Exhibit A A. The proposed location of the conditional use is in accordance with the objectives of the zoning ordinance and the purpose of the zoning district in which the site is located. Objectives of the zoning ordinance include: fostering a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses; protecting existing land use from inharmonious influences and harmful intrusions; and insuring that public and private lands ultimately are used for the purposes which are most appropriate and beneficial to the City as a whole. The proposed site plan addresses both the church's needs and the neighbors' concerns. As conditioned, the proposed project would be consistent with the intent of the zoning code. The existing church operation has generally been compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and the construction of the education building and the multiple-purpose room, and the reallocation of the parking spaces for the Del Valle parking lot would continue to complement the neighborhood. The applicants will also be required to mitigate any future nuisances, which may occur as a result of the proposed development. B. 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. Churches are a common conditional use in residential areas in Pleasanton. The proposed development plan has grouped additions to the existing church facility and utilized existing accesses to and from the streets. As conditioned, the applicant is required to submit a revised landscaping plan, a landscaped berm fronting Golden Road, and an updated tree report, if necessary. The pattern and timing of use for the church is such that peak use periods occur on weekends, thereby minimizing any adverse effects on local traffic. In addition, the church has no plans to expand the existing preschool program; thus, there would not increased impacts, in terms of noise, traffic, etc. to the nearby residents. The proposed development will not detrimentally impact surrounding uses and will have adequate parking to meet project demand.
