Table 1: Development Standards
<br />The proposed residence on Parcel A is set closer to the rear of the lot. The proposed siting
<br />allows for a large front setback and generous side and rear setbacks, which are consistent with
<br />the R-1-20,000 zoning District in Table 1. The large setbacks are also consistent with the
<br />existing residential streetscape and would substantially mitigate the mass and scale of the
<br />proposed residence when viewed from Dennis Drive. Extensive site improvements such as
<br />new driveway, walkways, porch, trellises, and front landscaping are proposed. The site
<br />improvements and proposed oul.dccr spaces relate well to the neighborhood and are sensitive
<br />to the site's natural features including the existing vegetation.
<br />As shown on the site plan in Exhibit B, the proposed house on Parcel A conforms to the
<br />development standards in Table 1. The existing home on Parcel B conforms to the
<br />recommended development standards; however, there are existing accessory structures on
<br />Parcel B which do not conform to the side yard setback requirements. Those accessory
<br />structures are considered legal non -conforming. Future development on parcel B would be
<br />required to adhere to the development standards established with the PUD.
<br />The Pleasanton Municipal Code does not address guest parking within single-family
<br />developments, but the City encourages, and often requires, on-site guest parking for single-
<br />family projects when there is not on -street parking provided within the project, as is the case
<br />here. The applicant is proposing a three -car garage and includes a generous driveway apron
<br />in front of the garage, 85 feet in length which can accommodate an additional four cars, to be
<br />used by the residents or guests of the home. Overall, staff finds the development standards for
<br />the project would complement the surrounding residential neighborhood. In addition, the site
<br />layout has been designed to be functional, e.g. providing sufficient maneuvering space for
<br />vehicles, and accommodating sufficient room for landscaping; and sensitive to adjacent
<br />residential properties.
<br />Buildinq Design
<br />The proposed residence is a traditionally inspired design. The structure's design and styling
<br />include proportions, materials, detailing, and colors of high quality that are aesthetically
<br />pleasing, and are harmonious with and complement the character of the neighborhood. The
<br />applicant has provided relief to the massing through articulation, roof forms, and window
