There are a total of 12 trees on the property which are six inches in diameter or larger in size. Eight of these trees are in moderate to good condition. All of these trees will be removed with the exception of two street trees, a Coast Live Oak tree and a Modesto Ash tree, and a Coast Live Oak tree by the western property line. Photographs of the site are attached in Exhibit E. Adjacent Properties There is a vacant lot to the west of the site which is zoned RM-15, Multiple-Family Residential. To the north is an existing two-story multiple-family development and a two-story single-family detached residential unit. To the east is a two-story commercial/office development, and to the south is a one-story detached single-family residential unit with a recently constructed second unit. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant proposes to rezone the subject site from RM-15 (Multiple-Family Residential- minimum 1,500 sq. ft. lot are per unit) District and Core Area Overlay District to PUD-HDR (Planned Unit Development-High Density Residential) District to provide more design flexibility . The proposed PUD-HDR zoning would be consistent with the Downtown Specific Plan land use designation of high density residential. The applicants propose to develop the property into the following five parcels: 1) a 2,973 sq. ft. lot; 2) a 2,086 sq. ft. lot; 3) a 1,979 sq. ft. lot; 4) a 1,960 sq. ft. lot; and 5) a 2,274 sq. ft. lot. The detached single-family units would each be located on the smaller lots and the two attached multi-family residential units would be located on the largest lot located at the intersection of St. John Street and Peters Avenue. The Pleasanton Municipal Code requires single-family residential developments to provide two parking spaces per dwelling unit. The four single-family detached units would each have two parking spaces, one of which would be a tandem parking space. The two attached multi-family units would also have two spaces each. Storage sheds, approximately 32 square feet in size each, are proposed behind the carports located to the rear of each single-family residential unit driveway. The applicants will apply for a five-lot subdivision subsequent to PUD approval by the City Council. Fencing and Retaining Walls The existing wood fencing on the site will be removed. A new six-foot tall wood fence is proposed by the side and rear yard property lines of each proposed lot, as shown on Exhibit A. By the southern and western property lines the fence is proposed on top of a retaining wall which varies in height from approximately four inches to two feet, thus resulting in a maximum Case No. PUD-37 Planning Commission Page - 3 -
