Resolution No. PC-2019-01 Page Two A. The proposed vesting tentative subdivision map conforms to the zoning regulations/development plan. For the reasons stated in this report, the Vesting Tentative Map and improvements conform to the PUD development plan and conditions of PUD-116-01 M. The map thus conforms to the zoning regulations/development plan. B. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities. This subdivision would create two new lots with existing dwellings. The existing dwellings are generally oriented in an east-west orientation for southern exposure and provide for passive heating and/or cooling opportunities. C. The proposed vesting tentative subdivision map, together with its design and improvement, is consistent with the Pleasanton General Plan. The proposed subdivision does not include any on- or off-site improvements. The existing improvements have been reviewed and are consistent with the objectives, policies, land uses, and programs specified in the General Plan. The previously approved PUD modification was found to be consistent with the General Plan and the VACSP, and this tentative subdivision map is based on the PUD modification. Staff finds that the tentative subdivision map is compatible with the objectives, policies, land uses, and programs specified in both the General Plan and VACSP. D. The subdivision site is physically suitable for this type and density of development. The proposed subdivision does not include any on- or off-site improvements beyond those existing on-site today. The subdivision would create two lots: one lot containing an existing main dwelling unit and existing accessory structures; and one lot containing an existing caretaker's residence that would become a main dwelling unit and existing accessory structures. The project area is not in a flood zone or earthquake fault zone. The project site has steep slopes, but the future development allowed by the PUD modification (i.e., a 500-square-foot addition to the caretaker's residence), is limited to the flat area next the caretaker's residence and will not require grading. Thus, the subdivision is physically suitable for the type and density of development. E. The design of the subdivision and improvements covered by the proposed vesting tentative subdivision map will not cause substantial environmental damage and avoidably injure fish and/or wildlife or their habitat.
