Resolution No. PC-2021-12 Page Two addition, the technical studies identified no new information or changed circumstances that would require supplemental environmental review, and is consistent with the previously approved EIR that it is adequate to serve as the environmental documentation for this Project and satisfy all the requirements for CEQA. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission finds pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, Projects Consistent with a Community Plan, General Plan, or Zoning, additional environmental review is not required because there are no project-specific significant effects peculiar to the project or its site that would result from the proposed project. Accordingly, no changes to mitigation measures, findings, or statement of overriding considerations are needed. Section 2: Findings for Conditional Use Permit Approval With respect to the approval of the Conditional Use Permit (Case P20-0994), the Planning Commission makes the following findings as required by Section 18.124.070 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code: A. That 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. Some of the objectives of the zoning ordinance are to: foster a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses, protect existing land uses from inharmonious influences and harmful intrusions, and ensure that public and private lands ultimately are used for the purposes which are most appropriate and beneficial to the City as a whole. The subject property is located with the Rural Density Residential area which has the rural characteristics and follows the City's Residential District uses. One purpose of the Residential District is to provide space for semipublic facilities, such as religious facilities and churches, needed to complement urban residential areas and for institutions that require a residential environment. As conditioned, staff believes the proposed use is consistent with the zoning ordinance objectives and Residential District purpose because it would provide religious services to the community and would be conducted so as to not impact or interfere with the surrounding residential uses. The proposed use would be conducted indoors and is proposed to provide adequate circulation and parking to support the use. The applicant would also be required to mitigate any future nuisances that may occur as a result of the proposed use. B. That 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. Religious facilities are a common use within or near residential areas in Pleasanton. The City's past experience shows these uses rarely result in land use incompatibilities and are therefore not detrimental to public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity.
