City of Pleasanton–Spotorno Ranch Reduced Development Project Initial Study/Consistency Checklist Project Description FirstCarbon Solutions 25 https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480021/Consistency Checklist/21480021 Spotorno Ranch Consistency Checklist ScreenCheck.docx would be established at 30 feet for 2-story homes and 24 feet for 1-story homes. As proposed, the maximum height of an ADU could be 25 feet. Based on the number of units proposed and the proposed lot sizes, combined with the proposed dedication of open space, the project density would be consistent with the 1 lot per 1.5-acre standard. The open space dedication is proposed to occur by way of an easement in perpetuity on Parcel C on the Proposed Site Plan. Both 1-story and 2-story houses would be allowed in conformance with the PUD design guidelines. Six of the lots would be restricted to 1-story houses. The locations of these six houses are specified in the design guidelines in order to satisfy the Specific Plan requirement for view corridor protection. The project developer will enter into an Affordable Housing Agreement with the City of Pleasanton which would require each individual owner to construct an ADU with the main house in conformance with PMC Chapter 18 Zoning, which complies with California legislation for ADUs. Consistent with State law, such ADUs are not considered to count against the allowable project density.10 All house sites would be located outside areas with slopes greater than 25 percent, primarily in areas with slopes 0 to 10 percent, with some portions of lots (but not structures) extending into areas of 10–20 percent slope. 2.3.2 - Open Space, Natural Features, and Landscaping The proposed project would include recordation of an easement to permanently preserve as open space approximately 81 acres in the eastern portion of Lot 98, allowing it to continue to be used for agriculture/grazing. It would be designated/zoned A/OS, shown as Parcel C in the proposed site plan, Exhibit 3. An approximately 3-acre parcel (Parcel A) is proposed to be retained by the Homeowner’s Association (HOA) in the western portion of the Spotorno Flat Area. This area contains wetland features that would be preserved from development; a stormwater treatment pond would be created in this acreage to receive waters from portions of the development area and agricultural open space area from the east. The Spotorno Ranch property contains four wetland features: three are located within the proposed open space easement, Parcel C, while a fourth is located within Parcel A, as described above. The proposed project would include landscaping around the home sites as well as on-site trails. New trees would be planted, consisting predominantly of red maple (Acer rubrum), marina strawberry (Arbutus unedo), valley oak (Quercus lobata), white ash (Fraximus americana), and coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia), or similar trees to be defined by the design guidelines. These tree species would require low to medium amounts of water. Additional landscaping would be subject to the design guidelines for the PUD, which would help maintain the rural character of the site and provide a palette of low-water-using plantings, in conformance to the City’s Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (WELO). 10 See California Government Code Section 65852.2(a)(1)(C).
