and units. Buildings and carports are designed to match to existing development as to colors, materials, and detailing. At staff's request, the applicant flipped Building Three by Bernal Avenue placing its entrance stairways facing north and the outdoor patio areas facing south towards an existing building. This change will buffer the patio areas of this building from Bernal Avenue traffic noise and will present, in staff's opinion, the more articulated and varied facade of this building to the street. As required, all new buildings will be designed and constructed to conform to City noise standards. Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance For this proposal, Chapter 17.44, Inclusionary Zoning, of the Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC) states that: ".....15 percent of the total number of units of all new multiple- family residential projects containing 15 or more units..... shall be affordable to very low and low income households. (This) requirement shall apply to both ownership and rental projects." The proposal, therefore, is not subject to the City's Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance. However, to assist the City in meeting its housing goals, Braddock and Logan proposes to designate ten units for moderate income households (120 percent of AMI) and two units for low income households (80 percent of AMI). Staff notes that the 15- percent standard of the Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance will result in 1.8, i.e., 2.0, affordable units for this proposal. The draft Low Income Housing Agreement is attached as Exhibit G. It was reviewed by the Pleasanton Housing Commission at its February 19` meeting and was recommended to the City Council for adoption. Draft minutes of the Housing Commission meeting are attached at Exhibit H. Amenities The tennis court will be replaced with Building One and Building Two. Staff supports the proposal: the tennis court is not used; the existing pool, sports court, and tot lot will be retained; the weight -room will be enlarged and enhanced; and there will be a 30 -year agreement for low- and moderate income rental housing. Residential Fire Sprinkler Systems The proposed buildings are required by Section 903.2.7 Group R of the 2007 California Building Code to be equipped with residential fire sprinkler system. A copy of this section is attached to the Planning Commission's packet as Exhibit E and was also provided to the applicant. The applicant acknowledges this requirement of the building code. Staff has incorporated this requirement in the draft condition s of approval. The accessory structures are less than 5,000 square feet in floor area and are not required to be equipped with fire sprinklers. Item 6.c., PUDM- 84- 21 -04M Page 8 of 12 March 25, 2009
