P24-0278, 2207 Martin Ave. Planning Commission 2 of 8 properties were subdivided and developed in conformance to planning, zoning, and construction standards of Alameda County. On April 1, 1997, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1709 for RZ-97-2, which pre-zoned the subject property to the PUD-LDR District, as part of a larger approximately 34.5-acre area, for a maximum density “approaching” 2.0 dwelling units per acre. The property was annexed into the City of Pleasanton in 1997. On August 23, 2023, the Planning Commission first heard the proposed Planned Unit Development (PUD)-148 application to establish development standards of the R-1-40,000 District to the property at 2207 Martin Avenue, with specific standards applicable to a partially built tennis court in the rear. At the public meeting, neighbors expressed concerns regarding the potential tennis court’s lighting impacts to homes and light pollution, proximity of the tennis court to adjacent residences, height of poles that had been erected, and requests for assurance the tennis court would obtain proper permitting. Tennis court lighting was not included in the project reviewed as part of the PUD-148 approval, although it had been part of an initial application and later eliminated from the plans, in part due to neighbor concerns. At the time of the public hearing, the applicant indicated they had no immediate plans to install lighting, but did not want such lighting to be prohibited. On December 13, 2023, Planning Commission reaffirmed and recommended approval of Planned Unit Development (PUD)-148 to the City Council to establish development standards of the R-1-40,000 District with specific tennis court standards. Tennis court lighting was not explicitly prohibited. Rather, the PUD requires tennis court lighting above eight feet to be subject to Administrative Design Review. The PUD application was introduced to the City Council on January 16, 2023, and adopted on February 6, 2023.
