Resolution No. PC-98-74 Page 2 The project would include the installation of all required on-site utilities with connections to municipal systems in order to serve the site. These connections will not adversely affect service within adjoining projects. Street improvements designed to City standards would be constructed along and adjoining the Foothill Road frontage to facilitate the flow of traffic. Adequate access would be provided to all structures for police, fire, and other emergency vehicles. The residential units would be designed to meet the requirements ofthe Uniform Building Code and other applicable City codes, and would include use of automatic fire sprinklers. 2. The plan is consistent with the City's General Plan. The plan would delete two private driveways onto a major arterial, allow development on a geologic area of "acceptable risk," provide for the construction of custom housing stock, provide development outside the 100-year flood zone, and be consistent with the densities of the surrounding properties. Project conditions would also ensure that the character of the existing neighborhoods are maintained, that hazardous materials contamination is remediated prior to development, and that fire hazards are mitigated through the provision of fire sprinkler systems in the new homes. 3. The plan is compatible with previously developed properties in the vicinity and the natural, topographic features of the site. The site is an infill property surrounded by a variety of residential uses. As conditioned, the project would include the cessation of an existing manufacturing use next to the existing residential neighborhoods. Low density residential development has recently been approved westerly of the subject site, and low density and medium density residential projects are already existing to the south and north of the subject site. The project site plan has been designed to avoid traffic impacts on existing residential streets. The majority of the site is relatively flat. Grading for the homes on the flat portion of the site would involve minimal balanced cut and fill grading operations. The grading on the steeper slopes would be minimized by utilizing a split pad/stepped house foundation. All grading on the site will be subject to engineering and building standards prior to any development.
