AND CAROL POUYA. FILE NO.: PLN2008-97.
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law and after presentation by the
Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the hearing was closed.
After due consideration of all evidence presented, the Planning Commission did find as
follows with respect to application PLN2008-97.
1. The proposed on-sale beer and wine sales in conjunction with a wine shop is
consistent with the Commercial General Plan land use designation.
2. The proposed on-sale wine sales in conjunction with a retrial wine shop will be
compatible with the C-2-S (General Commercial) zoning designation with approval of a
Conditional Use Permit.
3. The project site consists of a 973 square foot tenant space (Tessora's wine shop)
within an existing shopping center and a patio area providing seating for eight.
4. The existing 3,892 parking spaces will adequately address the parking needs of the
subject site and proposed use.
5. The project site is 27.2 acres located on the west side of Bascom Avenue, between
Campisi Way and East Campbell Avenue. The property is surrounded by mixed use
commercial/residential uses on the north and commercial uses to the east and south
and the Los Gatos Creek and Hwy 17 to the west. The subject tenant space is located
on the north side of the Pruneyard Shopping Center, between EI Burro Restaurant, the
Pruneyard Inn, and Salon Rache.
6. The proposed project is consistent with other developments and uses in the
surrounding area.

10. The project qualifies as a Categorically Exempt project per Section 15301, Class 1
(Existing Facilities) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and
concludes that:
1. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan.
2. The proposed use is allowed within the applicable zoning district with Conditional Use
Permit approval and complies with all other applicable provisions of this Zoning Code
and the Municipal Code.
3. The proposed site is adequate in terms of size and shape to accommodate the fences
and walls, landscaping, parking and loading facilities, yards, and other development
features required in order to integrate the use with uses in the surrounding area.
4. The proposed site is adequately served by streets of sufficient capacity to carry the
kind and quantity of traffic the use would be expected to generate.
5. The establishment of wine sales will not result in an over concentration of such uses in
the area.
6. The establishment of wine sales, as conditioned, will not create a nuisance due to litter,
noise, traffic, vandalism, or other factors.
7. The establishment of wine sales, as conditioned, will not significantly disturb the peace
and enjoyment of the nearby residential neighborhood.
8. The establishment of wine sales will not significantly increase the demand on City
services.
9. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed use are
compatible with the existing and future land uses on-site and in the vicinity of the
subject property.
10. The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the proposed use at the location
proposed will not be detrimental to the comfort, health, morals, peace, safety, or
general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed
use, or be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood
or to the general welfare of the City.
