Planning Commission meeting agenda packet 7-9-25

Amendment to Tract 8724, 0 Vineyard Avenue Planning Commission Page 4 of 11 Construction of the project would require implementation of all Conditions of Approval set forth in the Housing Site Compliance Review approval for the 27-home project. A series of additional conditions are included in Attachment 2 of Exhibit A for the Vesting Tentative Map. Collectively, the project, as conditioned, would allow all the requisite findings for approval of the Vesting Tentative Map to be made. Neighbor Comments and Issues Staff acknowledges and notes previous concerns raised by neighbors with respect to issues including traffic volumes and speeds on Vineyard Avenue, and the ability to make safe turns from side streets. Following the March 26th Planning Commission hearing, the applicant has worked with the Traffic Division to modify the turn lane striping on Vineyard Avenue to better facilitate turning onto and out of Thiessen Street and Manoir Lane. As noted in the findings for approval of the Vesting Tentative Map, the subdivision design would not cause public health or safety issues. PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of this application was sent to surrounding property owners within a 1,000-foot radius of the site. Staff has provided the location and noticing maps as Exhibit B for reference. The public notice was also published in The Valley Times. At the time this report was prepared, no comments were received. VESTING TENTATIVE MAPFINDINGS State law and the Zoning Ordinance of the Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC) set forth the considerations to be addressed in reviewing a Vesting Tentative Map. The Planning Commission must make the following findings that proposed amendments to Vesting Tentative Map 8724 conforms to the purposes of the PMC, before making its action. 1. The proposed vesting tentative subdivision map conforms to the zoning regulations/development plan. The Vesting Tentative Map and improvements conform to the Housing Site Compliance Review development plan (P24-0596) approved by the Zoning Administrator, which in turn was determined to be consistent with the General Plan land use designation for this site, as established in the 2023-2031 6th Cycle Housing Element. The map and improvements thus meet this finding. 2. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities. As approved and conditioned in the Housing Site Compliance Review development plan, the homes in the project will comply with the City’s residential Green Building Ordinance, Climate Action Plan 2.0 and the State’s Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards and would be required to incorporate a series of renewable energy design and energy efficiency features. For this development, the homes will exceed Title 24 state energy conservation requirements and have humidity control systems installed.
