ATTACHMENT 4 PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN FINDINGS The Pleasanton Municipal Code sets forth the purposes of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) District and the considerations to be addressed in reviewing a PUD development plan proposal and proposed modification(s) of an approved development plan. The Planning Commission must make the following findings that the proposed modification of the previous PUD development plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD District, before making its recommendation. 1. Whether the proposed development plan modification is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general welfare: The proposed project will provide 31 units of moderate income rental housing in perpetuity and 5 units of low- income rental housing in perpetuity. The development as designed and conditioned meets all applicable City standards concerning public health, safety, and welfare, e.g., vehicle access, and geologic hazards (new development not within a special studies zone). Staff, therefore, believes that this finding can be made. 2. Whether the proposed development plan modification is compatible with previously developed properties located in the vicinity of the plan: The proposed buildings are located in a manner consistent with City standards for adequate emergency vehicle access, and are designed and sited to be integrated with the existing buildings of this development. Staff, therefore, believes that this finding can be made. 3. Whether the proposed development plan modification is compatible with the natural, topographic features of the site: The site is essentially flat. The existing recreation area will be removed and the grade elevation lowered by three to four feet, removing the existing access ramps, thereby improving its ADA accessibility to the parking areas and the rest of the development. Therefore, staff believes that this finding can be made. 4. Whether grading in conjunction with the proposed development plan modification takes into account environmental characteristics and is designed in keeping with the best engineering practices to avoid erosion, slides, or flooding, and to have as minimal an effect upon the environment as possible. The site is serviced by City infrastructure including public water, sanitary sewer, and storm drain lines of sufficient size and capacity to serve the proposal and, additionally, is not subject to flooding. The units will be designed and constructed to achieve City noise standards. Adequate street Page 1 of 2
