2. Gated Development Does the Commission support a gated community? Commissioner Olson noted that for a development such as this, he believed that a gated community made sense for the residents, who preferred additional home and personal security. Commissioner O’Connor stated that he did not favor a gated community unless it was at a senior community. Chairperson Blank indicated that he did not support any gated developments, which he felt detracted from the open community feel of Pleasanton. 3. House Design Does the Commission wish to make any suggestions regarding the architectural materials used? Commissioner Olsen indicated that he liked the house designs. Commissioner O’Conner would like to see more detailing and “quaintness” added to the homes. He noted that Plan 4 was not as attractive as the other models. Commissioner Blank felt that the Plan 4 design needed to be improved. He noted that the other three models could use more detailing. He also indicated that the placement of the two-story model was important and he would like to know where they would be located in the development. Commissioner Blank indicated that the homes needed to be sprinklered and would like to see more than 50 Green Building points. He requested viewscapes be provided from the neighboring homes. No action was taken. c. PUD-85-09, Sunrise Senior Living Determination that the building permit plans submitted for a two-, three-, and four-story senior assisted-living facility with 132 units is in substantial conformance with the previously approved development plan for a 132-unit two-, three- and four-story senior retirement facility to be located at 5700 Pleasant Hill Road.
