Commissioner O'Connor: Yeah, we don't want the same model repeated 3 or 4 times <br />on the street. <br />Hardy: Nor do we. <br />Commissioner Allen: So I really appreciate you all taking a look at that. Thank you. <br />THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. <br />Chair Ritter: All right, just one last question. I know the concept of more building and <br />Pleasanton's growth. I know the Mayor has said the RHNA number is our new cap rate, <br />so I just wanted to make the point that we, the staff, the Planning Commission and the <br />Council don't decide what gets built, we just decide how it gets zoned and it's up to the <br />developer to figure out if they can or can't do it. But I appreciate your comment about <br />too much building in the City because we want to keep it in the top 10 like everybody <br />else. It sounds like we have agreement. Does anyone want to make a motion? <br />Commissioner Allen: I would like to make a motion. I would like to make a motion for <br />approval of this PUD with two modifications in conditions of approval. One is regarding <br />height and that is we change the condition of approval relative to height which includes <br />the table on page 6 and relevant tables such that this would be 30 feet instead of <br />32 feet. And number two, we change the FAR for this per Ms. Hardy's comments to <br />40% for this project versus 45 %, except for Lots 1 -5. <br />Hardy: An average FAR of 40 %. <br />Commissioner Allen: Yes, an average FAR of 40% <br />Derbish: Why are lots 1 -5 excluded? <br />Hardy: Because we're pre - plotting. The houses we showed you on Lots 1 -5, those <br />remain as is. <br />Beaudin: Can you all help me with what your intention is with average FAR? FAR is <br />not blended across parcels typically. It is per parcel, so the idea of potentially limiting <br />one neighbor by what another neighbor does, if there's an average of 40% across <br />5 parcels and some people are at 32% and some people are at 48 %, that starts to <br />become problematic for us. <br />Chair Ritter: I think what Commissioner Allen wants is for this to say 40 %. <br />Beaudin: 40 %, not 45 %. <br />Commissioner Allen: That's exactly right. <br />Beaudin: Does that work for Ponderosa? <br />Jeff Schroeder: I'm sorry? <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, March 23, 2016 Page 16 of 46 <br />
