Mr. Dolan indicated that the City would have significant concerns about any development that would be accessed off a road that steep. Commissioner Blank inquired if any part of the proposed project is outside the Urban Growth Boundary line and would have to be accessed through this road. Ms. Stern replied that the portion of the project to be developed is below the Urban Growth Boundary line. Commissioner Pentin noted that three lots are being squeezed together into two parcels in order to fit in and inquired if the project is encroaching into the deep end of Parcel 2 for any of the lots. Ms. Stern said no. Commissioner Blank inquired if the project is getting into the west side of the three parcels. Ms. Stern said no. Commissioner Pearce inquired if staff has any concerns in terms of elevation and grade about the part of Santos Ranch Road from which the proposed new street will be accessed. Mr. Dolan said yes. Commissioner O’Connor referred to clustering and inquired what is allowed under the current zoning. Mr. Otto replied that Item 4 on page 8 of the staff report states: “Lots created along Foothill Road shall be clustered such that natural open space of a minimum of 200 feet in width shall separate the clusters. No more than three lots may exist in a cluster of lots.” Commissioner O’Connor inquired if this could be changed by a General Plan amendment. Mr. Otto replied that this is in the Pleasanton Municipal Code.He stated that a PUD development could potentially be proposed not to conform to it. He noted, however, that the purpose of the West Foothill Corridor Overlay District is to have properties conform to the District’s standards. Commissioner O’Connor inquired if a topographical map showing the 25-percent slopes is available. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES, December 8, 2010 Page 5 of 23
