Chair Allen voiced her support of this. Relating to stories if someone wanted to come in with a residential project of 30 feet and three stories, she asked and confirmed that the City was not encouraging people to go higher than the stories listed here. Mr. Beaudin said this is correct. Anywhere else in Pleasanton there is the 35-foot height limit and they can put in three stories. This will be unique to the downtown and there will be people who want the extra floor and they will come forward and submit their PUD and the Planning Commission will see it. They will not encourage this but real estate is expensive and that extra floor will be valuable to some people and they will go through the process. Commissioner Brown stated he was okay with Shell service station site as proposed in the agenda report and Commissioner Ritter agreed. Chair Allen said in principle she does not like the idea of changing the process and doing a zoning change in advance of what would be a PUD. For that reason, she will vote "no" on the Shell service station, thinking that in the end, Shell should be residential. She was not in support of having an overlay because the concept feels like it could be a precedent. She just think it sets the wrong standard to do that in advance of having an application and thinks it side-steps the planning process. Commissioner Brown said he thinks staff's point there was that by running the plan as an overlay, it has already been discussed and agreed that residential probably makes sense there, but it will require rezoning at a later date. But, it does not mean they have to go back. They can already see as part of the long list of deliverables that they are modifying the Downtown Design Guidelines and the Downtown Hospitality Guidelines to try and get things aligned. The purpose here was to avoid having to do that at a later date. Chair Allen stated she was going to be flexible on this and voiced support of the Shell service station going residential with an overlay. For Barone's, she did not want any risk of that coming through without a PUD as it is too risky and the land could be used for other opportunities. Commissioner Brown suggested having an annotation that any use that includes residential will require a PUD. Chair Allen stated, and Ms. Clark confirmed, the annotation would say both commercial and mixed use would be allowed and that they would both require a PUD. ACTION: There was unanimous consensus of the Planning Commission to support residential development on the Shell site with an overlay, to have an annotation that would say both commercial and mixed use would be allowed, and that development of either site would require a Planned Unit Development. Commissioner Brown asked, and Commissioner Ritter and Chair Allen agreed, to address LD.P-49 requiring upgrading existing buildings and landscaping on the same property as far as new residential infill projects. Commissioner Brown said he thinks the policy seems to be overly burdensome. Planning Commission Minutes Page 21 of 27 June 26, 2019 26, 2019 (CEQA) process.
