Resolution No. PC-2002-56 Page 2 Project construction would involve site grading and alteration of existing topography to accommodate building pads, public streets, and the golf course. The results of the geologic/soil study submitted in conjunction with the original PUD development plan indicated that the overall site is suitable for the development types covered by this subdivision. Some existing drainage courses would be altered as a result of the overall development. These alterations have been reviewed and approved by the appropriate Federal and State permitting agencies. A seismic setback area would be recorded over several lots. Proposed grading would be designed to reflect existing topography. The design of the subdivision and improvements covered by the proposed vesting tentative subdivision map will not cause substantial environmental damage and avoidably injure fish and/or wildlife or their habitat. Grading has been designed to reflect existing topographic conditions, minimize impacts on adjoining properties, and to be consistent with the requirements and geotechnical report recommendations that have been prepared for the proposed project. Adequate access is provided to all lots and structures for police, fire, and other emergency vehicles. Detention ponds would be provided to pre-treat stormwater runoff before entering downstream creeks, azroyos, and then, ultimately, Alameda Creek and San Francisco Bay. Permits for wetlands mitigation, streambed alteration, open space preservation, and special studies species azea have been issued to the City for this development. 4. The design of the proposed subdivision is not likely to cause serious public health problems. The proposed project, including the recommended conditions of approval, meets all applicable City standards pertaining to public health, safety, and welfare, e.g., vehicle access, geologic hazazds, and flood hazards. Land is being set aside for City ownership, protected by the necessary conservation easements, preserving special status species. In conjunction with this project, the City will construct new public infrastructure consisting of storm and sanitary sewer lines, and a public sewer lift station. New wetland mitigation areas will be introduced in hillside azeas to be owned and maintained by the City. 5. The design of the subdivision or its related improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision.
