PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANT ON COUNTY OF ALAMEDA STATE OF CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION N0. 1553 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON RECOMMENDING TO THE CITY COUNCIL THE ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT FILED UNDER RZ-77-9 RELATING IN PART TO HOT TUBS. WHEREAS, the City has become aware tha-t hot tubs are becoming increasingly popular in Pleasanton; and WHEREAS, it was determined that these items are not properly regulated by the Ordinance Code of the City and questions have arisen with regard to their location in rear yards; and WHEREAS, hot tubs are not specifically listed in the Code and to date, have been regulated as swimming pools; and WHEREAS, because hot tubs are considerably different from swimming pools, this interpretation has caused hardship in some instances; and WHEREAS, the City proposed to clarify the situation with regard to hot tubs, and on August 10, 1977, the Planning Commission reviewed a draft ordinance which would redefine swimming pools so that it is clear that they are classified as accessory structures and to remove them as permitted uses in the R-1 and RM Districts, with the intent that they would then be regulated as Class II accessory structures from a siting standpoint. NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The Planning Commission recommends to the City Council the adoption of an ordinance amending Sections 2-5.30(a), 2-5.44, 2-6.13, and 2-6.24 as described hereto in the draft ordinance attached and incorporated by reference herein. Section 2. This resolution shall become effective immediately upon its passage and adoption.
