Mr. Brozosky asked about the situation where if a pv device was flat on a <br />residential roof there would be no notification necessary, but if it were placed in a yard, <br />but not seen by an outside resident, would there be the notification requirement. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift said he felt it would fit the no notification category. Whether it is <br />zoned R-1 or PUD with an R-1 overlay, it should be the same. The basic design review <br />section for pv requires a short form approval process for panels that are mounted flat on a <br />roof surface of a home, second unit, patio cover, trellis, carport, etc. It does not cover the <br />example of a free standing facility. <br /> <br /> Ms. Hosterman said this was highly scrutinized by members of the PEC and <br />Planning Commission. It does allow environmentally cleaner facilities within <br />Pleasanton; will enable Pleasanton businesses to generate their own electricity, creates <br />noise standards and supports cleaner facilities, and restricts facilities that could have <br />negative impacts. She is confident the Planning Commission will be just as scrutinizing <br />with any project that comes through. If they find for some reason there are holes that the <br />Council has not yet seen, they will catch it. She liked the idea of including the <br />recommendation of staff to consider ways to provide applicants with some type of green <br />building LEED credit for bio-diesel/natural gas proposals for emergency standby <br />generators as an innovation credit. <br /> <br />The public hearing was opened. <br /> <br />There were no speakers. <br /> <br />The public hearing was closed. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brozosky would prefer the noticing requirement be fulfilled by taking out a <br />1/8 page ad in the newspaper, rather than sending postcards. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 26 04/15/03 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
