commercial uses. • The Project is compatible with the adjacent uses and would be consistent with the existing scale and character of the area. • Adequate setbacks would be provided between the new structures and the existing structures on the adjacent properties. • The Project would eliminate the existing internal drive aisle connecting the Project site to the church property located to the immediate south and install a loading space/zone for deliveries, which adequately addresses the church's trespassing concern. • According to correspondence from the Pleasanton Police Department, and a review of service call data for similar uses in the City, the proposed Project would not be expected to generate substantial increased demand for police service. • Because the Project would combine uses on the site (gas, carwash, and convenience store), and is located in close proximity to other commercial uses, it would maximize the potential for pass-by trips, which is a means of reducing vehicle miles traveled. • As indicated in the Initial Study/Negative Declaration, all potential environmental impacts associated with the Project would be less than significant. • Because the proposed uses would be conditionally permitted, the City could impose additional conditions on these uses if unexpected problems were to materialize in the future. Pleasanton, based on the entire record of proceedings, including the oral and written agenda reports and all public comment and testimony: ll install temporary 6-foot tall chain-link fencing (or other fence type acceptable to the Landscape Architecture Division) outside of the existing tree drip lines. The location of the tree protection fencing shall be shown on the demolition plans (if applicable), grading, building, and/or landscape plans. The fencing shall remain in place until final landscape inspection by the Landscape Architecture Division. Removal of such fencing prior to approval may result in a "stop work order." 111. PROJECT PLANS: The following statements shall be printed on the demolition, grading and landscape plans where applicable to the satisfaction of the City Landscape Architect prior to issuance of building permits: a. No existing tree may be trimmed or pruned without prior approval by the City Landscape Architect. b. Utilize best efforts to locate any new utility trenches outside of the existing canopy of the trees to be saved. If this is not feasible, the applicant shall submit a report from a PUD-133 Planning Commission Page 17 of 18 work is substantially complete, all areas are stabilized, and all hazards are mitigated to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering/City Engineer.
