<br />PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON <br /> <br />ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA <br /> <br />RESOLUTION NO. PC-99-65 <br /> <br />RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE APPLICATION OF <br />MARDEL LLC FOR PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPROVAL, AS FILED UNDER <br />CASE PUD-99-01 <br /> <br />WHEREAS, Mardell LLC has applied for PUD development plan approval for 12 new <br />residential lots, one existing residential lot with an existing second unit, and open <br />space located at 4456 Foothill Road; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, zoning for the property is PUD-LDR/RDR/A (planned Unit Development-Low <br />Density Residentia1/Rural Density Residential Agricu1ture) District and WFRCOD <br />(West Foothill Road Corridor Overlay District); and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the Planning Commission made the following findings: <br /> <br />1. The plan is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general <br />welfare. <br /> <br />Mitigation measures which would reduce the impacts of constructing 12 new <br />homes on the subject property to an acceptable or insignificant level have been <br />included in the negative declaration. The applicant is proposing to provide funds <br />to East Bay Regional Park District for the construction of a staging area to the <br />Pleasanton Ridgelands Park and to dedicate approximately one acre to the <br />EBRPD so that a trail link can be created to the upper potion of the Pleasanotn <br />Ridge Park. <br /> <br />2. The plan is consistent with the City's General Plan. <br /> <br />The proposed lots, with the existing home, are below the General Plan mid-point for <br />the zoning desigation of the site. The proposed clustering is appropriate in that it <br />will preserve more open space/agricultural area toward the rear of the sitw where the <br />property is steeper and more visible from surrounding areas. The property owner is <br />offering approximately one acre toward the rear of the site to the EBRPD so that the <br />trail to the Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park can be completed. This dedication <br />wou1d be consistent with the General Plan. <br /> <br />3. The plan is compatible with previously developed properties in the vicinity <br />and the natural topographical features of the site. <br /> <br />The project site is located in an area which is mainly undeveloped. However, south <br />of the site, various custom and production residential projects have been approved <br />
