Resolution No. PC-99-20 Page 3 Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) indicate that the development will be located outside of the 100 flood level. Streets and buildings have been designed and located to complement the natural terrain and landscape. The project site is in a developed area of the City and would not involve the extension of any new public streets. As an urban, infill site, there is little natural terrain in the vicinity. Development of the site complements the natural terrain by making only minor changes as necessary to the site's existing relatively flat topography. Adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into the design of the plan. The on-site improvements associated with this project would be consistent with City design standards. The on-site driveways and drive aisles meet City standards for emergency vehicle access. The building will be constructed to meet the requirements of the Uniform Building Code, including the provision of fire-rated windows on the eastern elevation of the building. The building would also be equipped with an automatic fire suppression system (sprinklers). Adequate access is provided for police, fire, and other emergency vehicles. 7. The plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD District. The proposed PUD development plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD district. One of these purposes is to insure that the desires of the developer and the community are understood and approved prior to commencement of construction. Staff believes that the proposed project implements the purposes of the PUD ordinance, in this case by providing a Downtown office building that is well-designed and sited on the subject property, that fulfills the desires of the applicant, and that meets the City's General Plan and Downtown Specific Plan goals and policies. This PUD process has encouraged public input, and neighborhood conunents have been taken into account. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds that the proposed PUD development plan is consistent with the purposes of the PUD ordinance.
