Resolution No. PC -2021-09 Page Two Section 1: Findings for PUD Development Plan Approval With respect to the approval of the PUD development plan, the Planning Commission makes the following findings and determinations with respect to each of the considerations for approval of a PUD Development Plan as required by Section 18.68.110 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC): 1. Whether the proposed development plan is in the best interest of the public health, safety, and general welfare. The Planning Commission finds that the proposed project, as conditioned, meets all applicable City standards concerning public health, safety, and welfare, e.g., vehicle access, geologic hazards (new development not within a special study zone), and flood hazards. The project will not generate volumes of traffic that cannot be accommodated by existing City streets and intersections in the area. The proposed residence will be designed to meet the requirements of the California Building Code, California Fire Code, and other applicable codes. The proposed development plan is designed in conformance with the Pleasanton General Plan designation for this site and all other relevant policies and programs. The project developer would provide all public street infrastructure including water, storm, and sanitary sewer lines. As such, the Commission concludes this finding can be made. 2. Whether the proposed development plan is consistent with the Pleasanton General Plan and any applicable specific plan. The proposed development includes the construction of one new home and the retention of one existing home on an approximately 1.67 -acre lot. At a gross area of 1.67 acres, three units would be the maximum density allowed for this property and the project density would be 1.2 du/ac, within the allowed density. The Planning Commission finds the proposed density of 1.2 du/ac conforms to the General Plan Low Density Residential land use designation with a maximum of two dwelling units per gross developable acre. The proposed project promotes General Plan Programs and Policies encouraging new housing to be developed on infill sites and encouraging the preservation of the existing housing stock. As such, the Planning Commission concludes this finding can be made. 3. Whether the proposed development plan is compatible with the previously developed properties in the vicinity and the natural, topographic features of the site. The neighborhood includes a mixture of one -and -two-story residences with a variety of architectural styles sited appropriately with its lot. As such, the Commission finds the proposed two-story residence with generous setbacks is compatible with the land use pattern in the neighborhood and previously developed properties in the vicinity. The subject lot is flat with mature existing vegetation. As such, the Planning Commission finds the residence is sensitive
