P20-0992 <br /> WHEREAS, on November 25, 2020, Lindsey Leblanc, representing Futures <br /> Academy, applied for Conditional Use Permit approval to operate a private school with <br /> more than 20 students at 4301 Hacienda Drive, Suite 120; and <br /> WHEREAS, zoning for the property is PUD-I/C-O (Planned Unit Development - <br /> Industrial/Commercial and Office) District; and <br /> WHEREAS, a private school with more than 20 students is a conditionally <br /> permitted use in the subject District, and requires Planning Commission approval of a <br /> CUP; and <br /> WHEREAS, the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental <br /> Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301, Class 1, Existing Facilities; and <br /> WHEREAS, on January 27, 2021, the Planning Commission held a duly-noticed <br /> public hearing and considered relevant exhibits, recommendations of the City staff <br /> concerning this application, and received testimony from the applicant and interested <br /> parties. <br /> NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City <br /> of Pleasanton, based on the entire record of proceedings, including the oral and written <br /> staff reports and all public comment and testimony: <br /> Section 1: Findings for Conditional Use Permit Approval <br /> With respect to the approval of P20-0992, the Planning Commission makes the <br /> following findings as required by Section 18.124.070 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code: <br /> A. That the proposed location of the conditional use is in accordance with the <br /> objectives of the zoning ordinance and the purpose of the district in which <br /> the site is located. <br /> Some of the objectives of the zoning ordinance are to: foster a harmonious, <br /> convenient, workable relationship among land uses, protect existing land uses <br /> from inharmonious influences and harmful intrusions, and ensure public and <br /> private lands ultimately are used for the purposes which are most appropriate <br /> and beneficial to the City as a whole. As conditioned, the Planning Commission <br /> finds the proposed private school would be consistent with these objectives and <br /> would create more educational facilities within the City. The facility would be <br /> operated to not impact or interfere with the surrounding uses in that the activities, <br />affic or parking study was not required for this project. <br /> However, the applicant would be required to pay the City Traffic Impact Fee for increasing the <br /> number of students within the private school. If unanticipated impacts are observed, then the <br /> application may be brought back to the Planning Commission to impose additional mitigation <br /> measures. <br /> ALTERNATIVES <br /> As outlined above, staff believes the use, as proposed and conditioned, would be compatible <br /> with the surrounding businesses and would not detrimentally affect the surrounding uses or <br /> properties and recommends the Planning Commission approve the project. However, <br /> alternatives to the proposal that could be considered by the Planning Commission include: <br /> 1 . Denial of the application. Such an action would preclude the applicant from increasing <br /> the number of students in the private school; or <br /> P20-0992, 4301 Hacienda Drive, Suite 120 Planning Commission <br /> 6of7 <br />
