Resolution No. PC-2026-13 Page Two Section 2: The Project is consistent with the adopted General Plan as it aligns with the applicable land use designations and supports the General Plan’s Programs, Policies, and Goals related to sustainability, community development, and industrial, commercial, and office. As such, the Project complies with the requirements of Government Code Section 65860 regarding zoning consistency with the General Plan. Section 3: Findings for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) With respect to CEQA, the Planning Commission finds the Project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, Class 1, Existing Facilities. The proposed use is for the operation of a private school within an existing building zoned for the proposed use, with no expansion of the existing building. The proposed use does not involve any hazardous substances, all necessary public services and facilities are available, and the surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive. Therefore, no additional environmental review is required. Section 4: Findings for Conditional Use Permit Approval With respect to the approval of P26-0222, the Planning Commission makes the following findings as required by Section 18.124.070 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code: A. 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. Some of the objectives of the zoning ordinance are to: foster a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses, protect existing land uses from inharmonious influences and harmful intrusions, and ensure public and private lands ultimately are used for the purposes that are most appropriate and beneficial to the City as a whole. As conditioned, the Planning Commission finds the proposed private school would be consistent with these objectives and would create more educational facilities within the City. The facility would be operated so as not to impact or interfere with the surrounding uses, in that the activities, number of students and staff, and hours of operation would not generate substantial noise, parking demand, or traffic. The subject site is zoned PUD-I/C-O (Planned Unit Development-Industrial/ Commercial-Office) district, and is located in the OMPD (Mid-rise Planning District) of Hacienda, which permits a variety of commercial, and office uses. Establishing a private school at this location would be in accordance with one of the purposes of the Commercial zoning district to provide locations to offer commodities and services to the residents of Pleasanton and surrounding areas and with one of the purposes of the Office zoning district to protect offices from the noise, disturbance, traffic hazards, safety hazards, and other objectionable influences incidental to certain commercial uses. The Planning Commission finds that the 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.
