influences and would require the use permit be reviewed in six months to determine if the business is operating in a non-nuisance manner. The application was referred to the Economic Restructuring Committee of the Pleasanton Downtown Association (PDA). The Committee adopted a motion fully supporting the proposed use as proposed and encouraged the applicant to secure valet parking during their peak customer period. The Committee also adopted a motion encouraging other businesses on Main Street and on side streets within a ½ block Main Street to stay open to stay open later (up to 1:00 a.m.) to create a "night life" Downtown. VI. FINDINGS The Commission needs to make the following findings prior to the granting of a use permit: That 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. Objectives of the zoning ordinance include: protecting existing land uses from inharmonious influences and harmful intrusions; fostering harmonious, convenient, workable relationships among land uses; and insuring that public and private lands ultimately are used for the purposes which are most appropriate and beneficial to the City as a whole. As conditioned, staff believes that the proposed bar would be consistent with these objectives. The site of the proposed use is located in the Downtown, which permits a variety of commercial, office, and residential uses. Bars are in accordance with the purposes of the Central Commercial zoning district to provide locations to offer commodities and services to the residents of Pleasanton and surrounding areas. The proposed operation would be consistent with Downtown Specific Plan goals of increasing the diversity of the area and with Pleasanton Downtown Association goals of creating a night life in the Downtown. The proposed conditions of approval for the project give the City the appropriate controls to ensure that the use does not have any negative impacts on the surrounding businesses and properties. The use permit for the bar is, in staffs opinion, in accordance with the objectives of the zoning district, and staff believes that this finding can be made. That the proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity. .Page - 9
