PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON COUNTY OF ALAMEDA STATE OF CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. 1469 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVING A VARIANCE TO ALLOW AN INDUSTRIAL BUILDING AT 5726 SONOMA DRIVE TO ENCROACH INTO THE REQUIRED SIDEYARD. EREAS, J. Jack Bras, on behalf of Mini-Systems, Inc., has applied for a variance to Sec. 2-5.35, Article 3, Chapter 2, Title II of the Ordinance Code of the City of Pleasanton to allow the construction of an industrial building which would encroach into the required side yard of the lot located at 5726 Sonoma Drive; and REAS, zoning for the property is I-P (Industrial Park) District; and this case was scheduled to be heard by the Board of Adjustment on November 10, 1976, at which time it was continued to the Planning Commission meeting, pending review of the General Plan amendment for that site; and on November 10, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on this application and reviewed pertinent maps, drawings, documents and testimony; and the Planning Commission, serving as the Board of Adjust- ment, made the following findings: A. That the subject site is a part of a subdivision created prior to the adoption of the City of Pleasanton zoning ordinance and the width of the lots in the subdivision are narrower than the zoning ordinance currently permits, as a result the sideyard requirements, keyed to the size of lots currently permitted in the I-P District, would severely limit the alternatives available for developing the subject parcel. Therefore, the narrow condition of the subject lot would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other property classified in the same zoning district. B. That because of these exceptional circumstances applicable to the subject property, the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitation on other properties classified in the same zoning district.
