Mr. Higdon indicated that this is a condition from North Pleasanton where actual development agreements say the developers agree to maintain LOS D or mitigate it in some way. . Commissioner Lutz commented that he would support the project because it is a well-designed project, well within the Development Agreement. Chair Barker commented that the added square footage is a function of the economy and that as long as it is at 34% and the Development Agreement allows 50%, the project is well within the impacts considered. The developer has done high quality projects and that the Park is very good at art work. It should not be penalized for what SFWD will do. A motion was made by Commissioner Lutz, seconded by Commissioner Dove, approving Case PUD-80-02-15D, subject to the conditions listed in Exhibit"B". ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: Commissioners Cooper, Dove, Kumaran, Lutz, and Chair Barker None Commissioner Wright None Resolution No. PC 97-60 was entered and adopted approving Case PUD-80-02-15D as motioned. . 6d. PUD-80-02-16D. Parkwav Prooerties. Inc. Application for design review approval to construct two, four-story, 126,315-square foot office buildings ("Sycamore Plaza") located at 6711 and 6721 Koll Center Parkway. Zoning for the property is PUD (planned Unit Development) - I/C-O (Industrial/Commercial-Office) District. Mr. Iserson presented the staff report recommending approval of Case PUD-80-02-16D, subject to the conditions of the staff report. He noted that as with the first project, there was a previous approval on this site that allowed two five-story office buildings with a total floor area of 250,000 square feet. The current proposal would decrease the height of the buildings to four stories and increase the square footage by a little over 2,000 square feet. The FAR for this site is 46%, but the Park's overall FAR would be 34%, well below the allowed 50%. While 46% is over the midpoint of the office density range suggested by the General Plan, it allows aFAR of over 35 % if there are mitigations built into the project, which is true for this project. There are enough parking spaces to support this project, with the same universal-size stalls as the first project. Chair Barker inquired how long a Sycamore tree lives. Mr. Iserson replied that Sycamore trees can live up to a hundred years if they are properly cared for. An arborist looked at the tree when the first project was approved several years ago, and developed a tree report with recommendations. . Page 6 July 23, 1m Planning Commission Mlnntes
