<br />Resolution No. PC-98-29 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />The project site lies inside the ALUC's 65 CNEL noise contour. Special <br />building construction and window and door designs will be utilized with <br />this development so that the interior living areas meet the required, <br />single-event noise standard of 50 dBA for bedrooms and 55 dBA for <br />living areas. <br /> <br />Potential traffic noise impacts from Stoneridge Drive on the private rear <br />and side yards and interior living areas can be mitigated by a combination <br />of a 6' 0" tall solid masonry wall constructed along the rear and side <br />property lines of the proposed lots directly facing Stoneridge Drive, by <br />special private yard fencing for those lots facing the open fence sections of <br />Stoneridge Drive, by special window glazing and/or double glazing on <br />windows and sliding doors, and by equipping the homes with mechanical <br />forced-air ventilation. <br /> <br />Full public street infrastructure including curb, gutter, and sidewalks; <br />streets and bus-stops; and water, storm, and sanitary sewer lines are <br />present to serve the proposed development on this site. All on-site <br />infrastructure shall be installed by the project developer. <br /> <br />2. The proposed development plan modification is consistent with the <br />Pleasanton General Plan. <br /> <br />The Specific Plan designates the l6.l-acre site for Medium Density <br />Residential Land Uses (2 - 8 dulac). The proposed project is part of the <br />overall ChulChoi/ Gahrahmat property and previously approved <br />development, for which the Stoneridge Specific Plan allows 390 units. As <br />allowed by the Pleasanton General Plan, the overall site can be developed <br />with varying housing types. Total units for the proposed project with the <br />constructed first phase and second phase under construction would equal <br />376-units. By conforming to the Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan, the <br />proposed project conforms to the Land Use Element of the Pleasanton <br />General Plan. <br /> <br />3. The proposed development plan modification is compatible with <br />previously developed properties located in the vicinity of the site. <br /> <br />The site is an infill property surrounded by a variety of single-family <br />detached residential uses and the Kaiser quarry. Through deep setbacks to <br />building walls and the perimeter masonry wall combined with extensive <br />articulation of the wall planes, use of open fencing where rear yards do not <br />abut Stoneridge Drive, and perimeter landscaping located on the public <br />right-of-way, the overall site and building design avoids the aesthetic <br />concerns with residential development backing up to a major arterial. <br />Proposed landscaping is extensive, attractive, frames public and private <br />
