PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC-99-68 RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE APPLICATION OF SUMMERHILL HOMES FOR PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPROVAL, AS FILED UNDER CASE PUD-99-05 WHEREAS, SummerHill Homes has applied for PUD development plan approval to allow the subdivision ofa 15.2:!: acre site (2 existing parcels) into 31 lots ranging in size from approximately 11,387 square feet to 7,787 square feet, with an approximately 1.8- acre remainder site with two existing homes located at 1015, 1027, and 1500 Rose A venue; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is PUD-MDR - (Planned Unit Development-Medium Density Residential) District; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission made the following findings: 1. The plan is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general welfare. The proposed project, as conditioned, would be consistent with all applicable City standards concerning public health, safety, and welfare. The applicant will contribute to master planned infrastructure improvements that are needed in order to ensure adequate circulation, water, sewer, and other infrastructure in accordance with General Plan standards. 2. The plan is consistent with the City's General Plan. While the project is within the acceptable range for PUD-MDR (Medium Density Residential) projects of 2-8 units/acre, limitations in water, sewer, access, and storm drain infrastructure improvements create the need to develop the area at the lower end of the General Plan range. Developing the property at the lower end of the density range will preserve the rural character of the area. The project at 2.93 dwelling units/acre is at the lower end of the General Plan range, thus the 31-lot proposal is consistent with the City's policy direction expressed at the time the Medium Density Residential General Plan designation was adopted. The project has been required to contribute to the necessary infrastructure improvements to meet General Plan standards. 3. The plan is compatible with previously developed properties in the vicinity and the natural topographical features of the site.
