Resolution No. PC-2002-46 Page 2 The proposed development plan is compatible with previously developed properties in the vicinity, and the natural, topographic features of the site. The site is flat; grading is limited to such shallow fills as necessary to achieve utility system function. The street system and land use products match the adjoining neighborhoods, and measures have been taken to minimize adverse effects on the adjoining neighborhoods. 4. The grading to be performed within the project boundazies 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. The site is flat with minimum changes in grades proposed. The deep, steeply sloped old quarry pits located to the north and northeast of the site have been analyzed and do not pose a threat to the project in the event of bank failures. The site is outside flood hazard zones. 5. The streets, buildings, and other man-made structures have been designed and located in such a manner as to complement the natural terrain and landscape. The flat site has no constraints to either roads or buildings. The residence are one- and two-story; the apartments two- and three-story. The massing of buildings is appropriate given the adjoining, similaz residences. The curving streets and short culs-de-sac minimize monotony and the appeazance of mass. Significant street landscaping is also proposed. 6. Adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into the design of the plan. The project has incorporated fire safety measures and provides for emergency vehicle access. 7. The proposed plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD District. The project incorporates a vaziety of housing, from senior apartments to smaller, duplex units, small lot single-family and a 9,000-squaze-foot product not otherwise provided in Pleasanton. The PUD process has ensured that the community desires have been fully aired and in large measure met in the planning of the project.
