PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC-97-55 RESOLUTION APPROVING THE APPLICATION OF EDWARD KOHL, AS FILED UNDER CASE UP-97-35 WHEREAS, Edward Kohl has applied for a conditional use permit to construct a 780 square foot second unit within an approximately 7,500 square foot, two-story single-family home located at 1310 Galanti Court (Ruby Hill); and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is PUD (planned Unit Development) - NOS/LDR (Agriculture/Open Space, Rural Density Residential) District; and WHEREAS, at its duly noticed public hearing ofJune 25, 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. The request to establish a second unit within the existing residence conforms with the objectives and purposes of the zoning ordinance and the purpose of the Ruby Hill PUD. State law considers second units as a single-family use. The proposal will maintain the existing single-family character of the Ruby Hill development because the unit is designed as part of the home, indistinguishable from the exterior as a second unit. 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. Due to the limited size of the second unit, and its proposed use for extended stay visitors, traffic generated by use of the unit should not be significantly greater than that of a single-family residence and may even be less given the unit's potential for limited use under the current property-owner. C. The proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of the zoning ordinance.
