Therefore, staff believes noise from the proposed bar would not significantly impact surrounding uses, including any nearby residential uses. Parking For property zoned C-C and located within the Downtown Revitalization District, the Municipal Code does not require any additional parking for a change in use. Parking for the proposed bar would include surrounding public parking lots and available on-street parking. Staff believes nearby public parking lots and available on-street parking would provide adequate parking for the proposed use. Should parking-related problems occur, staff has included a condition of approval which allows the Director of Community Development to refer the CUP back to the Planning Commission for possible mitigation measures. Police Department Review The Police Department has reviewed the proposed CUP and determined the proposed staffing would be sufficient to manage any security issues (Exhibit B) and additional security staff are not being requested at this time. A condition of approval would allow the Chief of Police to require security staff if future problems were to occur as a result of bar patrons' behavior within or outside of the subject building. Pleasanton Downtown Association The Pleasanton Downtown Association's Downtown Vitality, Design & Historical Review Committee reviewed the proposed bar on December 21, 2020. The Committee unanimously voted in support of the bar CUP, subject to compliance with the City's Downtown Hospitality Guidelines including the food service guideline. Regarding the indoor/outdoor entertainment and music hours, the Committee supported the applicant's proposal. ALTERNATIVES As articulated above, staff believes the proposed bar, as conditioned, is consistent with the objectives of the zoning district. However, alternatives that could be considered by the Planning Commission include: 1 . Denial of the application. Such an action would preclude the applicant from occupying the subject site and conducting the proposed activities; or 2. Approval of the CUP with modifications. The Planning Commission could approve the CUP, but with modified hours of operation, or other changes to the proposal. Staff is able to support the findings to approve the project, as proposed, and believes the project will not adversely impact any existing on-site uses or the surrounding area; thus, staff suggests neither of the two project alternatives above should be pursued. PUBLIC NOTICE Notices of this application were sent to surrounding property owners and tenants within a 1,000-foot radius of the site. Staff has provided the location and noticing map as Exhibit C for reference. At the time this report was published, no public comment was received by staff.
