The proposed location of the conditional use is in <br />accordance with the objectives of the zoning <br />ordinance and the purpose of the district in which <br />the site is located. <br /> <br />The site of the proposed use is located in a C-C <br />(Central Commercial) zoning district which <br />conditionally permits music and dance schools which <br />are similar uses to karate studios. The proposed <br />karate studio is in accordance with the objectives <br />of the Central commercial zoning district which <br />include fostering harmonious, convenient, and <br />workable relationships among land uses and <br />encouraging more intensive development in <br />Pleasanton's Central Business District. The <br />proposed karate studio would provide a physical <br />conditioning service to the residents of Pleasanton <br />and surrounding areas. Shotokan Karate-Do enforces <br />a strong code of ethics and values which will <br />positively influence children and adults through <br />building self esteem, self control, discipline, <br />responsibility, courtesy, and integrity. <br />Additionally, other businesses in Del Valle Plaza <br />could potentially benefit from the presence of <br />Shotokan Karate-Do in that they offer services and <br />merchandise that may appeal to the studio's <br />students and/or their parents. The conditions of <br />approval proposed for this project give the city <br /> <br />. <br />
