Resolution No. PC-2006-57, approving PCUP-180, was entered and adopted as motioned. 6. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND OTHER MATTERS a. Application for a major modification to the Ruby Hill PUD development plan to allow the construction of an approximately 19,716-squaze-foot event center with a 4,800-squaze-foot winery and for a conditional use permit to allow alcoholic beverage service at the event center after 10:00 p.m. The property is located at the southwest corner of Vineyazd and Isabel Avenues, south of Ruby Hill Drive, and is zoned PUD-LDR (Planned Unit Development -Low Density Residential) District. Also consider the Negative Declazation prepazed for the project. Ms. Decker summazized the staff report and described the background, layout, and scope of this project. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Olson regazding whether the project would connect to the City of Livermore facilities, Ms. Decker confirmed that it would. She added that it was part of a blanket condition that the City of Livermore's requirements must be met. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Peazce regazding valet pazking, Ms. Decker replied that the customers would drive into the site, and valet pazking would be provided at an on-site location. Commissioner Pearce noted that there was a small shortage of parking and inquired whether staff believed the on-site pazking was adequate; Ms. Decker confirmed that staff believed it would not be a problem. The valet parking would expedite circulation on the site, and pazking at the winery production location itself would be used. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Peazce regazding why a traffic study was not performed, Ms. Decker replied that at the time the Mitchell Katz Winery was reviewed, the actual hours of operations were off-peak hours (evenings and weekends). Therefore, the Traffic Engineer did not believe a traffic study would be necessazy in this similar use. There was an acknowledgement that there may be events in both wineries that may coincide, which led to the condition of approval that if there was an issue, a deceleration lane as well as a left-turn pocket would be provided. Commissioner Blank noted that he did not see a reference in the noise section of the conditional use permit regarding a particulaz decibel threshold to serve as a basis for revoking the use permit in the event the noise became a nuisance for the neighbors. Ms. Decker noted that staff did not wish to duplicate standazd conditions and that the applicants must comply with the ordinance. If there were cause for complaint above and beyond the ordinance, they would be able to call the City. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES October 25, 2006 Page 3 of 21
