PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC-95-52 RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A MAJOR MODIFICATION TO AN APPROVED PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AS FILED UNDER CASE PUD-92-01-1M (NEW CITIES DEVELOPMENT GROUP) WHEREAS, New Cities Development Group has applied for a major modification to the previously approved 40-10t Walnut Glen Estates subdivision approved PUD development plan and design guidelines to increase the maximum floor area ratio on specific lots by 5%, and to reduce the required combined sideyards on one lot from 30 feet to 20 feet; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is PUD (Planned Unit Development) - LDR (Low Density Residential) District; and WHEREAS, at their duly noticed public hearing of August 9, 1995, the Planning Commission considered all public testimony, relevant exhibits and recommendations of the City staff concerning this application; and WHEREAS, the PUD modification request is covered by the Environmental Impact Report approved by the City Council for the Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission made the following PUD findings for the proposed major modification: 1. The modification to the approved development plan is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general welfare: The proposed modification would slightly increase the maximum floor area ratio on 12 -- 30% -- of the 40 lots covered by the approved PUD development plan for this development. The proposed increase, from 25% to 30% on 4 lots and from 30% to 35% on 8 lots, would allow floor area ratios that would still be from 5% to 10% less than a comparable R-l-l0,000 or R-1-20,000 development. Except for Lot 5, previously approved building setbacks would be maintained by the structures allowed by this modification.
