Resolution No. PC-97-43 Page 2 In order for this finding to be made, there must be a relationship between the unique site and the variance in question. The lot shape and development pattern restricts the placement of a new building at the rear of the property. The applicants' lot is unique and the granting of the subject variance will not set a precedent. 3. Granting the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The proposed storage building would complement the design and materials of the existing buildings on the site. If built to all applicable codes, the proposed storage building would not affect the health, safety, or general welfare of the surrounding area. The ample separation of the storage building from the neighboring structures mitigates any visual or air space impacts on these properties. The proposed building would also meet the FAR and height regulations of the zoning district, which are designed to control the overall mass and height of structures on a property. There is no knowledge of any specific opposition to the proposed building by the adjacent property owners. Therefore, the granting of the variance would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or general welfare or materially injurious to properties in the area, and staff is able to make this third finding. WHEREAS, projects ofthis nature are categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); therefore, no environmental document was prepared for this application; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission determined that the proposed storage building and monument sign will be compatible with the adjacent buildings on the site and in the surrounding neighborhood and are appropriate for the site, and that the variance from the Municipal Code is appropriate in that it will allow the development as proposed. NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON RESOLVES THE FOLLOWING: Section 1. Approves Case Z-97-58/Z-97-88N-97-03UP-96-86 and Z-96-257, the application of CSB Construction/Ray's Electrical for I) design review approval to construct an approximately 4,350 square foot storage building to be located behind the existing 3730/3732 Stanley Boulevard building and design review approval for a new monument sign, and 2) a variance from the Municipal Code to allow the proposed storage building to encroach into the required rear yard setback, located at 3724-3732 Stanley Boulevard, subject to the conditions shown in Exhibit "B," attached hereto and made part ofthis case by reference. Section 2. This resolution shall become effective 15 days after its passage and adoption unless appealed prior to that time.
