ANALYSIS Consistency with General Plan and Zoning Land Uses: General Plan The density of any individual parcel must fall within the allowable density range for the General Plan land use designation. The subject property has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Low Density Residential (LDR), which allows a maximum density of less than two dwelling units per gross acre (translating to a density of 1.999...dwelling units per acre) with a mid-point density of one dwelling unit per gross-acre. The existing single-family dwelling unit and proposed development standards of the R-1-40,000 District would be consistent with the low-density designation. The proposal, excluding the applicant/property owners proposed development standards for sports courts, is in keeping with the character of the low density residential and is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Policy and Programs listed below. Land Use: Residential Policy 8: Preserve and enhance the character of existing residential neighborhoods. Program 8.1: Enforce the provisions of the City's Zoning Ordinance and related planning ordinances to maintain the character of existing residential neighborhoods. Program 8.2: Use the City's development review procedures to minimize intrusions into existing neighborhoods. Zoning The site is zoned PUD-LDR, meaning that development standards for the project would be established as part of the related PUD development plan. The zoning for the property does not currently include established development standards (e.g., setbacks, floor area ratio, parking, etc.), and would be determined as part of this application in accordance with the PUD Chapter of the Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC) (discussed later in this report). Site Development Standards (excluding sports courts) Given the existing size of the subject parcel and location of existing single-family residence, the subject parcel generally follows the development standards of the City's R-1-40,000 District, respectively, as shown in Table 1. Any additional development (e.g., additions, accessory structures, fences, etc.) beyond the existing single-family residence and existing accessory structures on the subject parcel would be required to adhere to the development standards established with the proposed PUD development plan herein. Sports Court development standards are excluded in Table 1 below and are analyzed in the ensuing section of this report. PUD-148, 2207 Martin Ave. Planning Commission 8of14
