Resolution No. PC-2006-27 Page Two The Reznick property is zoned Hillside Residential and Open Space Districts. Seven residential lots are allowed by the zoning. After receiving the applicable City approvals, the residential developer would use the stockpiled dirt to grade this site for future development with single-family homes. The stockpiled dirt on this property would make efficient use of resources since the surplus dirt from the City water tank would not have to be off-hauled to a landfill or to another development site across City streets and, potentially, through residential neighborhoods. Furthermore, dirt would not have to be imported to this site when it is graded for the future single-family homes. Therefore, this finding can be made. 2. The proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which the conditional uses 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. As conditioned, the proposed temporary dirt stockpile would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare, nor will it pose a threat to surrounding properties or improvements. The proposed design and location of the stockpile plus the conditions of approval would mitigate potential impacts on the adjacent neighbors. A condition has also been included that would require the applicant to mitigate any future nuisances created by the stockpile. Therefore, this finding can be made. 3. The proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of Chapter 18.124 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code. The zoning of the subject site allows a temporary dirt stockpile with a conditional use permit. In addition, the proposed dirt stockpile complies with all relevant sections of the zoning ordinance. Granting a conditional use permit to the applicant would be consistent with the City's ability to regulate zoning as listed in the Municipal Code Chapter 18.124. Therefore, this finding can be made. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission determined that the proposed project is consistent with the appearance of the existing buildings in the area, and the conditional use would be compatible with the existing uses in the area.
