PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC-96-80 RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE APPLICATION OF UTAL PROPERTIES FOR PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, AS FILED UNDER CASE PUD-96-15 WHEREAS, Utal Properties has applied for Planned Unit Development (PUD) development plan approval for a 26-unit townhome project located generally east of the Old Santa Rita Road/Santa Rita Road street intersection; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is PUD (Planned Unit Development) - HDR (High Den- sity Residential) District; and WHEREAS, at their duly noticed public hearing of October 23, 1996, the Planning Commis- sion, considered all public testimony, relevant exhibits, and recommendations of the City staff concerning this application; and WHEREAS, the proposed project is consistent with the scope of the Negative Declaration pre- viously adopted for the now expired project; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission made the following findings: 1. The plan is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general welfare: The proposed development is an infill project which would be generally consis- tent in terms of density and product type with surrounding development in the vi- cinity. The proposed development would meet City design standards for street and utility design. Existing utility systems are in place and have sufficient capac- ity to serve the new units. The plan incorporates measures which would mitigate noise impacts for future residents. Because of limited recreational opportunities for small children of the project, a tot lot and barbecue area have been included. 2. The plan is consistent with the City's General Plan: The construction of 26 dwelling units on the 2.3 acre site would result in a gross project density of approximately 11.3 units per acre. This density is within the General Plan land use designation for the property ("high density residential"). As conditioned, the developer would be required to pay the required low-income housing fee.
