around and indicated that if one of the three-story units were taken out and replaced with grass, it would provide some open space area. Chair Olson stated that he drives by this complex almost every day and right and noted that across the street is a middle school with a huge track and facilities. He added that the complex is also close to the Downtown and that there is plenty of open space around the project. Commissioner Narum noted that the school is not usable Monday through Friday when classes are in session, and sports activities use the fields in the afternoons. Chair Olson stated that this development has been at this location for quite a long time, and the economics would be significantly changed if a building were removed. Commissioner Pearce added that the City Council’s direction was for more density and housing. Commissioner Pentin noted that there is open space at Civic Park on the corner of Bernal Avenue and First Street/Sunol Boulevard, there is the Middle School park, the Bernal Community Park, and Mission Park up the street. He indicated that he did not support relocation or removal of the building. Commissioner O’Connor requested staff to point out on the site map the location of removed laundry facilities, which Mr. Pavan did. Commissioner O’Connor then inquired if the laundry facilities that were removed would lend themselves to any additional open space. Mr. Pavan described the lawn areas, building clusters with open space in-between which would be used by residents who will be living in the clustered buildings. He stated that staff looked at this carefully, and while there is no lawn provided around the pool, there are well-distributed passive areas to provide open space use. Commissioner Pearce moved to find that the proposed PUD development plan modification conforms with the applicable goals and policies of the Pleasanton General Plan, to make the PUD development plan findings 1-6 as stated in the staff report, and to recommend approval to the City Council of Case PUD-84-21-4M, subject to Conditions of Approval as listed in Exhibit A, with the following modifications: 1. Amend Condition 20 to limit construction activities such as demolition, grading, framing, etc. to Monday through Friday with interior-only construction work allowed on Saturday. 2. The new trash enclosures shall be sized to accommodate the new refuse recycling carts; 3. All ground-floor units shall include two full bathrooms, including a toilet, sink/vanity, and tub/shower, which, by Code, would require one of the bathrooms to provide a roll-in shower; PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, March 10, 2010 Page 22 of 25
