Resolution No. PC-93-02 Page 3 The addition has little effect on the neighbor to the rear (north) because the minimum rear yard setback - 13 feet - is most closely located to this neighbor's garage. The addition has been designed somewhat sensitively with only two, second-story windows on this rear elevation which are located towards the eastern end of the house and would have little impact on the neighbor to the north. Mature trees along this common property line (on the Metz property and the neighbor's property) help to screen the second floor of the addition. The proposed addition will not have privacy impacts on the neighbors and because the addition would be constructed in conformance with all applicable Building and Fire Code requirements, the proposed addition will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. WHEREAS, the Planning commission was unable to make the three required findings for the variance to exceed the maximum floor area ratio of 40 percent. NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNXNG COMKXSSXON OF THE CXTY OF PLEASANTON RESOLVES THE FOLLOWXNG: section 1. Approves the variance from the Municipal Code to permit construction of a second-story addition within a portion of the required rear yard for an existing residence located at 1533 Harvest Road. Section 2. Denies without prejudice that portion of the variance to exceed the maximum floor area ratio of 40 percent. Section 3. Recommends that the applicant redesign the plan for the second-story addition and submit the revised plan to the Zoning Administrator for review. section 4. This resolution shall become effective 15 days after its passage and adoption unless appealed prior to that time.
