Resolution No. PC-2021-09 <br /> Page Two <br /> Section 1: Findings for PUD Development Plan Approval <br /> With respect to the approval of the PUD development plan, the Planning Commission <br /> makes the following findings and determinations with respect to each of the <br /> considerations for approval of a PUD Development Plan as required by Section <br /> 18.68.110 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC): <br /> 1. Whether the proposed development plan is in the best interest of the <br /> public health, safety, and general welfare. <br /> The Planning Commission finds that the proposed project, as conditioned, <br /> meets all applicable City standards concerning public health, safety, and <br /> welfare, e.g., vehicle access, geologic hazards (new development not within a <br /> special study zone), and flood hazards. The project will not generate volumes <br /> of traffic that cannot be accommodated by existing City streets and <br /> intersections in the area. The proposed residence will be designed to meet <br /> the requirements of the California Building Code, California Fire Code, and <br /> other applicable codes. The proposed development plan is designed in <br /> conformance with the Pleasanton General Plan designation for this site and <br /> all other relevant policies and programs. The project developer would provide <br /> all public street infrastructure including water, storm, and sanitary sewer lines. <br /> As such, the Commission concludes this finding can be made. <br /> 2. Whether the proposed development plan is consistent with the <br /> Pleasanton General Plan and any applicable specific plan. <br /> The proposed development includes the construction of one new home and <br /> the retention of one existing home on an approximately 1 .67-acre lot. At a <br /> gross area of 1 .67 acres, three units would be the maximum density allowed <br /> for this property and the project density would be 1 .2 du/ac, within the allowed <br /> density. The Planning Commission finds the proposed density of 1 .2 du/ac <br /> conforms to the General Plan Low Density Residential land use designation <br /> with a maximum of two dwelling units per gross developable acre. The <br /> proposed project promotes General Plan Programs and Policies encouraging <br /> new housing to be developed on infill sites and encouraging the preservation <br /> of the existing housing stock. As such, the Planning Commission concludes <br /> this finding can be made. <br /> 3. Whether the proposed development plan is compatible with the <br /> previously developed properties in the vicinity and the natural, <br /> topographic features of the site. <br /> The neighborhood includes a mixture of one-and-two-story residences with a <br /> variety of architectural styles sited appropriately with its lot. As such, the <br /> Commission finds the proposed two-story residence with generous setbacks <br /> is compatible with the land use pattern in the neighborhood and previously <br /> developed properties in the vicinity. The subject lot is flat with mature existing <br /> vegetation. As such, the Planning Commission finds the residence is sensitive <br />the existing trees. <br /> Failure to comply with these requirements may result in a "stop work order". <br /> PUD-140 & P21-0079 Planning Commission <br /> Page 14 of 15 <br />ordation of the map, unspent Acting City Surveyor's fees will be <br /> refunded to the applicant.
