P24-0670, -0671, and -0672, 1803 Santa Rita Road Planning Commission 2 of 12 as KFC which formerly occupied the subject site within the past two years, previously approved by the Planning Commission and have been or were operating without any reported issues. Conditions of approval have been included which will ensure the safety and general welfare of the surrounding area, and the City in general, is maintained. BACKGROUND PUD Development Plan and Uses The subject site, located in Valley Plaza Shopping Center (VPSC), is zoned Planned Unit Development – Commercial (PUD-C) District and is subject to the conditions of approval of PUD-73-2 adopted by the City Council under Ordinance No. 719. Each building within VPSC is subject to the uses of either the Office (O), Central-Commercial (C-C), Service-Commercial (C-S), or Neighborhood-Commercial (C-N) Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC) Zoning District(s). The subject site follows the uses of the C-C District. No development or design standards (i.e., building height, setbacks, floor area ratio, minimum parking ratio, color schemes, finish materials, signage, etc.) were established with the PUD. Therefore, proposed projects are subject to case-by-case review. The majority of VPSC is also zoned Housing Opportunity Zone and is designated as a housing site in the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update; however, that designation does not preclude the existing or future commercial uses permitted by the existing PUD. The PMC permits restaurants in the C-C District with any restaurant that includes a drive-through being subject to a CUP. The subject building was constructed within the past five years and was operated as KFC with a drive-through, pursuant to an existing CUP for the subject site, until approximately two years ago. The drive-through lane was in operation for approximately 30 years prior to KFC’s departure. Conditional Use Permit PMC Section 18.124.100.A. states the conditions under which a use permit will lapse and shall become void. Based on these provisions, and since KFC vacated the site more than a year ago, a new CUP is required for the proposed drive -through coffee restaurant. The CUP, DR, and SDR applications are now before the Planning Commission for consideration.
