PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC-97-30 RESOLUTION APPROVING THE APPLICATION OF ALMADEN RESTAURANT GROUP, INC. - PEDRO'S RESTAURANT AND CANTINA, FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, AS FILED UNDER CASE UP-96-82 WHEREAS, Almaden Restaurant Group, Inc. - Pedro's Restaurant and Cantina, has applied for a conditional use permit to allow music (Live bands and recorded DJ) and dancing, and to extend the hours of operation at Pedro's Restaurant and Cantina located at 5075 Hopyard Road (Site lA, Hacienda Business Park); and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is PUD (Planned Unit Development) - ICO (Industrial, Commercial, and Office) District; and WHEREAS, at their duly noticed public hearing of April 9, 1997, the Planning Commission considered all public testimony, relevant exhibits, and recommendations of the City staff concerning this application; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission made the following findings: A. 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 ofthe zoning ordinance are to: foster a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses, protect existing land uses from inharmonious influences and harmful intrusions, and to insure that public and private lands ultimately are used for the purposes which are most appropriate and beneficial to the City as a whole. Based on the applicant's statement of operations and conditions of approval, the proposed music and dancing and extended hours of operation would be consistent with these objectives. The site of the proposed use is located within the Hacienda Business Park's CPD (Retail/Commerical and Financial Planning District), which permits the uses of the City's C-C (Central Commercial) and C-F (Freeway Commercial) districts. Bars and dance clubs are conditionally permitted uses in the C-C and C-F district and are in accordance with the purposes of the zoning district to provide locations to offer commodities and services to the residents of Pleasanton and surrounding areas. The proposed conditions of approval for the project give the City appropriate controls to ensure that the use does not have any negative impacts on surrounding businesses and properties. The use permit for the dancing and music in the bar/cantina and the extended hours of operation is, therefore, in accordance with the objectives of the zoning district in which the site is located.
