proposed development as of the time the staff report was written. PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN FINDINGS The Pleasanton Municipal Code sets forth the purposes of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) District and the considerations to be addressed in reviewing a PUD development plan proposal. The Planning Commission must make the following findings that the proposed PUD development plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD District, before making its recommendation. Whether the proposed development is in the best interest of the public health, safety, and general welfare. The proposed development, as conditioned, meets all applicable City standards concerning public health, safety, and welfare, e.g., vehicle access, geologic hazards (not within a special studies zone), and floor hazards. The proposed development is designed to be compatible with the adjacent land uses, as well as the General Plan and Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan designations for this site and all other relevant policies and programs. Full public street infrastructure, streets, water, storm, and sanitary sewer lines are present to serve the proposed development. The developer would be preserving and enhancing the open space area identified on this site. Therefore, staff believes that this finding can be made. 2. Whether the proposed development is consistent with the Pleasanton General Plan. The Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan was developed to implement the City's General Plan for the Vineyard Avenue area. The Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan has been found consistent with the General Plan policies including development outside 100-year flood zone areas, on stable soils, construction of homes, development which respects existing residential neighborhoods, development which does not create traffic impacts, and density consistent with surrounding properties. Based on the analysis contained in the staff report, staffbelieves that, as conditioned, the proposed development is consistent with both the General Plan and Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan. Therefore, staff believes that this finding can be made. Whether the proposed development is compatible with previously developed properties in the vicinity and the natural, topographic features of the site. As conditioned, the proposed development incorporates provisions to provide for a berm in the front of the property along Vineyard Avenue as a buffer from traffic noise on Vineyard Avenue. The natural topography of the rear portion of the land would be Case No. PUD-40 Planning Commission Page - 8 -
