to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity. Staff believes that the keeping of the hawk, as conditioned, would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The applicant has received all applicable permits from State andlor Federal agencies and would be required to receive all appropriate City permits. The hawk will not be released, whether for hunting or exercise purposes, within the neighborhood or public park areas. T'he applicant will only release and train the hawk in designated areas. Both the hawk mew and the subject property are well maintained. Therefore, staff does not believe that the keeping of the hawk would be disruptive to adjacent neighbors or the City. For the reasons stated above, staff believes 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 proposed conditional use will comply with all applicable sections of Chapter 18.124 and Chapter 7.36 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code and meets all applicable standards. Staff feels that the recommended conditions of approval will help to integrate the keeping of the hawk without detrimentally affecting the surrounding properties and the City in general. As with any use permit, this use can be suspended or revoked if the conditions are not met. As conditioned, the keeping of the hawk would comply with all applicable provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. Therefore, staff believes this finding can be made.
