Tract 8676, 2025 Santa Rita Road Planning Commission Page 3 of 6 DISCUSSION Review of a tentative map is limited to reviewing its consistency with the approved Design Review project and compliance with State-mandated findings. The Vesting Tentative Map is consistent with the Design Review project approved by the Zoning Administrator, including in the following key aspects: • The layout of three internal streets, project vehicular access points and buildings is consistent with the Design Review application. Construction of the project would require implementation of all Conditions of Approval set forth in the Design Review approval for the 42-unit Harmony Condominiums project, and a series of additional conditions are included in Exhibit A of Attachment 1 for the Vesting Tentative Map. Collectively, the project, as conditioned, would allow all of the requisite findings for approval of the Vesting Tentative Map to be made. PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of this application was sent to surrounding property owners within a 1,000-foot radius of the site. Staff has provided the location and noticing maps as Exhibit D for reference. The public notice was also published in The Valley Times. At the time this report was prepared, no comments were received. VESTING TENTATIVE MAP FINDINGS State law and the Zoning Ordinance of the Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC) set forth the considerations to be addressed in reviewing a Vesting Tentative Map. The Planning Commission must make the following findings that Vesting Tentative Map 8676 conforms to the purposes of the PMC, before making its action. 1. The proposed vesting tentative subdivision map conforms to the zoning regulations/development plan. The Vesting Tentative Map and improvements conform to the Design Review development plan (P23-0332) approved by the Zoning Administrator, which in turn was determined to be consistent with the General Plan land use designation for this site, as established in the 2023-2031 6th Cycle Housing Element.1 The map and improvements thus meet this finding. 2. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities. 1 Pursuant to Government Code 65589.5(j)(4), a proposed housing development is not inconsistent with the applicable zoning standards and criteria, and shall not require a rezoning, if the housing development project is consistent with the objective general plan standards and criteria but the zoning for the site is inconsistent with the general plan. In this instance, since the City has not yet enacted re-zoning for this and other housing element sites, consistency is evaluated against the General Plan, not the zoning ordinance.
