Resolution No. PC-94-35 Page 2 significant structures in the Downtown; revitalize the economic growth and health of and foster civic pride in the Downtown; and stabilize and enhance the value of property. As proposed, the landscape maintenance business would utilize the existing home as a residential rental unit and would repaint it to match the proposed new storage garage. The applicant is proposing to improve the property by: removing an existing structure in dangerous disrepair; removing existing debris; repairing and replacing property line fencing; re-Iandscaping certain areas; and paving areas subject to vehicular travel. A new 3,000 square foot garage at the rear of the property would house equipment and provide covered parking for the residential tenant, where none now is available. These improvements will enhance the value of the property. The location of a business on this currently under- utilized lot would add to the economic vitality and diversity of the Downtown. Other residential structures along Spring Street have been converted to office-type uses so this business, with its office component, would not be unusual for the area. As proposed and conditioned, the use would be compatible with adjacent office and residential uses. Conditions of approval require mitigation of any potential future nuisances which might be caused by the proposed use. B. That 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. If operated as described by the applicant, the proposed landscape maintenance business would complement, rather than detract from, the surrounding businesses and residents. The hours of operation of the business (7:00 AM - 5:00 PM) would be similar to those of other office-type and service uses on this street and in Downtown Pleasanton. Employees would be able to park on- site and out of view from the street. Clients of the landscape maintenance operation generally would not come to the office, so no increased demand for I. "
