THE CITY OF •.121 ttr LEASANTONC September 2,2021 Erica Jasso Sculptsations 560 Main Street Pleasanton,CA 94566 Re : P21-0820,Request for Exception to Active Ground Floor Use Requirement Dear Ms. Jasso: The City of Pleasanton Planning Division has completed its review of your Zoning Certificate application,requesting approval of an exception to the Active Ground Floor Use Requirement,to allow for operation of a personal service use within a ground floor tenant space at 560 Main Street. It is the determination of the Director of Community Development the use would not qualify as an active ground floor use,and the required bases to allow for the proposed use and grant the exception have not been met. Therefore,the application is denied. The August 5,2021 application, letter and building plan submitted in support of the request indicates the business would offer some sales of retail merchandise within the tenant space and states the business will be operating with a 25 percent retail section. However,the information provided has not shown,to the satisfaction of the city,the proposed activities would occupy a minimum of the first 25-percent of the total depth of the tenant space,as measured perpendicular to the Main Street facade.As such,the City finds the use would be considered a non-active ground floor use,and therefore the provisions of Pleasanton Municipal Code(PMC)Section 18.81.030 would apply. Pursuant to PMC 18.81.030, the Director of Community Development may grant an exception to the requirements of the Active Ground Floor Overlay District for any of the following reasons: 1. The tenant space has been vacant for a period of at least six months. Evidence of attempts to lease space shall be provided to the director of community development upon request.
