Resolution No. PC-2024-13 Page Two Section 2: Findings for PUD-18-07M With respect to the Planned Unit Development application, PUD-18-07M, the Planning Commission makes the following findings and determinations with respect to each of the considerations for approval of a PUD Development Plan as required by Section 18.68.110 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC): 1. Whether the proposed development plan is in the best interest of the public health, safety, and general welfare. The Planning Commission finds that the proposed project, as conditioned, meets all applicable City standards concerning public health, safety, an d welfare. The project will not generate volumes of traffic that cannot be accommodated by existing City streets and intersections in the area. The proposed addition will be designed to meet the requirements of the California Building Code, California Fire Code, and other applicable codes. As such, the 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 includes the subdivision of the approximately 4.41-acre subject parcel into two lots measuring approximately 44,237 square feet (Lot 1) and approximately 17,123 square feet (Lot 2). The Planning Commission finds the proposed density conforms to the General Plan Low-Density Residential land use designation which allows a maximum of two dwelling units per gross developable acre. The resultant density with the proposed subdivision would be approximately 1.41 dwelling units/acre, which is within the maximum allowed density. The proposed project promotes General Plan Programs and Policies encouraging new housing to be developed on infill sites and encouraging the preservation of the existing housing stock. As such, the Commission concludes that 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 proposed project is consistent with the neighborhood in that it maintains the approximately 1-acre lot and farmhouse style of the existing residence. Any future development of Lot 2 will conform to the PUD-18 Estate Lot standards, thus maintaining the streetscape of Mohr Avenue. As such, the Commission finds that the proposed addition to the residence on Lot 1 and the development standards for Lot 2 are compatible with the land use pattern in the neighborhood and previously developed properties in the vicinity. The subject lot is relatively flat with limited mature existing vegetation, which will not be removed for the addition. As such, the Planning Commission finds the residence is sensitive to the existing trees and vegetation on- site. 4. Whether grading in conjunction with the proposed development plan takes into account environmental characteristics and is designed in keeping with the best Docusign Envelope ID: 7FA835AA-907F-44E8-8602-4A3F13DD08A0
