PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC -2009-05 RESOLUTION APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR RIMMA RADAYEVA, RADAYEVA MUSIC STUDIO, AS FILED UNDER CASE PCUP-237 WHEREAS, Rimma Radayeva, Radayeva Music Studio, has applied to modify a previously approved Conditional Use Permit for Radayeva Music Studio located at 1228 Quarry Lane, Suite A, to increase the number of instrument and vocal instructors from one to five at any one time and to extend the hours of operation from 10:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m. to 10:00 a.m.-9:30 p.m.; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is PUD -1 (Planned Unit Development —Industrial) District; and WHEREAS, at its duly noticed public hearing of February 25, 2009, the Planning Commission considered all public testimony, relevant exhibits, and recommendations of the City staff concerning this application; and WHEREAS, this project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Section 15301, Existing Facilities, Class 1; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission made the following findings: The proposed location of the conditional use is in accordance with the objectives of the zoning ordinance and the purpose of the district in which the site is located. The objectives of the zoning ordinance include fostering a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses; protecting existing land use from inharmonious influences and harmful intrusions; and ensuring that public and private lands ultimately are used for the purposes which are most appropriate and beneficial to the City as a whole. As conditioned, the expansion of the existing music studio would be consistent with these objectives. The site of the existing use is located in the Valley Business Park, which permits a variety of light industrial and office uses. The proposed expansion is still a small-scale music studio as approved by PCUP-154 in 2006. The proposed Conditions of Approval for the project would give the City the appropriate controls to ensure that the use does not have any negative impacts on the surrounding businesses and properties. The granting of the modification of the use permit would still be in accordance with the objective of the zoning district. Therefore, this finding can be made.
