Location and Notification Map STAFF RECOMMENDATION AND SUMMARY At the January 22, 2002, Planning Commission hearing, the Planning Commission directed staff to prepare a resolution recommending approval of the project to the City Council. The following actions are recommended: a. Find that the project would not have a significant effect on the environment; b. Find that the proposed amendments (P19-0031) to the North Sycamore Specific Plan (NSSP) are appropriate and consistent with the General Plan; c. Find that the proposed Planned Unit Development rezoning (P19-0030) and development plan (PUD-135) are consistent with the General Plan and the purposes of the PUD Ordinance, and make the PUD findings as listed in the draft resolution; d. Find that the Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map application meets State law and the Zoning Ordinance of the Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC) and make the tentative map findings as listed in the draft resolution; and e. Adopt a resolution recommending approval of the draft Negative Declaration and Cases PUD-135, P19-0030, P19-0031, and Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map 8528, subject to the draft conditions of approval listed in Exhibit A, and forward the applications to the City Council for public hearing and review. DISCUSSION Please refer to the January 22, 2020, Agenda Report (Attachment D) for background information, site and area description, detailed project description, and staff analysis of the proposed development. As outlined in the Agenda Report, the proposed development requires amendments to the North Sycamore Specific Plan (NSSP) including an amendment to increase the density on the subject site from the NSSP allotted three residential units to five residential units. As indicated in the Agenda Report, staff did not support amending the NSSP to accommodate a five-lot development and recommended the project be redesigned to a three-lot development consistent with the NSSP. After discussion and deliberation, the Planning Commission concluded the proposed five-lot residential development could be supported. In articulating its reasoning for the decision, the Commission noted the proposed three new lots fronting Sycamore Creek Way (Lots 2-4) would be compatible with the lot configurations of the adjacent Sycamore Heights development. For the proposed new lot fronting Sycamore Road (Lot 1), the Commission requested the following information and project revisions when the project returned to the Commission for its subsequent review: PUD-135, P19-0030, P19-0031 and Vesting Tentative Map 8528 Planning Commission 990 Sycamore Road 2 of 6 on unless a request for removal for discussion or explanation is received from the Planning Commission or a member of the public by submitting a speaker card for that item. 1.
