PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN FINDINGS The Pleasanton Municipal Code sets forth the purposes of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) District and the considerations to be addressed in reviewing a PUD development plan proposal and proposed modification(s) of an approved development plan. The Planning Commission must make the following findings that the proposed modification of the previous PUD development plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD District, before making its recommendation. 1. Whether the proposed development plan modification is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general welfare: The proposed project will provide 10 units of moderate income rental housing and 2 units of low- income rental housing for a 30 -year time period. The development as designed and conditioned meets all applicable City standards concerning public health, safety, and welfare, e.g., vehicle access, and geologic hazards (new development not within a special studies zone). Staff, therefore, believes that this finding can be made. 2. Whether the proposed development plan modification is compatible with previously developed properties located in the vicinity of the plan: The proposed buildings are located in a manner consistent with City standards for adequate emergency vehicle access, and are designed and sited to be integrated with the existing buildings of this development. Staff, therefore, believes that this finding can be made. Item 6.c., PUDM- 84- 21 -04M Page 10 of 12 March 25, 2009
