Resolution No. PC-2004-56 was entered and adopted as motioned. Chairperson Roberts advised that the next item was to make the finding whether the project conformed to Pleasanton's General Plan. Commissioner Maas expressed concern about the sale of alcohol and the close proximity of Shadow Cliffs Regional Recreation Area. Commissioner Fox agreed with Commissioner Maas's concern. Chairperson Roberts advised that Shadow Cliffs did not allow alcohol and that Express Liquors was located approximately three blocks from McDonald's. She advised that both Albertson's and Safeway also sold alcohol. Commissioner Maas noted that while she believed that people were responsible for themselves, alcohol sales should not be too conveniently close to Shadow Cliffs. Commissioner Arkin noted that the sale of alcohol at this store was not an issue for him and that 24/7 operating hours were appropriate. Commissioner Fox expressed concern about people buying alcohol and loitering in the McDonald's parking lot. She was also concerned about the sale of alcohol so close to the synagogue and the preschool. In response to an inquiry by Chairperson Roberts whether she had contacted the Rabbi, Commissioner Fox replied that she had called but was not able to speak to him. She ensured that they received a staff report; they had not received a notice for this application. Ms. Kline advised that the applicant had met with the Rabbi. Commissioner Fox moved to prohibit beer and wine sales as part of the Conditional Use Permit. There was no second. The motion failed for lack of a second. Commissioner Roberts moved to allow the Conditional Use Permit to sell beer and wine at this location. Commissioner Arkin seconded the motion.
