PLAmrINQ COMJfISSION CITY OP PL2ASAHTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CAL:IFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC-91-84 RESOLUTION APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AS FILED UNDER CASE UP-91-67 FOR HARVEST VALLEY CHRISTIAN CHURCH WHEREAS, Harvest Valley Christian Church has applied for a conditional use permit to operate a church and related facilities (including evening meetings and weekend worship services) in an existing office/light industrial complex located at l03l Serpentine Lane (Valley Business Park); and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is PUD (Planned Unit Development) - Industrial District; and WHEREAS, at their duly noticed public hearing of November l3, 1991, 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. The primary purpose of the PUD for Valley Business Park is to provide adequate space for light industrial and related uses. Churches are conditionally allowed in the PUD since worship services and other primary elements of the use generally occur during "non-business hours" (relative to most other uses in the business park) and would not interfere with surrounding uses. Furthermore, the use of business parks as a location for churches helps to fulfill the General Plan goal of creating a well-rounded community with adequate facilities to serve residents. The proliferation of churches in light industrial areas should not become a problem inasmuch as it is the city's policy to condition approvals such that they become null and void once a church has vacated a site for more than 90 days. B. 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.
