PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC-98-27 RESOLUTION APPROVING THE APPLICATION OF STANDARD PACIFIC OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, AS FILED UNDER CASE UP-98-09 WHEREAS, Standard Pacific of Northern California has applied for a conditional use permit for a 530 square foot secondary unit to be constructed within a new two-story home located at 2974 Sorano Court; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is PUD-AlOS/LDR (Planned Unit Development- Agriculture/Open Space/Low Density Residential) District; and WHEREAS, at its duly noticed public hearing of April 22, 1998, the Planning Commission considered aU public testimony, relevant exhibits, and recommendations of the City staff concerning this application; and WHEREAS, projects of this nature are categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); therefore, no environmental document was prepared for this project; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission made the following findings: A. The proposed location ofthe conditional use is in accordance with the objectives of the zoning ordinance and the purpose of the district in which the site is located. The existing residence conforms with the objectives and purposes of the zoning ordinance and the purpose of the Ruby Hill PUD. State law considers second units as a single-family use. The proposal would maintain the existing single-family character ofthe Ruby Hill development because the unit is designed as part of the home, indistinguishable from the exterior as a second unit. The second unit only constitutes 9.5% of the total house living area. In addition, a recommended condition of approval -- standard for aU secondary units in the City -- requires that either the primary residence or the secondary unit be owner-occupied and that a maximum oftwo adults shaU be allowed to reside in the unit. This condition is required to be recorded with the deed to the property.
