P26-0018, Naschmarkt Planning Commission <br />7 of 7 <br /> <br />PUBLIC NOTICE <br />Notices of this application were sent to surrounding property owners and tenants within a <br />1,000-foot radius of the site. Staff has provided the location and noticing map as Exhibit C for <br />reference. At the time this report was published, staff had not received any public comments <br />about the project. <br /> <br />ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT <br />The project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) <br />pursuant to Section 15301- Existing Facilities. CEQA’s Class 1 exemption applies to the <br />operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, and minor alterations of existing <br />facilities, with negligible or no expansion of use (CEQA Guidelines §15301). The subject site is <br />an existing tenant space. The request for a modification of hours does not expand the use of <br />the existing restaurant. The restaurant is a permitted use. <br /> <br />CONCLUSION <br />Staff believes the required CUP findings for the project can be met if the project is approved as <br />conditioned. Conditions of approval have been included to ensure the safety and general <br />welfare of the surroundi ng area is maintained, while minimizing spillover effects such as noise <br />and parking. The proposed bar would enhance the vitality of Downtown by providing a new <br />late-night option for Downtown patrons in an appropriate location. <br /> <br />Primary Author: <br />Emily Carroll, AICP, Associate Planner, ecarroll@cityofpleasantonca.gov <br /> <br />Reviewed/Approved By: <br />Eric Luchini, Senior Planner <br />Derek Farmer, Assistant Director of Community and Economic Development, Planning Manager <br />Julie Harryman, Assistant City Attorney <br />
