Resolution No. PC-98-74 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. The subject property is relatively flat, except for the area at the westerly end ofthe site. A geological/geotechnical report has been prepared for the project site and proposed development plan. The recommendations of that report, which address landslide/fill repairs, drainage, soil, compaction, foundation design have been included in the conditions of approval. Urban clean water runoff measures will be incorporated into the project through conditions of approval. The property is not located in the Alquist-Priolo Study Zone. No portion of the site is located in a 100-year flood hazard zone. 5. Streets and buildings have been designed and located to complement the natural terrain and landscape. As conditioned, the streets and buildings have been located and designed to generally complement the natural terrain and match the adjoining residential developments as closely as possible. The portion of the site closest to Foothill Road has a varying topography and would have the larger, custom home lots. All of the production homes would be constructed on the relatively flat, easterly portion of the site. 6. Adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into the design of the plan. Public safety measures have been incorporated into the design of the proposed development. All project streets and utilities have been designed to meet City standards. The three emergency vehicle accesses will provide alternative entrances to this development, as well as the existing developments to the north and south of the project site, for use in the event of an emergency. Additional fire protection would be provided through the installation of automatic fire sprinkler systems in each of the new homes. The project would also complete public street improvements along the site's Foothill Road frontage, resulting in the safety improvements and increased capacities for this major circulation artery. The developer would complete a remediation plan to address the existing soil and groundwater contamination on the site.
