P24-0596, 0 Vineyard Avenue Zoning Administrator 4 of 14 The City has adopted Objective Design Standards (ODS) to implement development consistent with the Housing Element. Objective standards are defined in State Law as “uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant or proponent and the public official.” The ODS are applicable to each of the Housing Element sites and include standards that regulate height, setbacks, massing, site planning, lighting, landscaping and building design to ensure projects will be compatible with their surroundings, attractively designed and landscaped, and minimize impact to aesthetic resources. The project is subject to the ODS. Analysis of the project’s conformance to the General Plan, HOZ District and ODS is provided in the “Discussion” section, below. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed project would include subdividing the southern seven acres of the project site into 27 residential lots ranging in size between 8,513 to 15,591 square feet. Each lot would be developed with a single-family residence, each with one two-car garage, one one-car garage, as well as an ADU. Each single-family residence would range between 3,360 to 3,555 square- feet and would follow one of two floor plan types, while each ADU would range between 611 and 594 square-feet in size. The primary homes would include private open space as well as a porch and patio for each unit. The proposed project would also include common amenities, including a park/open space area located in the northern portion of the project site, adjacent to Vineyard Avenue, which would provide a gathering space, open play turf area, and tot lot. The proposed project would also include a bioretention area located along the northern site boundary. Primary site access would be provided by a new driveway off Thiessen Street, which would connect to an internal roadway system. OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARD (ODS) CONFORMANCE The project conforms to the ODS as further described below. Site Layout & Pedestrian and Vehicular Access The lots will be served by Thiessen Street, Manoir Lane and two internal streets, Street A and Court B. The internal streets are designed similar to Public Streets and provide sidewalks, street trees, and pedestrian-scale lighting per ODS A1.1. Internal sidewalks have a minimum width of 6-feet with 4-foot planters per ODS A3.1. The project will construct sidewalks along its Manoir and Thiessen Street frontages that will provide connectivity to the Old Vineyard Trail per ODS A1.5. Development Standards The ODS development standards require that projects with densities of between two and five dwelling units per acre conform to the R-1-8,500 Zoning District standards, as provided in Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC) Chapter 18.84. The subject site has a specified density range of 3-4 dwelling units per acre. As proposed, and illustrated in the table below, the project complies with the development standards required in the R-1-8,500 district. Standard Required by R-1-8500 Provided by project Lot Size (Min.) 8,500 square feet ~8,888 to ~15,591 square feet Lot Width (Min.) 75 feet 75 feet to ~101 feet Lot Depth (Min.) 100 feet ~113.5 feet to ~177.7 feet
