The Commission indicated amenities should be required for a specific plan amendment
<br /> for any additional density. The Commission agreed that the amenities could be in the
<br /> form of funding City projects such as in the bike and pedestrian master plan that deal
<br /> with connectivity, especially in south Pleasanton area. The Commission encouraged the
<br /> applicant to work with staff on finding amenity contribution.
<br /> 3. If the proposed specific plan amendment is supportable, does the Commission support
<br /> staffs other recommendations with respect to the project including:
<br /> a. Requirement for PUD-LDR lots to conform to a 15,000-square-foot minimum;
<br /> b. Reduction of proposed FARs to be more consistent with adjacent development;
<br /> c. Regrading of the site to make future pad heights more compatible with adjacent
<br /> lots;
<br /> d. Modifying the trail design to be a minimum 12-foot wide, multi-use facility,
<br /> consistent with the existing trail.
<br /> The Commission supported the lots fronting Sycamore Creek Way to have a lot size in
<br /> the range of 14,000 — 15,000 square feet, the future homes to have similar setbacks,
<br /> floor area, and height as the existing homes in the neighborhood. The Commission
<br /> agreed the pad heights of the new lots need to be compatible with adjacent lots, and
<br /> excessive soil from project grading needs to be off hauled instead of stockpiling it on the
<br /> project site. Regarding the trail, the Commission concurred with staff 's recommendation
<br /> to match the existing trail and did not have additional comments.
<br /> 4. What other information would assist the Planning Commission in its decision on the
<br /> proposed project (e.g., additional photo simulations, additional technical reports or other
<br /> information)?
<br /> Commission indicated that they would like to see a detailed visual where the exact
<br /> building elements would be located and visible along Sycamore Road; a streetscape
<br /> visual to assist in understanding FAR, and appropriate setbacks in respect to Sycamore
<br /> Creek.
<br /> Changes Since July 2018 Work Session
<br /> Land Use Designation and Zoning Category of the Site
<br /> Staff originally recommended that if the property was to be rezoned, that the northern three
<br /> parcels be designated PUD-LDR. This was principally out of concern that the MDR designation
<br /> implies a higher density than allowed under LDR, and might lead a future owner to assume
<br /> that the lots could be further divided. Though the proposed three lots would technically exceed
<br /> the typical two dwelling units/acre (DUA) density allowable in the LDR designation, at the time
<br /> staff felt that an appropriate interpretation could be made to support the designation, using the
<br /> flexibility allowed by the PUD to take the approach of averaging it across the entire site .
<br /> However, upon further consideration and discussion, staff concluded that the Medium Density
<br /> Residential (MDR) designation in fact makes more sense, with a clear Condition of Approval
<br /> prohibiting further subdivision. There is no practical difference in designating the lots LDR
<br /> versus MDR; the requested number of lots, lot dimensions, and so on are not affected either
<br /> way.
