Resolution No. PC-2006-28 Page Four roundabout at Thiessen Street, which will reduce traffic conflicts with users of the future trail on Old Vineyard Avenue. The homes would be required to meet the requirements of the Uniform Building Code, Fire Code, other applicable City codes, and State of California energy and accessibility requirements. Therefore, this finding can be made. 7. The plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD District. The PUD district allows flexibility in creating development standards for unique situations. In this case, the developer was able to tailor the development standards and guidelines to the unique situations presented by hillside terrain, the desire to preserve and protect natural open space, and the desire to limit the amount and type of grading which can occur with individual lots. Staff feels that the development standards and guidelines as proposed and conditioned can accomplish such goals. The proposed development plan takes into account the City's desire to preserve open space and significant vegetation and to reduce grading on hillsides. The developer is proposing to limit the size of the building envelopes and preclude development in the remaining open space. The PUD process also allows for ample input from the public and for an ultimate decision by the City Council regarding appropriateness of the proposed use and development plan. Through the PUD process, the proposed project has provided the developer and the City with a development plan that optimizes the use of this hillside site in a sensitive manner. Therefore, this finding can be made. NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON RESOLVES THE FOLLOWING: Section 1. Recommends approval of Case PUD-54, the application of Greg Reznick, Threehand LP, for Planned Unit Development (PUD) development plan approval to subdivide an approximately 20-acre site into eight lots consisting of seven single-family lots for custom homes and one lot for a City water tank at 5 Windy Oaks Drive (formerly 1680 Vineyard Avenue, in the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan Area, subject to the conditions shown in Exhibit B, attached hereto and made part of this case by reference. Section 2. This resolution shall become effective immediately upon its passage and adoption.
