PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC-96-04 RESOLUTION APPROVING THE APPLICATION OF SYLVIA D'ANGELO FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO OPERATE A SECOND HAND STORE, AS FILED UNDER CASE UP-95-75 WHEREAS, Sylvia D'Angelo has applied for a conditional use permit to operate a second hand store at 3876 Old Santa Rita Road; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is PUD (Planned Unit Development) - Commercial Service District; and WHEREAS, at their duly notice public hearing of January 24, 1996, the Planning Commission considered all public testimony, relevant exhibits, and recommendations of the 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 ofthe 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 ensure that public and private lands ultimately are used for the purpose which are most appropriate and beneficial to the City as a whole. The C-S District is intended to provide sites for businesses typically not found in shopping centers and having little or no pedestrian traffic. The proposed business would be in keeping with the purposes of the Zoning Ordinance and C-S District because ofthe following: 1.) The business would be conducted entirely within the subject structure; 2.) Given the small size of the structure (approximately 1040 sq. ft.) which limits the amount of inventory, the expected amount of trips to and from the business would be low; 3.) The amount of existing off-street parking exceeds the minimum required by the Zoning Ordinance; 4.) All deliveries to the store would be made on an appointment basis when an employee is present and not "dropped off' or left outside of the store; and 5.) The operation would generate little or no truck traffic because each delivery is limited to 20 items. -."
