Resolution No. PC-97-46 Page 2 The Municipal Code lists some uses as conditional uses so that the Planning Commission may review them and apply certain operational conditions to those uses to ensure that they remain compatible with other permitted uses in the same district and area. The location of this use in a primarily commercial/office area and within the Downtown area is appropriate. The proposed hours of operation are similar to other restaurant establishments in the area and would complement retail hours of operation. Given the proposed activities and hours of operation, the proposed use will not impact surrounding uses, or residents across First Street. There will be more than sufficient parking to meet the projected demand and allow sufficient parking for other tenants whose customers would use the parking lot. Parking is easily accessible and the restaurant has been designed for barrier-free access. Standard conditions of approval appropriate for uses of this type to ensure that the restaurant/wine bar is operated and maintained in a safe, clean, and appropriate manner. C. The proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of the zoning ordinance. The City's Municipal Code permits the establishment of restaurants and bars (with a conditional use permit) in selected commercial areas. Because the proposed restaurant will be serving alcohol after 10:00 PM, the Municipal Code classifies it as a bar. The restaurant/wine bar will be operated in accordance with all the provisions of the Municipal Code as they relate to restaurants and bars, and will be operated according to conditions of approval recommended by staff for such uses. WHEREAS, projects of this nature are categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); therefore, no environmental document was prepared for this project. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission determined that the proposed Vineyards wine bar and restaurant will be compatible with the surrounding businesses and will not adversely impact other uses and properties. NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON RESOLVES THE FOLLOWING: Section 1. Approves Case UP-97-24, the application of Terry and Carolyn Yee/The Vineyards for a conditional use permit to serve alcoholic beverages after 10:00 p.m. at the Vineyards Restaurant located at 30 West Neal Street, Suite 110, subject to the conditions shown in Exhibit "B," attached hereto and made part of this case by reference.
