PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC-2007-17 RESOLUTION APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR COLD ROOM SOLUTIONS, INC., AS FILED UNDER CASE PCUP-192 WHEREAS, Cold Room Solutions, Inc. has applied for a conditional use permit to operate a construction and construction-related business office at 3942 Valley Avenue, Unit L; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is PUD-I (Planned Unit Development -Industrial) District; and WHEREAS, at its duly noticed public hearing of April 25, 2007, 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 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. The business would be operated primarily within the existing building. With the proposed conditions, the proposed use would be operated in such a manner that it would conform to PUD-80-01 and would result in minimal disturbance to the nearby businesses and residents. The proposed use would be a compatible use in the building. The subject site is in the Valley Business Park, a business park that is dominated by businesses that involve office/warehousing. As described by the business owner, the business will not generate any unusual demands on the existing parking for the subject site or the surrounding properties. In addition, the conditions of the approvals require the applicant to mitigate any nuisances that may occur as a result of its proposed operation. Therefore, this finding can be made.
