ATTACHMENT 5 PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN MODIFICATION FINDINGS 1. Whether the proposed development plan modification is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general welfare: • The proposed development plan modification will allow a 24 -hour Safeway grocery store, a pharmacy with a 24 -hour drive - through for prescription medications, a drive - through bank, a drive - through restaurant/cafe, and approximately 48,583 square feet of commercial uses and services in seven other buildings. It will allow approximately 588,781 square feet of offices in seven buildings. These uses will provide the availability of goods and services to the nearby residential areas and business parks thereby reducing the cross -town trips to these uses from the nearby areas. • In conjunction with this development, the project developer will re -align the Bernal Avenue with Koll Center Drive to provide complete left- and right -turns between the site and Bernal Avenue and ultimately to northbound and southbound 1 -680. Traffic Impact fees will be paid towards the installation of signals at five other City intersections. The project developer will widen the northbound 1 -680 entrance from Bernal Avenue from one- to two - lanes, and will add a second westbound to southbound left -turn lane from Bernal Avenue to Valley Avenue. These measures will serve to maintain a Level -of- Service D at the City streets and intersections for the existing /approved /project and cumulative development scenarios. • The project will include Green Building measures; will provide for the future addition of photovoltaic electrical panels and charging stations for electrical vehicles; will provide for pedestrian connections to surrounding business parks, residential neighborhoods, and the future City park property; and the on -site pre- treatment of stormwater runoff in vegetative swales before discharge into the City's storm drain system and then to Arroyo de la Laguna. Staff, therefore, believes that this finding can be made. 2. Whether the proposed development plan modification is compatible with previously developed properties located in the vicinity of the plan: • The Bernal Property Specific Plan and PUD development plan already allows the site to be developed with an eight - building office development with a variety of commercial, office, and research and development uses. The proposed development will allow commercial /retail and office uses in close proximity to the nearby neighborhoods and business parks with a variety of goods and services. The commercial /retail component of the proposal provides opportunity for residents to include shopping into their morning/ evening commute thereby not having to drive across town for such goods and services. The employment opportunities provided by the office buildings will augment the City's tax base. Page 1 of 3
