Page 1 of 7 Item #3 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT January 16, 2024 Community Development TITLE: INTRODUCE AND WAIVE FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AN APPLICATION TO ESTABLISH DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND CONSTRUCT TENNIS COURT FENCING FOR AN EXISTING SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE LOCATED AT 2207 MARTIN AVENUE (PUD-148) SUMMARY The applicant/property owners are proposing to establish development standards for the subject parcel, and are seeking approval to construct fencing around an existing tennis court on the property located at 2207 Martin Avenue. The property includes an existing single-family residence constructed prior to the parcel’s annexation into the city in 1997. Although the parcel is part of an area for which Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning was previously approved, it does not have an approved PUD development plan, which is necessary to establish development standards and uses for any development of the parcel. Approval of the PUD development plan requires review and recommendation by the Planning Commission to the City Council for action. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the project at a hearing on August 23, 2023; and at its December 13, 2023, public hearing, affirmed its recommendation for approval of the project subject to modified conditions of approval. The item is now presented to the City Council for consideration and approval. RECOMMENDATION 1. Find the project is exempt from environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines (CEQA); and 2. Make the PUD considerations for the proposed development plan as stated in the draft ordinance provided as Attachment 1; and 3. Introduce and waive first reading of an Ordinance approving an application to establish development standards and construct tennis court fencing for an existing single-family residence located at 2207 Martin Avenue (Case No. PUD-148), subject to conditions of approval listed in Exhibit A of Attachment 1. BACKGROUND The property at 2207 Martin Avenue is located near the north end of Martin Avenue 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 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 during the 1990s; thus, many of these properties were subdivided and developed in conformance to planning, zoning, and construction standards of Alameda County.
