Resolution No. PC-2002-51 Page 2 3. The proposed development plan is compatible with previously developed properties in the vicinity, and the natural, topographic features of the site. Given that Centennial Park and the Senior Center are located to the north of the subject site, the assisted living facility is a good use for the site. The project site is also surrounded by a variety of other uses: a retail center, a lumber supply company, and amulti-family residential project. The proposed assisted living facility would be compatible with the mixed-use chazacter in the azea. In addition, since the subject building would be separated from the adjacent residential uses by more than 250 ft., impacts on adjacent residential properties would be limited. The proposed development would require limited grading for the construction of the buildings and would properly transition with the topography of the adjacent park. 4. The grading 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. Grading will be limited to the building pad, driveways, surface parking, and creation of recreation areas and amenities. City Building Code requirements would ensure that building foundations, on-site driveways, and parking azeas are constructed on properly prepared surfaces. As conditioned, the design of the proposed development would provide adequate drainage to prevent flooding. Bioswales would be constructed to filter pollutants in the stormwater before it enters the stormdrain system. Erosion control and dust suppression measures will be documented in the building permit plan sets and will be administered by the City's Building and Public Works Departments. The property is not located in the Alquist-Priolo Study Zone. According to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Flood Hazard maps, no portion of the site will be affected by a 100-yeaz flood. 5. The streets and buildings have been designed and located in such a manner as 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. Only minor changes in the site's topography will be necessary to develop the site and provide a smooth transition with the topography of Centennial Pazk located to the north of the site.
