With respect to the Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map application, State law and the Zoning Ordinance of the Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC) set forth the considerations to be addressed in reviewing a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map. The City Council makes the following findings and determinations with respect to each of the considerations for approval of a subdivision as required by Sections 19.20.110 and 19.22.060 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC): 1. The proposed vesting tentative subdivision map conforms to the zoning regulations/development plan. The design and improvements of Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map 8528 closely follow and conform to the proposed PUD development plan. The City Council finds the subdivision map conforms to the zoning regulations and the proposed development plan. 2. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities. This subdivision would create five residential lots for four new homes and one existing home. The future homes would generally be oriented in an east-west orientation for southern exposure and provide for passive heating and/or cooling opportunities. The future homes would be required to comply with the City's residential Green Building Ordinance (provided that they are 2,000 square feet or more in size), which requires that each home achieve a "Green Home" rating on Alameda County Waste Management Authority's "Single-Family Green Building Rating System." Energy efficiency is the cornerstone of every green home. Solar water heating systems, photovoltaic energy systems, and energy efficient windows are some of the possible green features that the future homeowners may choose to achieve the "Green Home" rating. As such, the City Council concludes that this finding can be made. 3. The proposed vesting tentative subdivision map, together with its design and improvement, is consistent with the Pleasanton General Plan. With the approval of the proposed amendments to the NSSP, the proposed subdivision and improvements would be consistent with the objectives, policies, land uses, and programs specified in the General Plan and NSSP. The City Council finds the subdivision is compatible with the objectives, policies, land uses, and programs specified in both the General Plan and NSSP. 4. The subdivision site is physically suitable for this type and density of development. The subdivision would create five residential lots for four new homes and one existing home with lotting configurations and development standards and design guidelines for the future homes and/or remodeled existing home compatible with the existing lots and homes in the neighborhood. The project area is not in a flood zone or earthquake fault zone. Thus, the City Council finds the subdivision site is physically suitable for the type and density of development.
