Resolution No. PC-98-21 Page 3 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 of the project site will be limited to building pads, drainage swales, circulation areas, and landslide/ undocumented fill repairs. The subsequent grading to accommodate the custom homes on the lots will be limited to the building envelope areas and will be reviewed through the design review process for the custom homes on these lots. Grading conducted on the site will be subject to engineering and building standards. Erosion control and dust suppression measures will be documented in the building permit plans and will be administered by the City's Building and Public Works Departments. A geological/geotechnical report has been prepared for the project site and proposed development plan. The reconunendations of that report, which address landslide/ fill repairs, drainage, soil compaction, foundation design, etc., have been included in the conditions of approval for the project. The project improvements would include the repair oflandslides and the undocumented fill area as outlined in the approved geotechnical/ geological report for the site. 5. Streets and buildings have been designed and located to complement the natural terrain and landscape. As conditioned, the development of the site, including buildings and access to adjacent public streets, is consistent with the requirements of the City's ordinances and the Uniform Building Code. The subject site is located in a rural hillside area. The revised configuration of Equus Court and the orientation of the lots will facilitate a better relationship of the homes to the natural terrain and landscape. The design guidelines require that split pads be used for the homes on Lots I, 2, and 3 in order that they conform to the natural slope of the site. The proposed design guidelines require that the homes be compatible with the rural character of the site and surrounding properties. The only existing vegetation which would be removed would be trees in the area of Lots 4,5, and 6 which must be removed in order to complete necessary repairs to an area of improperly-placed fill.
