< PLANNING COHKISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC-92-l3 RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF CASE PUD-91-10, THE APPLICATION OF RED BEAR, INC. WHEREAS, Red Bear, Inc. has applied for planned unit development (PUD) rezoning and development plan approval to construct a 22-unit senior apartment development on an approximately 0.66 acre site located at 443-465 Division street; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is R-1-6,500 (Single-family Residential) District; and WHEREAS, at their duly noticed hearing of February 12, 1992, the Planning Commission, after considering all public testi- mony, relevant exhibits, and recommendations of the city staff concerning this proposal, recommended approval of the proposed negative declaration for Case PUD-91-10; and WHEREAS, the Planning commission makes the following findings: 1. The plan is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general welfare: The proposed subdivision would meet City standards for street and utility design. The project incorporates several mitigation measures designed to offset the impacts of the proposed development on surrounding properties (including retention of mature trees, ample new landscaping, fencing, and orientation of units). The project would also provide affordable housing for seniors. 2. The plan is consistent with the City's General Plan: The proposed project, as conditioned, conforms to the General Plan standards for density and site development. The project would be consistent with the "high density residential" land use designation for the property. The proposed gross density (33 units per acre) would exceed the mid-point of 15 units per acre on which General Plan buildout is based. However, the higher density is offset by the fact that the project would provide housing for an identified segment of the population in need (i.e. low income seniors) and would help the City meets its regional fair share goals for affordable housing.
