BACKGROUND The subject lot is located on the center south side of Trenery Drive 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 single-family 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 with Alameda County's planning, zoning, and construction standards. 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 acre2. The property was formally annexed into the City of Pleasanton in 1998. City Council approved PUD -97 (2201 Martin Avenue) in 2003, and more recently, PUD -140 (2207 Martin Avenue) and PUD -141 (2215 Martin Avenue) in October 2021. All three properties, which are north of the subject site, included similar proposals to establish development standards and uses for construction of one- and two-story homes and related site improvements. The subject property is one of two remaining vacant lots in the Mohr -Martin area without an approved development plan (3707 Trenery Drive is the other remaining lot). SITE AND AREA DESCRIPTION The subject property is a flat, 1 -acre vacant site (see Figures 1-3). There are three trees less than six inches in diameter at the rear, two fruit trees on the west side, and three bushes on the northwest corner of the lot. Single-family homes are located north, across Trenery Drive, and to the east, south, and west of the subject site. Existing houses in the area are one- to two -stories and sited appropriately with their respective lot size. 2 The Agenda Report for this item clarifies the allowable density as "maximum density approaching 2 du/ac (i.e. 1.999 ... du/ac) PUD -144, 3747 Trenery Drive Planning Commission 2 of 9
