3. That the proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable <br />provisions of this Chapter. <br />The findings noted above have been able to be made in each of the conditional use <br />permits processed, heard, and approved by the Planning Commission with little or no <br />amendment to the then proposed conditions of approval. Staff proposes that certain <br />criteria be met and added to the proposed attached "Application for Zoning Approval" <br />that a small business owner would fill out and sign. <br />Staff believes that this Code amendment would expedite the review of applications <br />which traditionally have had little-to-no impact on surrounding uses, thereby improving <br />the application process for small business owners wishing to operate a small school, <br />tutoring, or recreation facility. Additionally, staff is proposing this Code amendment <br />allow these uses as permitted uses requiring an "Application for Zoning Approval," if <br />typical standard criteria are met as shown on Section G of Attachment 3. Staff is also <br />proposing that these uses be allowed in more zoning districts, where appropriate. <br />PUBLIC NOTICE <br />Notice of this application was published in the newspaper. At the time this report was <br />drafted, no public comments had been received. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT <br />This project is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) <br />pursuant to Section 15061(3), and it has been determined that the ordinance will not <br />cause a significant negative effect on the environment. <br />CONCLUSION <br />Staff believes the proposed amendment will allow for more locational opportunities for <br />schools, tutoring, and recreation facilities, help minimize impacts to neighboring tenants <br />and residential neighbors and establish an expedited review process for small business <br />owners which provide a niche service to the Pleasanton community. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council <br />approval of the draft Code amendment shown in Exhibit A. <br />Staff Planner: Robin Giffin, phone: (925) 931-5612 ore-mail: rgiffin@ci.pleasanton.ca.us <br />PRZ-37 Schools and Tutoring PC Report <br />PRZ-37, Code Amendment <br />Planning Commission <br />Page 6 of 6 <br />
