PUD- 84- 21 -04M <br />PUD Development Plan Findings <br />Addition to the Civic Square Apartment Development <br />4800 Bernal Avenue <br />May 19, 2009 <br />Staff, therefore, believes that this finding can be made. <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />ATTACHMENT 4 <br />The Pleasanton Municipal Code sets forth the purposes of the Planned Unit <br />Development (PUD) District and the considerations to be addressed in reviewing a PUD <br />development plan proposal and proposed modification(s) of an approved development <br />plan.
