PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION N0. PC-89-67 RESOLUTION APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR CASE UP-89-33, THE APPLICATION OF SERENE CHAN WHEREAS, Serene Chan has applied for a conditional use permit to operate a veterinarian office and small animal hospital where all operations are to be conducted entirely within an enclosed building to be located at 243-C Main Street; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is C-C (Central Commercial) District; and WHEREAS, at their duly noticed public hearing of June 14, 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 purpose of the district in which the site is located. One of the objectives of the zoning ordinance is to ensure that public and private lands are used for purposes which are most beneficial to the City as a whole. This objective was modified and adopted as a land use policy for the Downtown Specific Plan, which emphasizes the need "to increase the amount of commercial space and to attract more customers", and "to increase the amount of office space to provide daytime patronage of retail stores, services and restaurants." As conditioned, the proposed use is a service that would provide a beneficial service to a community with domestic animals, and would contribute to daytime patronage in the downtown area. Because the proposed use would fill vacant commercial space downtown, the proposed use meets the C-C (Central Commercial) district's purpose of encouraging more intensive development in the central business district. 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.
