<br />EXHIBIT H <br /> <br />PUD-93-02-08M Findings <br /> <br />PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN MAJOR MODIFICATION FINDINGS <br /> <br />The Zoning Ordinance ofthe Pleasanton Municipal Code sets forth the purposes <br />ofthe Planned Unit Development (PUD) District and the considerations to be <br />addressed in reviewing a PUD Development Plan and any major modification of <br />an approved development plan. The Planning Commission must make the <br />following findings that the proposed modification of the PUD-93-02 conforms to <br />the purposes of the PUD District, before making its recommendation. <br /> <br />1. Whether the proposed development plan is in the best interests of the <br />public health, safety, and general welfare: <br /> <br />The proposed project as designed and conditioned meets all applicable City <br />standards concerning public health, safety, and welfare, e.g., vehicle access, <br />geologic hazards (new development not within a special studies zone), and <br />flood hazards. The proposed development plan is designed in conformance <br />with the Pleasanton General Plan designations for this site and all other <br />relevant policies and programs. As proposed, there would be a total of 132 <br />parking spaces provided in the parking areas surrounding the event center <br />and winery building. Based on experience of operating a similar facility in <br />the vicinity, this number of parking is adequate to handle guests attending <br />events. <br /> <br />Therefore, staff believes that this finding can be made. <br /> <br />2. Whether the proposed development plan is consistent with the <br />Pleasanton General Plan: <br /> <br />The subject property is designated by the Land Use Element of the <br />Pleasanton General Plan for Agriculture and Grazing uses. The site is <br />adjacent to the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan area, and the <br />General Plan for this area encourages uses which relate to the outlying wine <br />country and calls for creating an attractive gateway to the Livermore Valley <br />wine country and implementing wine country architectural and landscape <br />design themes throughout the corridor. The Vineyard Avenue Corridor <br />Specific Plan similarly contains land use objectives to encourage <br />development of vineyard related commercial uses. <br /> <br />The existing farm buildings would be used for barrel and case storage use <br />and wine production. The existing residence would be used as the caretaker <br />
