3. The proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of this chapter. The proposed conditional use is required to comply with all applicable sections of the Pleasanton Municipal Code and with PUD-93-02-8M, the PUD development plan and development plan modification governing the subject property. Conditions of approval for the operation of the event center and winery would ensure its compliance with the City's zoning ordinance and with the PUD. By complying with the recommended conditions of approval, the proposed facility would meet the criteria for receiving a conditional use permit and would, therefore, comply with the intent of the Pleasanton Municipal Code and the PUD development plan. Therefore, staff believes that this finding can be made. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT A negative declaration was prepared in conjunction with the proposed development. Based on the Initial Study and Negative Declaration, the project would not have a significant effect on the environment. The proposed project plans have been revised to avoid significant effects or mitigated by design to a point where the effects are insignificant and there is no substantial evidence that the project as revised may have a significant effect. CONCLUSION The proposed event center and winery would establish a compatible use and would meet the goals of the Pleasanton General Plan and the South Livermore Valley Area Plan. The overall design of the applicant's proposal carries many architectural features that are seen in wineries of the Napa/Sonoma area. The fountain and the entrance are the focal point, while the gallery, and the inner courtyard area create an attractive, pedestrian-oriented space. The views of the facility from Vineyard Avenue and Isabel Avenue would reinforce the wine-making heritage of the Ruby Hill area and, additionally, would work well with the nearby Ruby Hill development. As proposed and conditioned, the project would be compatible with the existing homes of the Ruby Hill development.
