PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC-96-39 RESOLUTION APPROVING THE APPLICATION OF CONNIE HARRIS FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, AS FILED UNDER CASE UP-96-24 WHEREAS, Connie Harris has applied for a non-exempt home occupation use permit to operate an in-home electrolysis business located at 4787 Canary Drive; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is R-I-6,500 (Single-Family Residential) District; and WHEREAS, at their duly noticed public hearing of June 12, 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 of the district in which the site is located. Chapters 18.32 and 18.36 permit home occupations to be conducted in residences in the R-l and RM zoning districts, in accordance with Chapter 18.104 (Home Occupations). Some of the objectives of the R-l and RM districts are to protect residential properties from the hazards, noise, and congestion created by commercial and industrial traffic, and to protect properties from noise, illumination, unsightliness, odors, dust, dirt and other objectionable influences and hazards. The objective of Chapter 18.1 04 is to permit certain home occupations which traditionally take place in residences and which do not create the potential for changing the residential character of a neighborhood. The home electrolysis service will be inoffensive and unnoticeable from the exterior of the home, and the limited amount of clients will not create traffic, parking or noise impacts to the neighborhood. Furthermore, the Commission has previously determined that this type of business is acceptable in a residential neighborhood, at least on a temporary basis. 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.
