P23-0563 & Tract 8749, 4400 Black Ave. Planning Commission <br />3 of 12 <br />SDBL separately defines “waivers or reductions of development standards” as a further form of <br />assistance available to developers with eligible density bonus projects. The City is not <br />permitted to apply a development standard that would physically preclude the construction of <br />the project at its permitted density; accordingly, a developer may request such standards to be <br />modified or “waived” accordingly. For most projects, there is no limit on the number of waivers <br />or reductions of development standards that may be requested. Under these provisions, the <br />applicant has requested 27 waivers for the project, which are summarized in Table 2 of this <br />report. Note that SDBL does not require a project to propose density above the maximum <br />allowed to apply for concessions or waivers. <br /> <br />Site Area and Description <br />The project site is a relatively flat, approximately 2.59-acre parcel located on the south side of <br />Black Avenue (Figure 1). The surrounding land uses are as follows: to the north, across Black <br />Avenue is Amador Valley Community Park, including the Delores Bengston Aquatic Center <br />and Pleasanton Cultural Arts Center; to the south Amador Valley High School sports fields; to <br />the east, general commercial offices; and to the west, Lynnewood United Methodist Church <br />and additional commercial offices. <br /> <br />Figure 1: Aerial Photograph <br />
