Resolution No. PC-2004-l5 Page Two 2. 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. The subject lot has been used as an outdoor vehicle storage yard since the East Bay Automotive Company purchased the property in late 1990, and no complaints have been received concerning its operation. The traffic to and from the subject lot would not impact the surrounding businesses, given that the regular delivery hours are early in the morning. Additionally, with the distance from the subject site and other commercial buildings in between to function as a buffer, trucks traveling on Old Santa Rita Road and unloading nine vehicles would not disturb the residents who reside at least 400 feet from the subject lot. However, in the event that any concerns regarding traffic, circulation, and noise are raised, a condition of approval has been added recommending that the vehicle delivery schedule be changed. To provide necessary security to the lot, new lighting would be installed. To ensure that light spill would be controlled, a condition requires that the lighting system be revised to lower the height of the light pole or to adjust the light fixture, or both, so that no light spill would occur onto adjacent properties. The curb-to-curb width on Old Santa Rita Road is 64 feet; thus, delivery trucks traveling on Old Santa Rita should not impact the use of the street for adjacent businesses. In addition, a new sidewalk would be installed along the Old Santa Rita Road frontage, which would provide a safer environment to the public. Thus, the proposed use will not be detrimental to the public safety and general welfare, and this finding can be made with the proposed conditions of approval. 3. The proposed conditional use will comply with each ofthe applicable provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. As conditioned, the proposed use will comply with all provisions and requirements of the City's zoning ordinance. As with any conditional use permit, the use permit may be suspended or revoked if the conditions are not met. Therefore, this finding can be made with the proposed conditions of approval. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission determined that the proposed conditional use would be compatible with the existing uses in the area. NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON RESOLVES THE FOLLOWING: Section 1. Approves Case PCUP-I07/PDR-349, the application of Michael Zucker & Associates/Hendrick Automotive Group for conditional use permit and design review approvals to operate an outdoor vehicle storage yard for the property located at 3744 Old Santa Rita Road, subject to the conditions shown in Exhibit "B," attached hereto and made part of this case by reference.
