Sound Transmission Class (STC) ratings to mitigate train noise and staff acknowledges that it <br /> may be difficult for the applicant to find windows that would comply with the window design <br /> requirements. Therefore, staffs recommended condition requires that the proposed vinyl <br /> windows have a similar frame and sash thickness as found on a traditional wood- <br /> framed/sashed window and that raised mullions be used on both sides of the glass unless the <br /> required noise mitigation for this project prevents compliance with this condition. <br /> Overall, staff believes that the building designs are attractive, and that the articulation, finish, <br /> and materials are appropriate for the Downtown, comply with the Downtown Design <br /> Guidelines, and would complement the existing buildings in the neighborhood and other areas <br /> in the Downtown. <br /> Traffic and Circulation <br /> The Pleasanton General Plan exempts the Downtown Specific Plan area from the Citywide <br /> Level of Service (LOS) D standards although improvements at Downtown intersections may <br /> occur where necessary and when consistent with the character of the downtown. Downtown <br /> Specific Plan streets and intersections were built prior to modern road standards and lack the <br /> necessary right-of-way for major roadway improvements. Furthermore, removing on-street <br /> parking, adding additional travel lanes, and reducing sidewalk width — the types of traffic <br /> improvements that are typically required — would be inconsistent with the desired pedestrian <br /> character of the Downtown. <br /> The proposed project is considered a small-scale project located in the Downtown, and, for <br /> these reasons, does not require a traffic study. The residential, office/commercial uses and <br /> proposed site layout are not anticipated to create any unique traffic or circulation <br /> circumstances. The applicant would be required to pay applicable City and Tri-Valley traffic <br /> fees as part of the project. Therefore, the project will result in a proposed development that will <br /> be consistent with the City's traffic safety. <br /> Parking <br /> Single-family homes are required to have two parking spaces per unit, with at least one of the <br /> spaces covered in a garage or carport. The applicant is proposing to provide two covered <br /> spaces in two-car garages for each detached, single-family home. As conditioned, the <br /> garages will not be allowed to be modified by the residents or used for storage in a manner <br /> that interferes with the ability to park two cars within the garage and residents will be required <br /> to park their vehicles in the garages. A condition of approval requires that these parking <br /> restrictions be recorded as restrictive covenants that will "run with the land" and, therefore, <br /> would be binding on all future property owners. <br /> The PMC parking requirements for a mixed-use building would be nine on-site spaces (i.e., <br /> two spaces for each apartment unit and three spaces for the office/retail space based on a 1 <br /> space/300 sq. ft. parking ratio). There are six on-site parking spaces proposed for the mixed- <br /> use building and the applicant is proposing to have the apartment and office/retail tenants <br /> share the six parking spaces. PUD rezoning allows for flexibility to amend the parking <br /> standards required by the PMC. During the Work Session, the Commission believed that, <br /> although the PMC parking standards were not being met (three additional spaces are required <br /> per the PMC), the small rental apartment units are likely to have reduced parking demand <br /> compared to typical residential units and are located in close proximity to transit facilities (the <br /> PUD-118, 4791 Augustine Street Planning Commission <br /> Page 19 of 25 <br />
