PAGE I OF RESOLUTION NO. 97-02
WHEREAS, the public notice of this action was given in all respects as required by law; and
WHEREAS, a staff report was submitted recommending that the Planning Commission
approve the request; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and consider all reports, recommendations,
and testimony submitted in writing and presented at the hearing; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED that the Town of Danville Planning Commission denies without prejudice the
Preliminary Development Plan - Rezoning request PUD 96-07 and Final Development Plan -
Major Subdivision request SD 8043, subject to the conditions contained herein, and makes
the following findings in support of this action:
Given the location of the subject property and its relationship to surrounding existing
developments, the proposed density of the project would lead to a development
which is inconsistent and incompatible with surrounding development patterns.
,
Given the location of the proposed project, the proposed housing units types, and
recommended off-site parking restrictions along Camino Ramon, proposed on-site
parking will not be adequate and will result in parking impacts within the project and
to surrounding neighborhoods.
The proposed project lacks central recreational and open space amenities as
encouraged by the Town's 2005 General Plan.
There is no justification for authorizing the proposed density of the project, near the
top of the allowable density range, as the project does not offer counter balancing
project amenities, or special improvements or features in return for the proposed
density.
Project density and design and proposed setbacks from Camino Ramon will create
an undesirable "canyon effect" along Camino Ramon.
