intersections in the area. The structures would be designed to meet the requirements of the California Building Code, California Fire Code, and other applicable City codes. The proposed development is compatible with the adjacent uses and would be generally consistent with the existing scale and character of the area. Adequate setbacks would be provided between the new dwellings and the existing structures on the adjacent properties. Therefore, the proposed PUD development plan is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general welfare. 2. Whether the proposed development plan is consistent with the Pleasanton General Plan and applicable specific plan: The proposed development includes the removal of the existing residence and accessory buildings and construction of a total of 19 new residential lots on an approximately 9.02 -acre site. The proposed density of 2.7 dwelling units per acre conforms to the General Plan density range for the Medium Density Residential land use designation. The proposed project would further General Plan Programs and Policies encouraging new housing to be developed in infill areas that are adjacent to existing residential developments. Thus, the proposed development plan is consistent with the City's General Plan. 3. Whether the proposed development plan is compatible with the previously developed properties in the vicinity and the natural, topographic features of the site: Surrounding properties include single - family homes, Alameda County Fairgrounds, and an arroyo. As conditioned, staff believes that the proposed residential lots and homes would be compatible with the surrounding uses, as the basic site layout and architecture would not be substantially different from that of surrounding neighborhoods. The subject property has relatively flat terrain except for the creek bank on the north side. Grading of the lots has been limited to the creation of pads for the future homes and to achieve the proper functioning of utilities and the creek bank on the north side of the project site. Therefore, the PUD development plan is compatible with previously developed properties and the natural, topographic features of the site. 4. Whether grading in conjunction with the proposed development plan takes into account environmental characteristics and is designed in keeping with the best engineering practices to avoid erosion, slides, or flooding, and to have as minimal an effect upon the environment as possible: As described above, the site would be graded to create the needed building pad areas. Erosion control and dust suppression measures will be documented in the improvement plans and will be administered by the City's Building and PUD -99 13 Planning Commission
