Resolution No. PC-2000-23 Page 2 Road/Canyon Way intersection. All proposed development, including public street infi'astructure avoids the Alquist-Priolo Study Area of the Calaveras earthquake fault. 2. The proposed development plan is consistent with the City's General Plan. The Kolb property is covered by the following land use designations of the Pleasanton General Plan: Low Density Residential (< 2.0 du/ac), Retail/Highway/Service Commercial, Business and Professional Offices; Public Health and Safety; and Wildlands Overlay. The location and configuration of the proposed development is in conformance to the Pleasanton General Plan for these land uses. Measures are also incorporated into the proposed project to minimize the visual impacts of the proposed project to Foothill Road and Dublin Canyon Road. The Retail/Highway/Service Commercial, Business, and Professional Offices land use designation applies to Parcel "A", the flat area of the Kolb property bordering Dublin Canyon Road. The applicants propose an assisted senior care facility on this proposed parcel based upon the very low trip generation rates for this type of use, thereby minimizing the anticipated traffic impacts to the nearby Foothill Road/Dublin Canyon Road/Canyon Way intersection. The Public Health and Safety and Wildlands Overlay land use designations would apply to the areas of the Kolb property featuring existing slopes in excess of a 25% average slope grade, oak tree groves, the Alquist-Priolo Study Area of the Calaveras earthquake fault facing Foothill Road, and the existing creek area separating the Kolb property from Knoll park. The proposed development plan is compatible with previously developed properties located in the vicinity of the plan. The proposed project has incorporated numerous provisions to integrate the design of the streets and future homes with the existing character of the site and surrounding area. Proposed public streets have been situated in a manner which is consistent with City standards, which completes the street pattern established with the Preserve development, and which provides two points of access to the proposed development and to the Preserve development for access and/or emergency vehicle access purposes. Substantial tree planting is required to be installed by the project developer in order to buffer views of the proposed homes from 1-580 freeway and from the 1-580/Foothill Road. Measures have been included that would achieve a compatible interface between the proposed lots and the affected Preserve lots.
