RZ-97-01. Citv of Pleasanton Request for a Planned Unit Development Prezoning to the PUD (Planned Unit Development) . LDR (Low Density Residential) district of approximately 34.5 acres of property located at 2201, 2207, 2215, 2221, and 2313 Martin Avenue, and 3547, 3711, 3737, 3747, and 3757 Trenery Drive. Mr. Iserson presented the staff report on the request for a Planned Unit Development Prezoning to the PUD (Planned Unit Development) - LDR (Low Density Residential) district of approximately 34.5 acres of property located at 2201, 2207, 2215, 2221, and 2313 Martin Avenue and 3547,3711, 3737,3747, and 3757 Trenery Drive. This process was initiated by the City Council at the request of the nine property owners to start the process to annex to the City of Pleasanton; it must be prezoned in conformance with the General Plan. The eleven properties and nine property owners are listed in the staff report. This is a semi-rural area with large lots and most have single family homes on them. There are a number of residential developments approved and being constructed around this area. The developers have improved city streets in the area. The preference of the property owners is to rezone this property as PUD-LDR. There is no development plans for this area; they simply want to prezone the area and establish a density. The property owners will probably come back individually to propose specific development plans for their properties. Options in prezoning are: a R-I-20 District (a 20,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size, with 2 units to the acre), R-I-40 (one unit to the acre, 40,000 sq. ft. lots), and PUD-LDR. Staff feels the PUD-LDR is most appropriate for this area since there are already established homes on the lots, there are some special considerations which will be needed in terms of developing a development pattern, and the PUD zoning would allow the most flexibility to the property owners in retaining their existing homes and allowing for new lots and streets. The development pattern in this area offers a mix of lot sizes- -from two units per acre to less than one unit per acre. The property owners would like the Commission to establish a 2 unit per acre density maximum. Staff is suggesting that the Commission also recommend to the Council a maximum density of up to two units per acre. Staff does not recommend that the PUD be required to have additional amenities; there are sufficient parks, trails, etc. in the area. Since publication of the staff report, staff has received comments that some Trenery Drive residents are requesting that no new streets be connected to Trenery Drive from any new developments and the lots on Trenery Drive be at least one-half acre parcel size. Staff feels that it may be premature, and it is unlikely that any new developments would be able to connect to Trenery. Without making it a condition, staff would rather the Commission make a recommendation that no street connect to Trenery Drive. Staff notes that a number of lots on Trenery are between one-half and one acre in size. Planning Commission Minutes Page 10 February 12, 1997
