Green Building Measures The proposed home is more than 2,000-square-feet in size and, therefore, is required to comply with the City's Green Building Ordinance. As proposed, the project would exceed the minimum points required for new homes; 66 points proposed when a minimum of 50 is required by the PMC. Noise Noise levels with construction of one new single-family home will not change substantially from those currently experienced in the area, and would be required to conform with the City's noise ordinance. Ambient noise levels could decrease for some of the adjacent properties due to the shielding of traffic noise by the proposed fencing and building. Short-term construction noise would be generated during any new construction. In residential neighborhoods, the City allows construction hours from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Construction equipment would be required to meet DMV noise standards and be equipped with muffling devices. PROJECT SITE ALTERNATIVES As outlined in the above analysis, staff believes the projects density, development standards, architecture, site design, and landscaping, as proposed and conditioned, would be compatible with the other homes in the vicinity and not create adverse impacts, and recommends the Planning Commission recommend approval of the project to the City Council as proposed and conditioned. However, alternatives to the proposal that could be considered by the Planning Commission include: 1. Recommend denial of the project to the City Council; or 2. Recommend approval of the PUD development plan with modifications. The Planning Commission could recommend approval of the project with modifications to the development standards, architecture, landscaping, or other site improvement changes. Since staff believes the project will not adversely impact any properties or the surrounding area, and the project has been designed to be compatible with the existing homes in the neighborhood, staff recommends neither of the two project alternatives above be pursued. PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATIONS The Pleasanton Municipal Code Section 18.68.110 sets forth the purposes of the Planned Unit Development District and considerations to be addressed in reviewing a PUD development plan. These purposes and considerations are set forth in the draft Resolution included as Exhibit A, and includes whether the plan is in conformance with the City General Plan, in the best interest of public health, safety, and general welfare, and whether the plan would be compatible with developed properties in the vicinity. As described in Exhibit A, and based on the information and analysis provided in this Agenda Report, staff recommends the Commission make the required findings to recommend approval of the project. PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of this application was sent to surrounding property owners and tenants within a 1,000-foot radius of the site.
