not be expected to create these types of noise problems. However, in the event that the clientele create these kinds of problems, staffhas conditioned the project so that if there are any future complaints regarding noise levels due to shouting, fighting, vehicles, etc., the project can be reviewed again to add mitigating conditions of approval. Such conditions could include the hiring of security guards to patrol the parking areas, reducing the hours of operation, and/or eliminating the use of the outdoor patio area(s) for alcoholic beverage consumption. Furthermore, as stated above, staff has proposed a condition of approval requiring the review of the use permit in six months, at which time noise (and other potential issues) will be evaluated. On-street public parking is allowed on Walnut Drive and the south side of Ray Street. These parking spaces abut several residences. The restaurant/bar would be open until midnight or 1:00 a.m., and there is the potential that the residents on Ray Street and Walnut Drive could be disturbed by late-night patrons who park on Ray Street or Walnut Drive. However, with the parking conditions implemented as discussed above, staff believes the potential for impacting the residences on Ray Street and Walnut Drive would be minimized. Staff has included a condition of approval that requires the applicant to notify her patrons to park in the subject site's parking lot, in the US Bank employee parking lot, or in the on-street parking spaces on Main Street or to use the valet parking service. A condition also requires that the applicant install small signs near the exit doors requesting that customers not loiter outside and to be courteous and quiet when leaving the business and parking area. V. PUBLIC NOTICE Notices regarding the proposed conditional use permit application and related public hearing were mailed to property owners and tenants within 1,000 ft. of the subject property. At the writing of this report, four people have contacted staff regarding the proposed application: Chris Beratlis, owner of several Downtown properties; Lee McWilliams, resident of 340 Ray Street; Christine Cardullo, resident of 304 Ray Street; and Nanette Vogel, resident of 503 Saint John Street. As noted above, Chris Beratlis is concerned with potential problems caused by late-night customers and suggested that the late-night hours be approved on a limited, trial basis only. Mr. McWilliams, who lives directly behind 780 Main Street, indicated that he was concerned that the proposed late night alcohol service would increase noise and that he was opposed to the proposed application. He indicated that he already has problems with noise from live bands at the Pleasanton Hotel and people leaving the parking lots at Coffee Roast Express and Pleasanton Main Street Brewery. In the attached e-mail, Ms. Cardullo indicates that she feels that the proposed late-night alcohol service would increase noise, traffic, and street parking on Ray Street and requests that the application be denied. In Nanette Vogel's e-mail, she indicates that she has been to the applicant's Danville restaurant on several occasions, that it seems like a very respectable restaurant/pub, and encourages the Commission to approve the application. As discussed above, staff believes that the recommended conditions of approval would ensure that the surrounding uses are not impacted due to noise, parking, litter, or other objectionable Page - 8
