STAFF REVIEW/ANALYSIS Conditional uses are those uses which, by their nature, require special consideration so they may be located properly with respect to the objectives of the Municipal Code and with respect to their effects on surrounding properties. The Pleasanton Municipal Code states that a proposed conditional use must be in accordance with the objectives of the Zoning Ordinance. One of those objectives is to “Promote the stability of existing land uses that conform with the General Plan and to protect them from inharmonious influences and harmful intrusions.” To achieve these purposes, the Planning Commission may approve, conditionally approve, or deny applications for CUPs. Land Use The subject site is located in the PUD-I/C-O (Planned Unit Development – Industrial/Commercial-Office) District. In July 2010, the City approved a modification to the approved Pleasanton Park development plan, to allow for churches and similar religious facilities within an existing building, subject to a CUP. If the CUP is granted, the proposed religious facility would be consistent with the applicable land use regulations. Tri-Valley Bread of Life Christian Church will be located on a parcel within an existing commercial building where the current tenants include a chiropractic office, medical device Research and Development facility, and a warehousing and distribution facility for an audio- visual support services company. Other adjacent land uses consist of offices, light industrial, and commercial uses. There are no residential uses within proximity to the subject site. In staff’s evaluation, this use is compatible with the surrounding uses. In the past, the Planning Commission has granted CUPs for religious facilities in business parks (including a religious facility at nearby 6644 Owens Drive under P13-2043) and they are a relatively common use in other business parks in Pleasanton. The subject building is located on a site that has adequate on-site parking; and the facility would be operated entirely indoors, with most activity occurring
