PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OP PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIPORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC-93-19 RESOLUTION APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AS PILED UNDER CASE UP-93-l1 FOR DAVID BOHLKE WHEREAS, David Bohlke has applied for a conditional use permit to establish a karate school within a portion of an existing commercial building located at 4341 Railroad Avenue; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is C-C (Central Commercial) - Core Area Overlay District, Downtown Revitalization District; and WHEREAS, at their duly noticed public hearing of April 28, 1993, the Planning commission considered all public testimony, relevant exhibits and recommendations of the city staff concerning this application; and WHEREAS, the Planning commission made the following findings: 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. Downtown Pleasanton is zoned for "Central Commercial II-type uses, which include conditional uses such as dance and music studios and, by interpretation, martial arts studios, as long as it can be found that such uses will not generate adverse impacts on surrounding properties and businesses. The use also would be consistent with the objectives for Downtown to include uses which offer a variety of services to the community. The proposed karate studio provides a physical conditioning service and lessons which would be available to residents in and around the Downtown area. The building would be improved and the studio operated in such a manner as to be compatible with the other tenant(s) in the building, with nearby Downtown businesses and with nearby residential units. Other businesses in the Downtown area potentially could benefit from the presence of the karate studio in that they offer merchandise and services that could appeal to the karate students or their parents who may linger to shop Downtown on a Saturday. Downtown restaurants could benefit as parents may take advantage of the 1.5-hour long classes to eat dinner "out".
