Resolution No. PC-01-06 Page 2 The proposed development plan is consistent with the Pleasanton General Plan or with the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan. The Costas portion of the project site is designated by the Land Use Element of the Pleasanton General Plan for Low Density Residential land uses. The Costas property would be subject to the development fees specified for the Specific Plan intended to finance the trails, complete the required infrastructure, and make possible the vineyard concept of this area. In this manner, the development of the Costas property would satisfy the amenity requirement specified by the Land Use Element of the Pleasanton General Plan. The Hahner portion is covered by the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan and is designated by the Specific Plan for a combination of Low Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, Open Space, and Vineyard/Estate land uses. The combined density for the Costas/Hahner properties would be less than the maximum density allowed for these properties by the General Plan and Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan. 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. The proposed development plan is compatible with the natural, topographic features of the site. The proposed grading plan has been designed to reflect the site's existing topographic condition, to minimize impacts on adjoining properties, and to be consistent with the requirements and geotechnical report recommendations that have been prepared for the proposed project. Although the proposed lots are predominantly flat-pad lots, graded areas are minimized. The location and configuration of the proposed public streets generally follow natural contours. The grading in conjunction with the proposed development plan takes into account environmental characteristics and is designed in keeping with the best engineering practices to avoid erosion, slides, or flooding to have as minimal an effect upon the environment as possible. Requirements of the Uniform Building Code would ensure that building foundations and private street/on-site parking/driveway areas are constructed on satisfactorily compacted fill. Erosion control and dust suppression measures will be documented in the final subdivision map and
