PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC-99-90 RESOLUTION APPROVING THE APPLICATION OF THE WINE STEWARD (JOE SASEK) FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, AS FILED UNDER CASE UP-99-53 WHEREAS, the Wine Steward (Joe Sasek) has applied for a conditional use permit to operate a wine store, and to permit holding seminars in conjunction with the proposed wine store and other ancillary uses located at 641 Main Street; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is C-C (Central Commercial) District and Downtown Pleasanton Revitalization Overlay District; and WHEREAS, at its duly noticed public hearing of October 27,1999, the Planning Commission considered all public testimony, relevant exhibits, and recommendations of the City staff concerning this application; and WHEREAS, projects of this nature are categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); therefore, no environmental document was prepared for this project; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission made the following findings: I. 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. Objectives of the zoning ordinance include: fostering harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses, protecting land uses from inharmonious influences and harmful intrusions, and insuring that public and private lands are used for the purposes which are most appropriate and beneficial to the City as a whole. Because the liquor sales would be limited to chiefly the high-end wine market, the proposal should not adversely impact the surrounding uses. The classes and seminars would be limited in size and held solely on the mezzanine level, so that the proposed use would be compatible with the neighboring businesses. 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.
