applicant's peak parking demand would occur during the evening hours, when parking demand for this lot is reduced. Additionally, staff feels that the on-street parking spaces along or east of Peters Avenue would accommodate any additional parking needed for this use. Staff believes that the combination of the public parking lot and on-street parking along or east of Peters Avenue would provide adequate parking for the proposed use and minimize the chances of patrons parking in front of the residences west of Peters Avenue, especially late at night when the residents west of Peters Avenue would be more sensitive to noise. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS Please refer to pages 8-9 of the attached Planning Commission staff report for the conditional use permit findings. PUBLIC NOTICE Notices regarding the proposed conditional use permit application and related public hearing were mailed to property owners and tenants within 1,000 ft. of the subject property. Prior to the Planning Commission hearing, staff received several emails (attached) from residents and/or patrons supporting or opposing the application. At the time this report was written, staff has received two additional emails in support of the proposed use. The application was referred to thc Do~vntown Vitality Committee of the Pleasanton Downtown Association (PDA). The Committee passed a motion supporting the proposed use (the PDA's letter is attached to the Planning Commission staff report). The PDA has further indicated its desire to have businesses stay open later on Main Street and on the side streets for at least one half block from Main Street to create a "night life" Downtown and that side street development is essential to achieving the critical mass necessary for a successful Downtown. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Projects of this nature are categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Therefore, no environmental document accompanies this report. FISCAL IMPACT The business would generate sales tax revenue. The applicant would also have to pay water and sewer fees for the City water it uses and the sewage it generates. By virtue of people coming to the restaurant/bar, there would be emergency response requests for City police and fire services. Although there would be some City service costs associated with emergency response requests, the costs are unknown, but probably minor. Overall, staff believes that approval of the conditional use permit will have little or no fiscal impact on the City. SR:05:023 Page 8
