PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC-2006-24 RESOLUTION APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR SHERRI SWEETNAM/ JAZZ-N-TAPS DANCE STUDIO, AS FILED UNDER CASE PCUP-167 WHEREAS, Sherri Sweetnam/Jazz-N-Taps Dance Studio, has applied for a conditional use permit to operate a dance studio within the existing building located at 3930 Valley Avenue, in the Valley Business Park; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is PUD--I (Planned Unit Development -Industrial) District; and WHEREAS, at its duly noticed public hearing of May 10, 2006, the Planning Commission considered all public testimony, relevant exhibits, and recommendations of the City staff concerning this application; and WHEREAS, projects of this nature are categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); 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 general provisions of the Zoning Ordinance state that part of the objectives of the ordinance are to foster a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses, protect existing land uses from inharmonious influences, and to ensure that public and private lands ultimately are used for the purposes which are the most appropriate and beneficial to the City as a whole. As conditioned, the proposed use would be consistent with these objectives. The subject building is located in Valley Business Park, which is located in a Planned Unit Development Industrial (PUD-I) District and is intended to provide sites for industrial uses, neighborhood and support commercial uses, and office uses. Given the small scale of the operation and its location, the proposed use would be compatible with surrounding uses. As proposed there would be eight part-time employees with no more than two employees working at the dance studio at any given time; there will be up to ten students attending each class, and the majority of the classes are conducted after regular business hours. For these reasons, the use would not create parking or circulation impacts, and this finding can be made.
