Figure 2 is a photo simulation taken directly in the front of the proposed Lot 1 . Although the simulation reflects initial landscape plantings, versus simulated years of growth, staff nonetheless recommends additional front yard landscape be planted.

Figure 2: View from Sycamore Road, directly in Front of Lot 1 ..4 ' ,- - 3 As directed by the Planning Commission on January 22, 2020, the draft resolution (Exhibit A) reflects a recommendation for approval to the City Council, and a comprehensive series of conditions of approval for the PUD and Vesting Subdivision Map. PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATIONS Section 18.68.110 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code sets forth purposes of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) District and seven separate considerations to be addressed in reviewing a PUD development plan, including whether the PUD development plan would be compatible with developed properties in the vicinity. Based on the deliberation and direction provided by the Planning Commission at their January 22, 2020, meeting, the attached draft resolution recommending approval of the PUD development plan to the City Council includes the required findings of conformance with each of the PUD considerations. VESTING TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP 8528 As a part of the project, the applicant proposes to subdivide the approximately 3.28-acre site into five lots for four new single-family homes and one existing single-family home. A Vesting Tentative Map confers a vested right to proceed with a development in substantial compliance with the ordinances, policies, and standards in effect at the time an application for the map is deemed complete. Vesting tentative subdivision maps are reviewed in the same manner as regular tentative subdivision maps, with the Planning Commission identified as the body taking final action on tentative subdivision applications. In this instance, however, since the subdivision is being processed concurrently with the PUD, and the subdivision approval is contingent on approval of the PUD, the Council will take final action on both items. Review of a tentative subdivision map is limited to review of its consistency with the PUD development plan and compliance with State-mandated findings. The Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map closely follows and is consistent with the proposed PUD development plan. The Planning Commission must make the required findings that Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map 8528 conforms to the purposes of the PMC, before taking its action. These findings are set forth in the Draft Resolution included as Exhibit A. PUD-135, P19-0030, P19-0031 and Vesting Tentative Map 8528 Planning Commission 990 Sycamore Road 5 of 6 total maximum building area of 5,780 square feet.
