P24-0291, 6455 Owens Drive, Suite 500 Planning Commission <br />6 of 9 <br />Sustainability <br /> <br />Program 2.2: Encourage the reuse of vacant and underutilized parcels and buildings <br />within existing urban areas. <br /> <br />Industrial, Commercial and Office <br /> <br />Policy 13: Ensure that neighborhood, community, and regional commercial centers <br />provide goods and services needed by residents and businesses of <br />Pleasanton and its market area. <br /> <br />Land Use <br />The subject site is zoned Planned Unit Development-Industrial/Commercial-Office (PUD-I/C-O) <br />District. The current PUD zoning permits office, commercial, R&D, and light industrial uses, <br />and requires CUP approval for uses such as gymnasiums and health clubs. Therefore, if the <br />CUP were granted, the proposed gymnasium would be consistent with the applicable land use <br />regulations. <br /> <br />One of the primary concerns in reviewing a CUP application is the effect of a proposed use on <br />surrounding uses. The proposed use would be located in an existing multi-tenant building <br />where the current tenants solely include office uses. The adjacent sites and buildings consist <br />of similar uses, but also include some commercial, R&D, light industrial, educational/tutoring <br />and daycare uses. There are no residential uses within 1,000 feet of the proposed use. <br /> <br />The proposed use is similar to other personal recreation/fitness uses within the area and in <br />other similar land use settings such as Valley Business Park and Hacienda. To be sensitive to <br />the other tenants within the subject building and the surrounding buildings and to ensure the <br />proposed use would have minimal impact in terms of parking and circulation, the proposed use <br />would operate by appointment only, have defined operating times that have minimal operating <br />hours that would overlap with other uses in the building/area, and have flexible attendance <br />times so not all clients would arrive and depart at the same time capped at a maximum of 22 <br />people on-site at any one time. Therefore, if the CUP were granted, the proposed use would <br />be compatible with the surrounding uses. <br /> <br />Should future problems arise with the proposed use, the City would have the ability to bring the <br />application back to the Planning Commission to specify additional mitigation, or possible permit <br />revocation, if necessary. Based on the discussion above, staff believes such an action would <br />be unlikely as other similar fitness-related uses are operating within the area and in other <br />similar land use settings, such as Valley Business Park and Hacienda, with no issues reported <br />to the City. In addition, staff has included conditions of approval that will ensure the proposed <br />use will not generate noise, traffic, or parking shortages such that surrounding uses would be <br />adversely affected. Therefore, if the CUP were granted, staff believes the use would be <br />compatible with the surrounding uses, and from a land use perspective, finds the proposed use <br />to be acceptable on the subject site. <br /> <br />Parking <br />As previously mentioned, there is one existing, approximately 28,000-square-foot, single-story <br />multi-tenant building on the subject site and a total of 108 on-site parking spaces. The parking <br />ratio at the subject site is one space per 260 square feet of gross floor area. Based on this
