Resolution No. PC-99-57 Page 2 properties. The proposed development is consistent with both the General Plan and the North Sycamore Specific Plan. 3. The plan is compatible with previously developed properties in the vicinity and the natural, topographic features ofthe site: Throughout the design of this project, consideration has been given to minimizing any potential impacts on the adjacent residential developments. The project has been conditioned so that future grading would be minimized. The design guidelines have been developed so that future structures respect the architectural design and privacy of the surrounding development. A condition of approval requires view studies for Lots #3 and #4, which will ensure the development's compatibility with the surrounding area. 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 site would be limited. The proposed design guidelines specify that subsequent development shall minimize grading to the extent possible. Final grading requirements which may be necessary to accommodate future homes will be subject to design review approval to ensure compliance with this condition. All ofthe project improvement plans will be reviewed and approved by the City for their compliance to standard soil erosion control practices. 5. Streets and buildings have been designed and located to complement the natural terrain and landscape. The proposed lotting pattern has been designed to make the best use of the site for the lots. While a number of the existing trees will be removed, mitigation measures have been developed to offset the removal of the trees. The design guidelines have been developed to promote a continuation of the existing rural quality ofthe area. 6. Adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into the design of the plan. Necessary public safety measures have been incorporated into the design of the plan. This includes requiring the developer to contribute to the area-wide infrastructure. The proposed driveway would provide for the necessary emergency vehicle turn around area.
