PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC-95-46 RESOLUTION APPROVING THE APPLICATION OF CAFFINO, INC. FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO MODIFY THE SITE DESIGN OF A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, AS FILED UNDER CASE UP-95-36 WHEREAS, Caffino, Inc. has applied for a conditional use permit to modify the site design of a previously approved conditional use permit by reducing the length of the landscape islands and drive-through stacking lanes for a drive-through coffee/espresso stand located in the driveway/parking lot of the Pleasanton Village shopping center at 6700 Santa Rita Road; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is PUD (Planned Unit Development) - (C) Commercial District; and WHEREAS, at their duly noticed public hearing of July 12, 1995, 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: 1. 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. The approved PUD development plan for the Pleasant Village shopping center conditionally allows drive- through, take-out restaurants if they are located in a building less than 125 sq. ft. in size, their operation does not significantly block driveway aisles and/or access to parking spaces, and that their food preparation is limited to coffee beverages and the incidental warming of muffins, scones, etc. The proposed drive-through espresso stand would be operated from a freestanding building less than 125 sq. ft. in area. Food preparation is limited to the preparation of coffee beverages. As proposed, the espresso stand avoids the problems of noise, litter, etc., typically associated with large fast- food drive-through restaurants. Traffic is not expected to block driveway aisles in the shopping center.
