ATTACHMENT 4 PUD-1 23, Mathew Zaheri Application for Planned Unit Development (PUD) development plan to construct a 201-stall parking lot for vehicle display/inventory to be shared by Stoneridge Chrysler- Jeep-Dodge-Ram and a future dealership located at 2694 Stoneridge Drive. Zoning for the property is PUD-C (Planned Unit Development- Commercial) District. Jennifer Hagen presented the Staff Report. Commissioner Ritter referred to dealership #2 and asked about drainage and whether the reconfiguration would just be striping changes. Ms. Hagen replied yes; the bioswales will be designed per drainage and engineering requirements. Commissioner Allen referred to trees and whether staff could support the streetscape plan based on comments the Commission made at the work session. Ms. Hagen replied she and Landscape Architect, Matt Gruber visited the site and believes the landscaping is appropriate and adequate for the current dealership. Commissioner Allen asked if the irrigation system and maintenance plan were adequate in staffs opinion. Ms. Hagen replied yes, the applicant has changed landscape companies and is working to ensure the landscaping works. Chair Balch asked and confirmed that the applicant was using recycled water. Chair Balch noted the bioswale is State-mandated and he confirmed with Ms. Hagen that landscaping must be maintained in perpetuity. Chair Balch referred to the Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC) relating to parking and asked about proportions of compact spots (40%) in a parking lot. Ms. Hagen explained that PUDs are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and, in this case, staff looked at this lot as a private vehicle display inventory and not a public parking lot. Staff is comfortable allowing the greater amount of compact spaces in this particular case. Chair Balch questioned the requirements in parking lots for fingers with landscaping. Mr. Weinstein replied that staff reviews planting and landscaping, but it is not required per the PMC and not in dealerships. Chair Balch stated that with dealership #2 unknown the Commission does not know the size of the vehicles or customers and noted 8'x6' parking spaces were very small. Staff has clarified. He asked staff about visitor stalls and those at the existing dealership do not seem to be used for non-display vehicles, and he questioned whether this is under the current PUD.
