Parkin The Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC) requires two 10 feet by 20 feet parking spaces on-site for each dwelling unit with one space being a covered space. The applicant proposes to provide wood frame carports for the three existing units and garage parking is proposed for the new residences. The existing units will have one covered and one uncovered space where no covered parking is currently provided. The proposed dwelling units will be constructed with two-car garages. Staff feels that the open design of the carport enables the structure to blend with the existing structures and provides a feeling of openness. Lots 3 and 4 provide attached garages at the front of the proposed residences. They are not visible from the public street of Augustine further enhancing the project design and layout. Site Development Standards In determining the future site development standards for this project, staff used the existing and proposed setbacks and FARs as proposed with the project for the main structure standards. For the standards of future accessory structures, staff reviewed the current RM-15 zoning requirements, the requirements for single family lots (R-1-65), and the individual parcel layouts. This evaluation resulted in lot specific standards being recommended by staff. An average FAR was used to determine the FAR for future development on the lots with small existing homes. Therefore, the lots with proposed FARs that exceeded the current RM-15 standard of 40 percent are not afforded additional FAR to accommodate future additions. Calculating the FAR is based on gross parcel size. The height standards were determined by evaluating the proposed structures, the heights of the existing structures, and the heights of the surrounding homes which range in height from 14 feet to approximately 27 feet tall. Staff is recommending that the existing.homes on Lots 1 and 5 be allowed to extend to 24 feet in height. The additional height for future development will allow the future property owner to design an attractive addition or new home, while still providing an acceptable transition in heights from the neighboring homes. The resulting lot sizes, house sizes, and floor area ratios (FARs) are as follows: Table 2.1 Item 6. a., PUD-72, Raney Page 7 of /3 Planning Commission
