PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC-2006-18 RESOLUTION APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR MARIO MONTALVO/ VISION FOOD SERVICES, AS FILED UNDER CASE PCUP-151 WHEREAS, Mario Montalvo/Vision Food Services has applied for a conditional use permit to operate a food distribution service with vending machine/food product warehousing in the existing building located at 5776 Sonoma Drive, Suite B; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is I-P (Industrial Park) District; and WHEREAS, at its duly noticed public hearing of April 26, 2006, the Planning Commission considered all public testimony, relevant exhibits, and recommendations of the City staff concerning this application; and WHEREAS, projects of this nature are categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission made the following findings: The proposed location of the conditional use is in accordance with the objectives of the zoning ordinance and the purpose of the district in which the site is located. The 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. As conditioned, the proposed use would provide a beneficial service to the community and fills an otherwise vacant tenant space, with minimal impacts on surrounding uses. The proposed use would be compatible in the building and, with the proposed conditions of approval, will operate in a manner consistent with the above-cited objectives. The suite of the proposed use is located in an existing building, which permits a variety of commercial, industrial, and office uses. Establishing a food product warehouse in this location would be in accordance with the purposes of the I-P zoning district to provide opportunities for certain types of industrial operations to concentrate in a mutually beneficial relationship to each other. The proposed conditions of approval for the project would give the City the appropriate controls to ensure that the use does not have any negative impacts on the surrounding businesses and surrounding properties. Therefore, this first finding can be made.
