V. CONCLUSION <br /> Staff supports the draft Municipal Code amendment, as described in Option 2 above, and <br /> believes that it will help protect historic homes that are valued by the community and ensure <br /> that changes to historic homes are consistent with the Downtown Specific Plan and Downtown <br /> Design Guidelines. <br /> The historic resource survey will benefit both property owners and applicants by saving them <br /> the time and expense of hiring a consultant to conduct an individual survey and by letting them <br /> know whether a structure is considered historic or not, allowing them to plan their <br /> additions/modifications accordingly. It will also aid staff, the Planning Commission, and City <br /> Council in their review of applications that involve changes to residential structures constructed <br /> before 1942. <br /> VI. STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br /> Staff recommends that the Planning Commission take the following actions: <br /> 1. Find that the proposed amendment to the Municipal Code is statutorily exempt from <br /> CEQA; <br /> 2. Recommend the City Council accept the Historic Resource Survey; and, <br /> 3. Adopt a resolution recommending approval of Case P15-0384, amendment to the <br /> Pleasanton Municipal Code as shown in Exhibit A, and forward the application to the <br /> City Council for public hearing and review. <br /> For questions or comments about this project, please contact: Steve Otto, Senior Planner at 925-931- <br /> 5608 or sotto@cityofpleasantonca.gov <br /> P15-0384 Page - 7- October 14, 2015 <br />
