Resolution No. PC-2019-07 Page Three In addition to stepping with the hillside and the proposed vegetation, the proposed residence has large upper-story building step backs and articulated building design with varied depths. The proposed building forms will help reduce the perceived mass and scale of the residence when viewed off-site. As such, the Planning Commission finds the proposed development has an appropriate scale when viewed on and off the site and will maintain the preservation of views enjoyed by the community. The Planning Commission further finds the architectural style and detailing of the proposed residence is compatible with the existing residence and neighborhood and conforms to the PUD regulations. The design includes downward lighting, sectional, roll-up, wood garage doors, limited quantity of exterior materials, uses earth tone colors, has consistency in window style, incorporates copper gutters, and uses 5:12 roof pitches. Consideration is also given to ensuring mechanical equipment is not visible and incorporated into the building design. The Planning Commission concludes that all of the required Design Criteria can be made to approve the subject application. Section 2; The Planning Commission hereby approves the application for Design Review, P18-0109 as reflected in the plans dated April 10, 2019, to construct a new approximately 7,104-square-foot residence with attached 850-sqaure-foot garage and detached 1 ,200-square-foot Accessory Dwelling Unit on a vacant lot located at 4112 Foothill Road, subject to the Conditions of Approval in Attachment 1, attached hereto and incorporated into this resolution by reference. Section 3: This resolution shall become effective 15 days after its passage and adoption unless: 1) appealed prior to that time by any member of the public, or 2) if a City Councilmember wishes to review the item, pursuant to Pleasanton Municipal Code section 18.144.010, he or she must indicate their desire to review within 15 days following the date of approval, or at the next regular meeting of the City Council, whichever is later. If the majority of the City Council agrees to review the item, a further hearing shall be set pursuant to Pleasanton Municipal Code section 18.12.040 and the Council shall consider the item at that time. e site's natural features, vegetation and topography. The Planning Commission finds that the proposed development considers preservation of the natural beauty on the site and maintains an appropriate relationship to the landscape. The neighborhood includes a mixture of larger rural-residential lots, some of which remain vacant and others that have been developed with single-family homes typically sited with large setbacks and generous landscaping. The Commission finds that the proposed residence with generous setbacks is compatible with the land use pattern in the neighborhood and previously developed properties in the vicinity. The proposed development is sensitive to its hillside setting as the layout of the development avoids flat pad construction, follows the existing contours on the lot, and steps with the hillside. The proposed development will be visible from some vantage points on Foothill Road. However, once the proposed landscaping matures, the home will be substantially screened from view and will have limited visibility from Foothill Road. The Planning Commission finds the landscaping is designed to enhance architectural features, strengthen vistas, provide shade, and conform to established streetscape.
