PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC-97-45 RESOLUTION APPROVING THE APPLICATION OF KATHERINE KLAPPERICH, FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, AS FILED UNDER CASE UP-97-23 WHEREAS, Katherine Klapperich, has applied for a conditional use permit to operate a massage therapy office at 1811 Santa Rita Road, Suite 222; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is PUD (Planned Unit Development) - C (Commercial) District; and WHEREAS, at their duly noticed public hearing of May 28, 1997, the Planning Commission considered all public testimony, relevant exhibits, and recommendations ofthe 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 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 to insure that public and private lands are used for the purposes which are most appropriate and beneficial to the City as a whole. As proposed, the therapeutic massage facility would not interfere with the operations of the surrounding uses and would not alter the existing design of the building. Due to the small scale and professional nature of the proposed therapeutic massage facility, the proposed project would be consistent with these objectives. The site of the proposed use is located in the Valley Plaza Shopping Center which permits a variety of commercial and office uses. As proposed, the business will not alter in any way the exterior of the office building so as to detract from its architectural features. The anticipated number of clients will not generate any unusual demands on existing parking for the building or the surrounding properties. As conditioned, the proposed use will be compatible with adjacent office uses located within the building. B. 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. The proposed therapeutic massage facility would be contained completely on-site. Sufficient parking and traffic capacity have been provided. Professional massage facilities tend to be quiet and do not subject surrounding uses to heavy traffic, hazardous odors, or other objectionable influences. The conditions of project approval will ensure that the establishment of this business remain within the standards of all applicable City codes.
