PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC-2004-13 RESOLUTION APPROVING THE APPLICATION OF VALLEY HUMANE SOCIETY FOR DESIGN REVIEW, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, AND VARIANCE APPROVALS AS FILED UNDER CASE PDR-290/PCUP-87/PV-89 WHEREAS, Valley Humane Society has applied for design review and conditional use permit approvals to construct a new, approximately 5,240-square-foot one-story building and for a variance from the Municipal Code to allow a building setback of five feet for a 30-foot long portion of the proposed building, where ten feet is required, for property located at 3670 Nevada Street; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is PUD-C (Planned Unit Development - Commercial) District; and , WHEREAS, at its duly noticed public hearing of February 11,2004, the Planning Commission considered all public testimony, relevant exhibits, and recommendations of the City staff concerning this application; and WHEREAS, projects ofthis nature are categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission made the following findings for the conditional use permit: 1. 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 site of the proposed use is located in the Stanley Business Park, zoned PUD-C, which conditionally permits veterinary clinics with overnight boarding. The Valley Humane Society provides an animal adoption service for dogs and cats only, overnight boarding and care for its animals awaiting adoption, and educational services that would be available to the community that would be very compatible with the surrounding businesses and tenants in the business park. The activities of the Humane Society are sufficiently similar to the activities of a veterinary clinic that it can be considered consistent with this use classification for the business park. The conditions of approval proposed for this project give the City the appropriate controls to ensure that the use does not have any negative impacts on the surrounding businesses. Thus, the use permit for the Valley Humane Society is in accordance with the objectives of the zoning for this district. Therefore, this finding can be made.
