2. After receipt of the DRB approval, the proposal would then be reviewed by City staff following the review procedures set forth in Section 18.20 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code. Having a DRB administer the first stage of design review ensures compliance with the design guidelines as well as a continuity of review among the various house designs, ensuring that the individual design works well within the design ensemble of the surrounding homes. Similar procedures have been successfully implemented in the Ruby Hill development and Mariposa Ranch at Callippe Preserve Golf Course. Planning Commission Notification: The proposed process would create notification to the Planning Commission of the Zoning Administrator's actions on these home designs. Staff recommends the following procedures for each custom home site proposal: Notice of the proposed house design application would be sent to the Planning Commission and to surrounding neighbors. This notice would provide to the Planning Commission notification of the application in the review process. 2. Notification of the Zoning Administrator's action would be forwarded to the Planning Commission with a copy of the approval letter, conditions of approval, and reduced copies of the plan set of the proposed house design including colored building perspectives and building elevations, the floor plans, landscape plans, grading plans, and/or any other design details considered to be pertinent to the proposed design. 3. A 20-day appeal period would be established. This process would provide to the Planning Commission a comprehensive description and analysis of the application and the Zoning Administrator's action allowing a greater amount of time to appeal the project. Grading Plan and Utilities Grading: Grading would be performed for the storm water retention pond and the private road. Cut and fill would be performed to create the turn-around at Lots 3 and 4, however, grading on the individual lot would be done at the time of the development for each lot. The custom-designed lot would follow the design criteria specified in the design guidelines. Utilities: A City sewer main is located at Happy Road and Alisal Road. The proposed development will need to extend the sewer to the site and connect to the City main located at Happy Valley/Alisal Road. Case No. PUD-77 Planning Commission Page-7-
