Resolution No. PC-2023-14 Page Two The Planning Commission finds the proposed development plan, as conditioned, meets all applicable City standards concerning public health, safety, and welfare, e.g., vehicle access, geologic hazards (new development not within a special study zone), and flood hazards. The proposed development plan will not generate volumes of traffic that cannot be accommodated by existing City streets and intersections in the area. The proposed development plan is designed in conformance with the Pleasanton General Plan designation for this site and all other relevant policies and programs. Any additional development on the subject parcel will be designed to meet the requirements of this development plan, the California Building Code, California Fire Code, and other applicable codes. As such, the Planning Commission concludes this finding can be made. 2. Whether the proposed development plan is consistent with the Pleasanton General Plan and any applicable specific plan. The proposed development plan includes establishing development standards of the R-1-40,000 District, site-specific development standards for sports courts, and retention of the existing single-family residence on an approximately 1.67-acre lot. The Planning Commission finds the existing single-family residence and lot size conforms to the General Plan Low Density Residential land use designation with a maximum of two dwelling units per gross developable acre. The Planning Commission finds that the site-specific development standards for sports courts minimize intrusions into existing neighborhoods. The proposed development plan promotes General Plan Programs and Policies encouraging the preservation of the existing housing stock and preserving and enhancing the character of existing residential neighborhoods. As such, the Planning Commission concludes this finding can be made. 3. Whether the proposed development plan is compatible with the previously developed properties in the vicinity and the natural, topographic features of the site. The neighborhood includes a mixture of one-and-two-story residences with a variety of architectural styles sited appropriately with its lot. The proposed development standards would be consistent with those for those allowable within the R-1-40,000 zone, which are appropriate for the existing 1.67-acre lot, and compatible with the land use pattern and existing developed properties in the vicinity. With consideration to existing accessory structures in the vicinity, the proposed sports court development standards are compatible with previously developed properties and established development standards of surrounding Planning Unit Development Districts. The subject parcel is flat with mature existing vegetation. As such, the Planning Commission finds the existing single-family residence is sensitive to the existing trees and vegetation on-site. The Planning Commission concludes this finding can be made.
