Staff also supports the Planning Commission's recommended condition requiring fire sprinklers in the homes. PUBLIC COMMENTS Kevin Close, resident at 871 Sycamore Road, spoke in opposition at the Planning Commission. Mr, Close did not believe the density meets the Happy Valley Specific Plan Semi-Rural Resi- dential density, that the proposal meets the required maximum of 50-percent structure-to-lot- width requirement, and that there is adequate neighbor separation. As previously mentioned, the PUD-99-07 was approved with somewhat smaller lot size and lot dimensions than those specified in the Specific Plan in order to reduce significant grading. The proposed side yard setback is in conformance to those specified in the Specific Plan. Staff be- lieves that reduced front yard setback could be mitigated through building design and that such flexibility is allowed by the Specific Plan on a project-specific basis, PUBLIC NOTICE Notices of the City Council's public hearing on this item were sent to the homeowners located in the Happy Valley Specific Plan area and within 1,000-feet of the subject property including homes surrounding Callippe Preserve Golf Course. Staff has not received any additional verbal or written comments pertaining to the proposed project as of the time the staff report was writ- ten. PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN FINDINGS The Pleasanton Municipal Code sets forth the purposes ofthe Planned Unit Development (PUD) District and the considerations to be addressed in reviewing a Pun development plan proposal or modifications of an approved development plan, The proposal establishes design guidelines and requests to change review procedures of the future house designs; it would not involve a change in density, lotting, etc. Therefore, staff believes that the proposed modification would be covered by the previously approved development plan findings. FISCAL IMPACT The proposed modification would have a negligible financial impact on the City. SR:06:271 Page 8
