PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC-97-25 RESOLUTION APPROVING THE APPLICATION OF TODD FUJINAGA/BONFARE MARKET FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, AS FILED UNDER CASE UP-97-03 WHEREAS, Todd Fuj inaga/Bonfare Market has applied for a conditional use permit to establish a convenience market, Bonfare Market, in an approximately 3.100 square foot tenant space located at the Vintage Hills Shopping Center (3550 Bernal Avenue, Suite 110); and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is PUD - C-N (Planned Unit Development - Neighborhood Commercial) District; and WHEREAS, at their duly noticed public heating of March 12, 1997, 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. Some of the objectives of the zoning ordinance are to: foster a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses, protect existing land uses from inharmonious influences and harmful intrusions, and to insure that public and private lands ultimately are used for the purposes which are most appropriate and beneficial to the City as a whole. Based on the applicant's statement of operations and the proposed conditions of approval, the proposed convenience market would be consistent with these objectives. The site of the proposed use is located within a PUD-C-N district. One of the purposes of the C-N (Neighborhood Commercial) District is to provide appropriately located areas for retail stores, offices, and personal service establishments patronized primarily by residents of the immediate area. The proposed convenience market would provide a quick and convenient way for the surrounding neighbors to pick up a few items since the larger supermarkets are not nearby. Furthermore, in that the shopping center has been struggling in past years, this use may help draw more customers here, making the rest of the retail uses successful. The use permit for the convenience market is, therefore, in accordance with the objectives of the zoning district in which the site is located.
