Item 6b Staff Report PLANNING COMMISSION April 9, 1980 SUBJECT: UP-80-5 ~~~~e\ APPLICANT: Bank of America PURPOSE: Application for a conditional use permit to extend the occupancy of the Bank of America office located at 6280 West Las Positas Boule- yard. Zoning for the property is C-N (Neighbor- hood Commercial) District. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Location Map 2. Site Plan 3. Photographs On November 13, 1974, the Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit to allow the establishment and operation of an interim Bank of America office at 6280 West Las Positas Boulevard. The use permit was granted for a period of five (5) years-from the date of occupancy of the structure and lapses on May 8 of this year. Bank of America is now applying for a new use permit to extend the use for an additional five year period. The reason for restricting the life of the original use permit is that the bank is housed in a temporary structure and it was felt that temporary approval would be prudent in order to encourage the bank to build a permanent facility once the office had become established. At the time of original submittal, the bank indicated that by interim they meant five to ten years. They are now seeking the additional five year approval. Staff Recommendation: Although the bank office is in a modular structure, it is not an unattractive building. Additionally, the use seems to function smoothly in its location. For these reasons, we recommend approval of case UP-80-5 subject to the following conditions: 1. That this conditional use permit is granted for a period of five years from the date of approval and that at the end of that five year period the use must either cease and the structure be removed or the bank reapply for a new use permit or submit a proposal for some other use of the structure.
