The proposed development has been designed to be compatible with adjacent land uses and consistent with all applicable General Plan policies. The project would also include the necessary cleanup of the hazardous materials previously deposited in the soil and a monitoring of the groundwater contamination resulting from the light industrial manufacturing operation on the site. Specific design features have been incorporated into the project design to minimize impacts to adjoining neighborhoods, including use of emergency vehicle access connections and perimeter single-story house designs and boundary tree planting. The project streets would not be connected to the streets in the adjoining neighborhoods in order to adhere to the General Plan policy limiting the volume of traffic on residential streets to 2,000 - 3,000 vehicle trips per day. Adequate storm drain, sanitary sewer, and water service facilities are present in the area surrounding the development.
