MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION November 28, 1983 Page 13 PUD-83-23, Richard Parejo Application of Richard Parejo for PUD (Planned Unit Development)-development plan approval of a 9 lot single-family residential development on approximately eight acres of land located at the southeast corner of Amber Lane and Mockingbird Lane. Zoning for the property is PUD (Planned Unit Development)-Low Density Residential District. Mr. Harris presented the staff report. Concerning conditions numbers two and three they could probably be eliminated. He asked that condition number nine be modified to add "...and uses for this development shall be those of the R-1-20,000 District." Commissioner Getty reflected on the Old Towne development and asked whether or not variances would become an issue in the future. She referred to Conditions number five and six. Mr. Harris stated he didn't know whether or not it would become a problem, but the Parejo lots are large and level. Chairman Jamieson indicated that City Council stipulated the size of the homes in Cork Harbour, the Planning Commission did not. Mr. Harris said this is true, their lot sizes are as small as 7500 sq. ft. and have large homes on them. The lot sizes of the subject application are in the neighborhood of 30,000 sq. ft. Commissioner Wilson felt it unwise to stipulate the size of the home. He said to do so would eliminate many couples from buying a nice small home on a very large lot. Commissionerpoherty felt this is a point well made and the developer may be tying his own hands. The public hearing was opened. Mr. Parejo, 6452 Amber Lane, addressed the Commission. He concurs with the staff report. He said this PUD does meet all of the restrictions that the neighboring homeowners want for the area. He said he only has nine lots and he is trying to create a nice atmosphere, but if the City or staff wants to omit those items that is fine with him. They had those conditions put in to show the people in the area they are doing something a little different in Pleasanton to enhance the area. Commissioner Doherty then asked about the ballot which was being circulated by the Happy Valley Homeowners Assoc. concerning minimum lot size, water, etc. He asked of these conditions are in accord with those desires. Mr. Harris stated that Mr. Parejo meets the conditions of the PUD. He asked the staff what the zoning of the surrounding properties were. Mr. Harris stated he wasn't sure inasmuch as they are in the County. Mr. Swift stated that North of Sycamore are one-half acre lots and one acre lots immediately next to Parejo's property. Mr. Warnick stated that the homeowners association had a lot of input concerning the zoning of this property. Chairman Jamieson then asked Mr. Parejo if he desired to have conditions two and three as shown in the staff report. Mr. Parejo deferred to Mr. Harris. Mr. Harris stated the City is not concerned whether or not the houses must be 3200 sq. ft. on this property nor not. Staff does not care whether or not the garages are at 900 angles to the street. Chairman Jamieson felt the developer was locking himself in on the high side of things. Commissioner Wilson then asked Mr. Parejo if he had any idea of the cost of a 3250 sq. ft. house. Mr. Parejo said roughly $500,000. -13- _ __T
