cities to prohibit second units. The Zoning Administrator also mentioned that the City ordinance does not require covered parking for second units and that the City of Pleasanton does not have jurisdiction or govern over private CC&R's. The Zoning Administrator noted that there was no opposition to the proposed PUD modification. On February 6, 2008, appeals were filed by Xin Chen and Frank Nguyen for both the administrative design review and PUD modification approvals. The appeals are currently before the Planning Commission for consideration. II. SITE DESCRIPTION The applicant's property is located at the end of cul-de-sac in the Vineyard Hill subdivision, which was developed in 2005. The "pie-shaped" lot measures approximately 25,328 square feet in area. An approximately 3,650-square-foot detached single-family home is located on the subject property. Detached single-family homes surround the applicants' lot. III. PROPOSED PROJECT Administrative Design Review Application The applicants propose to construct an approximately 700-square-foot, detached second unit near the southeast corner of the lot. The structure would contain a bedroom, bathroom, main/living room area, and kitchen. The structure would be set back a minimum of 10 feet from the northeastern side property line, 14'/2 feet from the southern (rear) property line, 148 feet from the northwestern side property line, and approximately 125 feet from the northern (front) property line. Although the current plans indicate that the structure would be 13-feet tall, the applicants have agreed to limit the height of the structure to a maximum of 12 ft. 3 in. tall (measured from the concrete patio level to the ridge) by lowering the roof pitch from 4:12 to 3.5:12. The applicants have also agreed to lower the patio level on which the second unit would sit by one foot and have agreed to reduce the size of the covered porch to not exceed 250 square feet. The proposed 700-square-foot second unit plus the existing 3,650-square-foot home would result in a 17.2% floor area ratio (FAR) on the approximately 25,328-square-foot lot. An uncovered parking space for the second unit would be constructed on the west side of the driveway. The proposed structure would match the exterior colors and materials of the existing dwelling: taupe-colored stucco walls, cultured-stone and wood patio support posts, single-hung windows with stucco trim, and a concrete the roof.
