conditioned, staff finds the proposal to be consistent with the objectives of the General Plan and zoning district. The Planning Commission may recommend approval, approval with conditions, or denial of the application to the City Council. BACKGROUND The property at 2207 Martin Avenue is located near the north end of Martin Avenue and is part of the Mohr -Martin area, generally defined by Martin Avenue, Mohr Avenue, the former Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way, and Stoneridge Drive. The Mohr -Martin area comprises predominantly residential uses of varying densities and home designs. Many of the properties within the area were originally located in unincorporated Alameda County, but were progressively annexed into the City of Pleasanton during the 1990's. Thus, many of these properties were subdivided and developed in conformance to planning, zoning, and construction standards of Alameda County. On April 1, 1997, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1709 for RZ-97-2, which prezoned the subject property to the PUD-LDR District as part of a larger 34.5 -acre area, for a maximum density "approaching" 2.0 dwelling units per acre'. The property was formally annexed into the City of Pleasanton in 1997. In 2003, City Council approved PUD -97 at 2201 Martin Avenue, the property immediately north of the subject site, which included a similar proposal to subdivide a property into two parcels and retain the existing home and site improvements on the eastern parcel. In addition to the subject applications being considered for 2207 Martin Ave, two other similar applications are forthcoming for the properties located at 2215 Martin Avenue (PUD -141) and 0 Trenery Drive (PUD -142). Staff notes, although similar in scope, these three requests are unrelated applications for three separate properties and property owners. SITE AND AREA DESCRIPTION The subject property is a flat, 1.67 -acre site located between Martin Avenue and Dennis Drive and is developed with an approximately 4,173 -square -foot two-story home with an attached garage built in 1977 (see Figure 1). There are several mature trees clustered in the center of the lot with established landscaping surrounding the existing home. Single-family homes are located north, south, and west and Alameda Flood Control property is located east, across Martin Avenue, of the subject site (see Figures 2 and 3). Existing houses in the area are both one- and two-story and sited appropriately with their respective lot size. The Agenda Report for this item clarifies the allowable density as "maximum density approaching 2 du/ac (i.e. 1.999 ... du/ac). PUD -140 & P21-0079, 2207 Martin Avenue Planning Commission 2of10
