EXHIBIT C <br /> PUD FINDINGS FOR CASE <br /> PUD-57; HENDRICK AUTOMOTIVE GROUP <br /> PUD CONSIDERATIONS <br /> The Pleasanton Municipal Code sets forth the purposes of the Planned Unit <br /> Development District and "considerations" the Planning Commission and City <br /> Council should consider when reviewing a PUD development plan. These <br /> considerations form the basis as to whether a PUD development plan should be <br /> approved. <br /> 1. Is the plan in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general <br /> welfare? <br /> The project, as conditioned, will adhere to all applicable City standards <br /> concerning public health, safety, and welfare. The subject development will <br /> include the installation of all required on site utilities with connections to <br /> municipal systems in order to serve the project. The structures will be designed <br /> to meet the requirements of the Uniform Building Code and Fire Code. Two <br /> emergency vehicle access points will be provided. As described in consideration <br /> number 3 (below), the proposed development, as conditioned, is compatible with <br /> adjacent uses. <br /> Accordingly, the project, as conditioned, is in the best interest of the public <br /> health, safety, and general welfare. <br /> 2. Is the plan consistent with the City's General Plan and any applicable <br /> specific plan? <br /> The site's General Plan Land Use designation Medium Density Residential (2 to <br /> 8 dwelling units per gross acre) and High Density Residential (greater than 8 <br /> dwelling units per gross acre); Parks and Recreation; and Retail/Highway/Service <br /> Commercial, Business and Professional Offices allows for a mix of uses on the <br /> Staples Ranch site including an auto mall. According to the General Plan, <br /> commercial development with a floor area ratio of 35% or less can be provided <br /> on the site without an amenity. <br /> Development of the proposed project will further the implementation of the <br /> Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan Amendment. The Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan <br /> Amendment anticipates an approximately 37 acre auto mall on the project site. <br /> As conditioned, the project will adhere to the design constraints of the Specific <br /> Plan Amendment, includes cool roofs, landscape buffers, green walls, an <br /> attractive wall by the Staples Ranch Neighborhood Park, stormwater treatment in <br /> landscaping areas, distinctive design treatments (such as expansive glass entry <br /> features), and roof parapets which match the building design as <br /> PUD Findings—PUD-57 <br /> Page 1 of 5 <br />
