PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION N0. PC-89-60 RESOLUTION APPROVING CASE UP-89-21, THE APPLICATION OF SPIEKER PARTNERS WHEREAS, Spieker Partners has applied for a conditional use permit to operate a food market in Rose Pavilion, a retail shopping center located at the northeast corner of Rosewood Drive and Santa Rita Road; and WHEREAS, at their duly noticed public hearing of May 10, 1989, 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. That the proposed location of the conditional use is in accordance with the objectives of the zoning ordinance and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. The relevant zoning ordinance objectives include fostering harmonious, convenient, workable relationships among land uses, and to protect existing uses from inharmonious influences and harmful intrusions. The commercial district's purposes include providing appropriately-located areas for retail stores offering commodities required by residents of the City and its surrounding market area and providing opportunities for stores to concentrate for the convenience of the public and in mutual beneficial relation to each other. The use is very complementary to the Long's Drugs and Simon Home Center uses. Both are quasi- regionally oriented, not solely neighborhood uses. Both can exist and prosper with a market tenant for the third anchor, particularly if the market is also regionally-oriented. The entire center is potentially made more prosperous, "mall" shops and anchors alike, by the addition of this third regional draw to the center. The public frequently, and conveniently, combines shopping trips to such a market and the drug/hardware stores found at the center now. The center itself is designed to accommodate the market without adverse effects.
