PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON COUNTY OF ALAMEDA STATE OF CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO, 2512 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE CHANGE AS FILED UNDER CASE R2-84-14 BY THE CITY OF PLEASANTON WHEREAS, the Planning Commission received a request by Robert Cordtz to initiate an amendment to the Zoning Ordin- ance to make bed and breakfast facilities a condition- ally allowed use in the RM-4000 District. Currently, the ordinance conditionally allows lodging houses and motels in the RM-1500 District only. The pro- posed ordinance amendment would establish bed and breakfast use but essentially expands the exist- ing lodging house uses within the multi-residential zoning district; and WHEREAS, at their duly noticed public hearing of August 8, 1984 the Planning Commission considered all public testimony, relevant exhibits and recommendations of the City staff concerning this application; and WHEREAS, bed and breakfast inns are found in tourist areas throughout the state but have not been seen in Pleasanton in recent years. They are becoming increasingly popular and will be the subject of land use applications in the future. As visitor serving facilities, they provide transient lodging with the convenience of breakfast but no other meals. They involve a tourist motel-like use but less expensive than either hotels or motels and are often owner-occupant operated in single-family homes. NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON RESLOVES THE FOLLOWING: Section 1. The ordinance does not specifically address bed and breakfast uses but the closest applicable definition is found under "Lodging House." Section 2-5.22(e), Article 2. Recommends that the code be modified to allow bed-and-breakfast inns as a conditional use by adding it to Article 6 as subsection 2-6.25(0) and dropping the phrase, "In the RM-1500 District only,..." from subsection 2-6.25(e). This would permit, as a conditional use, both lodging houses and bed-and-breakfast inns in all RM districts. Section 2. This resolution shall become effective immediately upon its passage and adoption.
