new fencing, and new accessory structures. The Landscape Plans can be further reviewed in the attached plans, Exhibit B. ANALYSIS Consistency with Zoning District Regulations: The NSSP indicates the PUD-A zoning district is intended to correspond "generally" to the Agricultural (A) District of the Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC) as modified in the NSSP. As such, staff has analyzed the proposal in relation to the Agricultural district in the PMC. However, it should be noted that the PUD district allows flexibility in creating development standards and there may be deviation from the A-district standards, subject to Commission and Council approval. Table 1, below, is a comparison of the development standards in the A-district, proposed development standards, and the proposed project. The proposed development standards for the main residence meet the A-district standards in all respects aside from height and floor area maximum (as detailed further in the Building Design section of this report).

The proposed standards follow that of the R-1-40,000 zoning district rather than the A-district. The subject -1.33-acre (57,738-square-foot) lot is substantially smaller than the lot minimum required in the PMC A-district (i.e., 5-acres) and is much closer to the minimum required in the PMC R-1-40,000-district (i.e., 40,000-square-feet). As such, requiring accessory structures to meet the A-district standards may be overly restrictive for the subject lot and staff recommends following the R-1-40,000 standards. The existing and proposed accessory structures on-site all meet the R-1-40,000 Class I accessory structure standards. The applicant will dedicate 20' of right-of-way in the front of the property as part of this project. The front yard setback is being measured from the new property line/edge of the right-of-way. 2 Combined garage area on the lot exceeding 600 sq. ft. and all other enclosed accessory structures are included in the calculation. This includes existing structures on the site(less 600 sq.ft. of garage). The proposed residence is 5,059 sq. ft. and the proposed garage is 939 sq.ft.. a Measured from the average elevation of the natural grade of the ground covered by the structure to the mean height between the eaves and ridges, as defined by the PMC.
