CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA ORDINANCE NO. 1467 ORDINANCE APPROVING THE APPEAL AS FILED UNDER CASE AP-90-4 AND APPROVING CASE PUD-90-2 AS FILED BY MICHAEL GORDON WHEREAS, Michael Gordon appealed a decision of the Planning Commission denying approval of Case PUD-90-2, the application for planned development rezoning and development plan approval for a five-lot residential PUD, including the development of four new single family residences; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is R-1-6500 (Single-family Residential) District; and WHEREAS, within the time specified by the Pleasanton Municipal Code, Michael Gordon submitted an appeal to the City Clerk of the City of Pleasanton; and WHEREAS, a public hearing was held before the City Council on June 5, 1990 at which time all pertinent testimony and documents were reviewed; and WHEREAS, based on the preponderance of evidence, the City Council finds that this appeal should be upheld and the application for rezoning and development plan should be approved based on the following findings: A. The plan is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general welfare: The project has been designed and conditioned to avoid excessive grading and to blend in with the surrounding area. The required geotechnical study has been prepared and reviewed and the conclusion is that the site is capable of being safely developed if the recommendations of the geotechnical con~ultantz are followed. B. The plan is consistent with the City's General Plan: At 2.5 dwelling units per acre, the proposed project density is consistent with the Land Use Element of the General Plan, which allows a density range of 2-8 dwelling units per acre. In addition, the density would be well below the average density of 5 dwelling units per acre, meaning that a PUD without the provision of amenities is appropriate.
