BOX 520 PLEASANTON, CALIFORNIA 94566-0802 December 6, 1994 Mr. Samuel Raber 20 Deer Oaks Drive Pleasanton, CA 94588 Dear Mr. Raber SUBJECT: V-94-21: Variance Request to Construct a Second Unit Outside of a pUD-Designated Building Envelope The City of p1easanton Planning Department has received your application for the above-referenced variance. Your property is governed by a Planned Unit Development (PUD), a zoning designation adopted through a City Council ordinance (Ordinance 1050) with rules and regulations specific to properties covered by that ordinance, as well as by any Municipal Code regulations referenced within that PUD ordinance. It is the PUD regulations and PUD development plan referenced in the PUD ordinance from which you must request relief, since it is these documents which specify the location of the one building envelope for your lot and the regulations under which your lot and all lots within the PUD may be developed. Therefore, the application which you must make is for a "Planned Unit Development Major Modification", not a variance. The fee for such an application is ($2,000). Variances are applicable for "straight-zoned" properties, i.e. those which are governed exclusively by the Pleasanton Municipal Code and !l21 by development standards which are unique to a particular PUD. A property-owner may request relief from those regulations listed in the Municipal Code by applying for a variance. Variances can be granted ~ for deviations from the allowed site development standards (such as setbacks, fence heights, etc.), and only when the City finds that there are unusual circumstances which would make it particularly difficult or impossible for a property-owner to comply with those regulations, and that such circumstances would deny the property-owner privileges enjoyed by others in similar situations. [NOTE: When PUDs reference the development standards listed in the Municipal Code, the variance procedure can be used only if relief from one of thQ&.standards is requested. For example, if a PUD references the side yard setbacks of the R-I-20 zoning district, an individual may apply for a variance for relief from that development standard listed in the Municipal Code.]
