CONCLUSION Rezoning the site to PUD-MDR/OS-PH&S/WO (Planned Unit Development — Medium Density Residential/Open Space — Public Health and Safety/Wildland Overlay) is consistent with Pleasanton General Plan and the Downtown Specific Plan Land Use Designations of High Density Residential. Infill developments, especia ly those located on the relatively small parcels in the Downtown, face various chal enges and site constraints that oftentimes require and benefit from the flexibility allowed by the Planned Unit Development zoning process. Option 1, as revised and now proposed, blends well with the Downtown's character and impacts to the adjacent residents have been minimized by keeping the density to 12 new single-family homes instead of the 14 proposed in Option 2. The positioning of homes in Option 1 is appropriate and the homes are modest in height for two-story structures. The units are designed and sized to provide an attractive and livable environment for the future residents and with the incorporation of the private, pedestrian pathway into Option 1, future residents who live in this development will be able to have direct access to the Downtown, patronizing Downtown businesses and amenities, thus supporting and adding to the economic viability of Downtown. Therefore, staff recommends that the Council approve Option 1 and require the applicant and/or responsible party to return with a PUD modification and General and Specific Plan amendments to allow limited, commercial personal services and/or office uses.
