D <br />Pleasanton, CA. 94566 <br />Subject: P26-0136, 2986 Liberty Drive <br />Single-Family Design Review for the proposal to construct an approximately 816- <br />square-foot single- and two-story addition on the west elevation of the residence. <br />Effective Date: March 30, 2026 <br />Dear Mr. Hereld: <br />On March 18, 2026, the Zoning Administrator (ZA) approved the above-referenced application. <br />In making this decision, I, as the ZA, was required to make the following findings: <br />Finding 1: The project’s approval is in the best interest of public health, safety, and <br />general welfare. <br /> <br />I found the proposed project was in the best interest of public health, safety, and general <br />welfare. The addition represented a compatible reinvestment in an existing single-family <br />residence and did not introduce any conditions that would be detrimental to surrounding <br />properties or the neighborhood. <br /> <br />Concerns related to building intensity, proximity to adjacent homes, and potential <br />overdevelopment are mitigated by the project’s compliance with and, in some instances, <br />exceedance of objective development standards prescribed by the Pleasanton Municipal <br />Code (PMC), including setbacks, height limitations, and floor area ratio, all of which are <br />specifically intended to ensure adequate separation between structures, access to light and <br />air, and neighborhood livability. <br /> <br />Additionally, the project did not introduce unsafe conditions, and all construction will be <br />required to comply with applicable building and fire codes. Conditions of approval have <br />also been applied to the project to ensure the applicant adheres to strict construction <br />hours, meets noise standards, controls dust to the extent feasible, and maintains the site <br />neat and litter-free for the duration of construction. <br />Therefore, this finding can be made.
