Therefore, no additional environmental review is required; and WHEREAS, on April 24, 2019, the Planning Commission held a duly-noticed public hearing, considered relevant exhibits, recommendations of the City staff concerning this application, and received testimony from the applicant and interested parties. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Pleasanton, based on the entire record of proceedings, including the oral and written staff reports and all public comment and testimony: Section 1: Findings for Conditional Use Permit Approval With respect to the approval of P19-0008, the Planning Commission makes the following findings as required by Section 18.124.070 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code: A. That 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. Some of the objectives of the zoning ordinance are to: foster a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses, protect existing land uses from inharmonious influences and harmful intrusions, and ensure 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 Planning Commission finds the proposed tutoring facility would be consistent with these objectives and would create more educational facilities within the City. The tutoring facility would be operated so as to not impact or interfere with the surrounding uses in that the number of students, hours of operation, drop-off/pick-up procedures, and staffing levels would not generate substantial noise, parking demand, or traffic. for a 24-inch box size replacement tree; c. $800 credit for a 36-inch box size replacement tree. 78.

The bond or security may be released early with a certification letter by the arborist confirming he/she was present during said tree work and work was performed in accordance with the arborist's recommendations.
