area. Staffhas not received any additional verbal or written comments pertaining to the proposed project as of the time the City Council 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 or modifications of an approved development plan. Because the proposal would further detail the previously approved design guidelines, would change review procedures of the future house de- signs, but would not change density, lotting design, etc., staff believes that the proposed modifi- cation would be covered by the previously approved development plan findings. Copies of the previously approved PUD development plan findings are attached. FISCAL IMPACT Fiscal impacts to the City, e.g., increased costs for services, would be negligible. Benefits would be shortened processing times for the design applications. By reducing processing times, the owners' development costs for their homes, e.g., carrying costs for the land, construction financ- ing, design/redesign fees, etc., would be potentially reduced. CITY COUNCIL OPTIONS The City Council has the following options pertaining to this application: 1. Approve the proposed design guidelines and approve the modified design review procedures: With this option, the custom home designs for the Mariposa Ranch development would be governed by the new design guidelines, and the design applications for these homes would be subject to the approval of the Planning Director/Zoning Administrator. Staff believes that the proposed modification would achieve a high level of design quality for these homes in an efficient and expedient time frame. Under this option, the City Council can approve the proposal as recommended or make any changes that it may determine to be necessary. 2. Approve the proposed design guidelines but deny the modified design review proce- dures: With this option, the custom home designs for the Mariposa Ranch development would be governed by the new design guidelines, but the design review applications would be sub- ject to review and approval by the Planning Commission at a public hearing. Staff be- lieves that a high level of design quality would still be achieved for these homes but that the processing time may take longer. SR 05:092 Page 6 of 8
