Letters from the neighbors and Silver Oaks Homeowners Association for the Planning Commission work session on July 24, 2013, are included as Exhibit H. PUD CONSIDERATIONS The Zoning Ordinance of the Municipal Code sets forth purposes of the Planned Unit Development District and "considerations" to be addressed in reviewing a PUD development plan. 1. Whether the plan is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general welfare. The proposed project, as conditioned, meets all applicable City standards concerning public health, safety, and welfare. The subject development would include the installation of all required on-site utilities with connections to the city systems in order to serve the two new lots. The project will not generate volumes of traffic that cannot be accommodated by existing City streets and intersections in the area. The future homes would be designed to meet the design guidelines and the requirements of Building and Fire Codes, and other applicable City codes. The proposed development is compatible with the adjacent uses and would be consistent with the existing character of the area. The closest portion of the building area on Lot 1 would be at approximately 180 feet to the building pad area on the currently vacant lot known as 31 Silver Oaks Court, approximately 300 feet from the existing home to the west located at 750 Pietronave Lane, and the closest corner of the building area on Lot 2 would be located at an additional 280 feet away. The shortest distance between the proposed building area on Lot 1 and the rear property line of the homes on Silver Oaks Lane would be approximately 220 feet, and that of Lot 2 would be approximately 335 feet. As such, adequate setbacks would be provided between the proposed building envelopes and the existing homes on the adjacent properties. Therefore, staff believes that the proposed PUD development plan is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general welfare, and that this finding can be made. 2. Whether the plan is consistent with the City's General Plan and any applicable specific Plan. The Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan (VACSP) was developed to implement the City's General Plan for the Vineyard Avenue Corridor area and has been found by the City Council to be consistent with General Plan policies including densities consistent with surrounding properties, preservation of open space, protection of wildlife habitat, and mitigation of drainage impacts. The proposed PUD development plan has been designed or conditioned to meet the applicable VACSP policies for the Hillside Residential and Open Space land use designations. The project site was allocated three Hillside Residential lots by the VACSP; however, the applicants propose just two new Hillside Residential lots. Staff believes that the proposed PUD development plan is consistent with PUD-84 Planning Commission Page 20 of 23
