PUBLIC COMMENTS Staff has received two written comments from surrounding neighbors. Mr. David Morns, 324 Adams Way, addressed concerns of view blocking and parking. Susan Alimonti on Carnation Court expressed concerns on parking and traffic. Concerns from both neighbors were addressed in the "Analysis" section of the staff report. Neighborhood Meeting Staff hosted a neighborhood meeting at the Regalia House at Kottinger Village Community Park on January 24, 2008. The main concerns from the residents focused traffic and parking. The neighbors indicated that they have been experiencing in recent years that traffic congestion situation has worsened as new residential developments have taken place. They are concerned that the proposed development would further impact the already congested streets. Additionally, Vineyard Avenue between First and Stanley is concentrated with high-density residential complexes and that many of them do not appear to provide adequate on-site parking as the tenants take street parking as their own. The residents are concerned that the proposed two-car garage for each unit may not satisfy residents with more than two vehicles, which has become a more common situation. As a result, these residents would have to park the extra vehicles on the streets, which would further impact the already inadequate on-street parking. PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN FINDINGS The Pleasanton Municipal Code sets forth the purposes of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) District and the considerations to be addressed in reviewing a PUD development plan proposal. The Planning Commission must make the following findings that the proposed PUD development plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD District, before making its recommendation. 1. Whether the proposed development is in the best interest of the public health, safety, and general welfare. As conditioned, the proposed development would meet City standards for street improvements and utility design. Adequate storm drain, sanitary sewer, and water service utilities are present in the area surrounding the development and are sufficient to serve the proposed development. All on-site infrastructure shall be installed by the project developer with connections to municipal systems in order to serve the site. On- Case No. PUD-71 Planning Commission Page - 12 -
