PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC-99-89 RESOLUTION APPROVING THE APPLICATION OF GARY MONZO FOR DESIGN REVIEW APPROVAL AND A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, AS FILED UNDER CASE Z-99-235/UP-99-56 WHEREAS, Gary Monzo has applied for design review of an approximately 2,178 square-foot first- and second-story addition to an existing residence and a conditional use permit for an attached second unit located at 8023 Golden Eagle Way; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is PUD-LDR (Planned Unit Development - Low Density Residential) District; and WHEREAS, at its duly noticed public hearing of October 27,1999, the Planning Commission considered all public testimony, relevant exhibits, and recommendations of the City staff concerning this application; and WHEREAS, projects of this nature are categorically exempt from the requirements ofthe California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); therefore, no environmental document was prepared for this project; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission made the following findings: I. The proposed location of the conditional use is in accordance with the objectives of the zoning ordinance and the purpose of the district in which the site is located. The request to establish a second unit within the residence conforms with the objectives and purposes of the Municipal Code and the Golden Eagle PUD. State law considers second units as a single-family use. The proposal would maintain the existing single-family character of the Golden Eagle Farm development because the unit is designed as part ofthe home, indistinguishable from the exterior as a second unit. The second unit constitutes 15% of the total house living area. In addition, a recommended condition of approval -- standard for all second units in the City -- requires that either the primary residence or the second unit be owner-occupied and that a maximum of two adults shall be allowed to reside in the unit.
