PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC-95-75 RESOLUTION APPROVING THE APPLICATION OF JUDY MORRIS FOR A NON- EXEMPT HOME OCCUPATION PERMIT TO CONDUCT INDIVIDUAL MEDITATION AND STRESS RELIEF CLASSES AS FILED UNDER CASE UP-95-52 WHEREAS, Judy Morris has applied for a non-exempt home occupation permit to conduct individual meditation and stress relief classes at the residence located at 1174 Blanc Court; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is R-1-6500, single-family residential District; and WHEREAS, at their duly noticed public hearing of October 11, 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: 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. Chapters 18.32 and 18.36 of the zoning ordinance permit home occupations to be conducted in residences in the R-1 and RM zoning districts, in accordance with Chapter 18.104 (Home Occupations). Some of the objectives of the R-1 and RM districts are to protect residential properties from the hazards, noise, and congestion created by commercial and industrial traffic, and to protect properties from noise, illumination, unsightliness, odors, dust, dirt and other objectionable influences and hazards. The objective of Chapter 18.104 is to permit certain home occupations which will not adversely affect the residential character of the neighborhood and which normally occur in residences. As proposed and conditioned, the use would not generate excessive traffic, parking demand, or noise. Because of the small number of customers which would come to the home, the requirement for clients to park in the driveway, and the requirement for a fifteen minute break between classes, the use would be operated in a manner which is consistent with and incidental to the residential use of the property.
