~~Qata ¢ n ~9~~o~~~tion The Pleasanton Heritage Association was asked to review PUD-64. In this review process, the Association utilized the 2002 Downtown Spe- cific Plan and the subsequent 2006 Downtown Design Guidelines. Pleasanton's Downtown Specific Plan and the Downtown Design Guidelines for residential areas stress ... "the importance of reflecting a sense of neighborhood and a pedestrian character that is irreplace- able. Remodels and additions for residential use must be sensitive to Downtown's unique character and scale. If done properly, additions and remodels will look comfortable with the original buildings. New construction needs to be especially sensitive to surrounding structures." PUD-641ocated at 4238 First Street draws on the character of the exist- ing cottage for the theme of the project. The architectural plan for the remodeling of this cottage and the addition of four newly constructed units drew from historic Victorian cottages located in the heart of Pacific Grove, California. The Pleasanton Heritage Association reviewed the details of PUD-64 with thought given to the zoning, lot sizes, building height /density, FAR standards, architectural style, green space /landscaping, color palate, material details, and parking. The plan details submitted for our review provided the opportunity for the following comments: • The specific architectural plans are in keeping with the DSP height and mass recommendations for new construction, • the remodeling of the existing cottage in front is within the DSP Guidelines for that neighborhood and the four new units, • the four new structures vary in size and repeat the same architectural styling, with more detail provided on lots one and five as both are seen directly from the street, • detailed drawings and plans for exterior finish materials were pro- vided and in keeping with the residential architectural style of the that neighborhood, • the color palate was appropriate and varied for each unit to promote
