PC-2004-21 RESOLUTION APPROVING THE APPLICATION OF COLLEGE OF AUTOMOTIVE MANAGEMENT FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, AS FILED UNDER CASE PCUP-110 WHEREAS, the College of Automotive Management has applied for conditional use permit approval to operate a professional school within an existing building located at 4473 Willow Road; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is PUD-I/C-O (Planned Unit Development - Industrial! Commercial-Office) District; and WHEREAS, at its duly noticed public hearing of March 24, 2004, the Planning Commission considered all public testimony, relevant exhibits, and recommendations of the City staff concerning this application; and WHEREAS, projects ofthis nature are categorically exempt from the requirements ofthe California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission made the following findings: I. 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. Objectives of the zoning ordinance include: protecting existing land use from inharmonious influences and harmful intrusions; fostering harmonious, convenient, workable relationships among land uses; and insuring that public and private lands ultimately are used for the purposes which are most appropriate and beneficial to the City as a whole. As conditioned, the proposed school would be consistent with these objectives. The site of the proposed use is located in the Hacienda Business Park on a site designated as IPD, which permits a variety of industrial and office uses. Establishing a small-scale professional school in an office complex would be in accordance with the purposes of the PUD-I/C-O zoning district to provide locations to offer services to businesses and residents of Pleasanton and the surrounding areas. The proposed conditions of approval for the project would give the City the appropriate controls to ensure that the use does not have any negative impacts on the surrounding businesses and surrounding properties. The use permit for the school would be in accordance with the objective of the zoning district. Therefore, this finding can be made.
