PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON COUNTY OF ALAMEDA STATE OF CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION N0. 2780 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON APPROVING A USE PERMIT FOR KENNETH BEST AS FILED UNDER CASE UP-86-7 WHEREAS, Kenneth Best has applied for a conditional use permit to operate a vehicle storage facility to be located on an approximately 19.2 acre site located on the south side of Boulder Street approximately 275 feet east of the intersection of Quarry Lane and Boulder Street; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is I-G-40,000 (General Industrial) District; and WHEREAS, at their duly noticed public hearing of April 9, 1986 the Planning Commission considered all public testimony . relevant exhibits and recommendations of the City staff concerning this application; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission found 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.
