Resolution No. PC-2002-77 Page 2 2. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities. The PUD addressed energy conservation in a comprehensive manner, incorporating conditions addressing both green building measures and active/passive energy conservation. Passive solar measures are one of the components of the comprehensive energy conservation package included in the project. 3. The subdivision, together with its design and improvement, is consistent with the General Plan. The PUD was found consistent with the General Plan, and this subdivision is based on that development plan. As proposed, the subdivision is compatible with the objectives, policies, land uses, and programs specified in the General Plan and the Vineyazd Avenue Corridor Specific Plan. The subdivision site is physically suitable for the type and density of development. The site is flat, used in the past for grazing. The geotechnical studies have found the site suitable for development with only normal issues for foundations, etc. The planned grading will create minimum slopes to control runoff and allow gravity utilities (sewers, storm drains) to function. Only one, non-heritage tree would be removed in order to allow For the extension of the collector road from the Centex Homes site (PUD- 6) onto this site to provide access onto Vineyard Avenue. The Vineyazd Specific Plan established this circulation pattern for these sites and the potential removal of trees was recognized and mitigated. The design of the subdivision and improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife in their habitat. The on-site wetland azea has been delineated by the Army Corps of Engineers and would be retained. The area immediately surrounding the wetland would be enhanced with native plants to increase its biological value to area wildlife. Conditions are in place to protect nesting raptors and bats. Pretreatment of urban storm water runoff is built into the project's design. Best management practices aze required to minimize construction stage impacts. 6. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems. The subdivision is designed to be served by all City utilities and services at established service levels. Full water and sewer service is included.
