purposes of the PUD ordinance in this case by providing an in-fill development that is well- designed and sited on the subject site, and that meets the intent of the City's General Plan goals and policies, including those which promote in-fill, residential housing and encourage development of a variety of residential types. Moreover, input from the Valley Trails Neighborhood and Pleasanton residents has been sought and obtained through the Work Session, Housing Commission and Parks and Recreation Commission meetings, and outreach by the project applicant. Further opportunity for public comment will occur at the Planning Commission and City Council hearings. Staff believes that the PUD development plan optimizes the use of the infill site in a sensitive manner. Therefore, staff believes that this finding can be made. VESTING TENTATIVE MAP FINDINGS State law and the Zoning Ordinance of the PMC set forth considerations to be addressed in reviewing a Vesting Tentative Map. The Planning Commission must make the following findings that Vesting Tentative Map 8259 conforms to the purposes of the PMC before making its approval. 1. The proposed vesting tentative subdivision map conforms to the zoning regulations/development plan. The Vesting Tentative Map and improvements will conform to the PUD development plan and conditions of PUD-113. The map and improvements, therefore, would conform to the underlying PUD zoning district. 2. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities. The homes will comply with the City's residential Green Building Ordinance, which requires that each home achieve a "Green Home" rating on the "Single-Family Green Building Rating System." The homes in the development will incorporate a number of green building measures, providing a minimum of 50 points, and will be constructed to allow for the future installation of a photovoltaic-system and solar-water-heating system. 3. The proposed vesting tentative subdivision map, together with its design and improvement, is consistent with the Pleasanton General Plan. PUD-113, as discussed in the PUD Findings section of this report, was found to be consistent with the Pleasanton General Plan Medium Density Land Use designation (and applicable General Plan policies — Land Use Element Policies 5, 9 and 10 and Housing Element Policy 38) and Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map 8259 is based on the proposed development plan. The proposed subdivision and its improvements are compatible with the objectives, policies, land uses, and programs specified in the General Plan.
