Resolution No. PC-99-63 Page 3 5. Streets and buildings have been designed and located to complement the natural terrain and landscape. The proposed development of the site has been designed to be consistent with the requirements of the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan. The streets and building pads have been designed to generally follow the site's natural contours which helps minimize their visibility and reduce the amount of grading necessary to construct them. Two visually-sensitive slope banks have been designated as open space areas which would preclude the future construction of buildings in these areas. 6. Adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into the design of the plan. All of the public safety measures wou1d be addressed through provisions of the Vineyard A venue Corridor Specific Plan and the proposed conditions of approval. The proposed design of the street system and emergency vehicle access will create a safe circulation pattem. A sidewalk wou1d be installed along the project's Vineyard Avenue frontage which would provide a safe pedestrian walkway separate from vehicular travel. 7. The plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD District. The development of the existing PUD zoning designations for the Vineyard Corridor area recognized the fact that the parcels in the area are irregularly shaped, that infrastructure needs to be provided to allow for development of the area, and that the PUD zoning district was needed in order to properly implement the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan and to facilitate development in a reasonable and orderly manner. The proposed PUD plan sets forth the parameters for the future development in a manner consistent with the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan and through the conditioning of the subject PUD development plan, the proposed project will substantially conform to the requirements of the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds that the proposed development plans are consistent with the General Plan, the purposes of the PUD ordinance, and the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan.
