Staff finds that size, location, and quantity of the signage proposed for the development to be <br />acceptable. Staff recommends that the Pleasanton sign be illuminated either by spot lights or <br />by hallo - illumination. <br />PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN FINDINGS <br />The Zoning Ordinance of the Pleasanton Municipal Code sets forth the purposes of the Planned <br />Unit Development (PUD) District and the considerations to be addressed in reviewing a PUD <br />Development Plan. The Planning Commission must find that the proposed PUD development <br />plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD District, as listed below, before making its <br />recommendation to the City Council. <br />1. Whether the plan is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general <br />welfare: <br />The proposed project, as conditioned, meets all applicable City standards concerning <br />public health, safety, and welfare. The subject development would include the installation <br />of all required on -site utilities with connections to municipal systems in order to serve the <br />new development. With the proposed roadway improvements, the project will not <br />generate volumes of traffic that cannot be accommodated by existing City streets and <br />intersections in the area. The restaurant building would be designed to meet the <br />requirements of the Uniform Building Code, Fire Code, and other applicable City codes. <br />Adequate access would be provided to the proposed development for police, fire, and <br />other emergency response vehicles. Stormwater run -off from the site will be treated <br />before leaving the site. Construction hour limits and dust suppression requirements will <br />minimize construction impacts on the surrounding hotel guests and tenants. The <br />proposed development is compatible with the adjacent uses and would be consistent <br />with the existing scale and character of the area. Therefore, staff believes that this <br />finding can be made. <br />2. Whether the plan is consistent with the City's General Plan and any applicable <br />specific plan: <br />With the proposed General Plan amendments, the proposed project would change the <br />current General Plan Land Use Designations of "Open Space — Public Health and <br />Safety" and `Retail /Highway /Service Commercial, Business and Professional Offices" to <br />"Business Park ", therefore providing a consistent land use designation with the adjoining <br />Pleasanton Square II Shopping Center. The Chick -fil -A site is located near the Interstate <br />1 -580 EB Hopyard Road exit, and is surrounded by shopping centers to the west and <br />northwest, and an office building to the south. The proposed restaurant with drive - <br />through service would be compatible with the surrounding uses. The proposed FAR of <br />15% for the Chick -fil -A site conforms to the 60% maximum FAR limit in the General Plan. <br />The existing office site at 6111 Johnson Court would have a FAR of 34.5 %, which also <br />conforms to the 60% maximum FAR limit in the General Plan. The project location is not <br />located in a specific plan area. Therefore, staff believes the proposed development plan <br />P13- 2533 /PUD- 100 /PUD- 96- 13 -02M Planning Commission <br />Page 23 of 27 <br />
