PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC-96-86 RESOLUTION APPROVING THE APPLICATION OF PAM DANFORTH AND JANE PERKINS FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, AS FILED UNDER CASE UP-96-70 WHEREAS, Pam Danforth and Jane Perkins have applied for a conditional use permit to operate a massage therapy office at 1811 Santa Rita Road; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is Planned Unit Development (PUD) - Commercial (C) District; and WHEREAS, at their duly noticed public hearing of November 20, 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. 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 insure that public and private lands ultimately are used for the purposes which are most appropriate and beneficial to the City as a whole. The site ofthe proposed use is located in the Valley Plaza Shopping Center, which permits a variety of commercial and office uses. The uses for the subject building follow those allowed in the City's Office Zoning District. One purpose of the Office Zoning District is to establish and maintain in portions of the city the high standards of site planning, architecture and landscape design sought by many business and professional offices. Another purpose is to protect offices from the noise, disturbance, traffic hazards, safety hazards, and other objectionable influences incidental to certain commercial uses. As proposed, the business will not alter in any way the exterior of the office building so as to detract from its architectural features. In addition, the massage therapy use will not interfere with surrounding uses' ability to operate. The anticipated number of clients will not generate any unusual demands on existing parking for the building or the surrounding properties. As conditioned, the proposed use will be compatible with adjacent office uses located within the building.
