Resolution No. PC-99-65 Page 2 in recent years. The subject site where development is proposed is not as steep as most other approved custom developments along the west side of Foothill Road. To the east, across Foothill Road, are single-family production homes. The proposed residential use of the property would be compatible with the surrounding uses. 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 effect on the environment as possible. The Negative Delcaration addresses the geological/geotechnical problems associated with development of the site and presents specific environmental impacts and mitigation measures to enable safe residential use of the site. These mitigation measures have been included as conditions of approval. With these conditions the environmental impacts of the project will not be significant. 5. Streets and buildings have been designed and located to complement the natural terrain and landscape. Most of the development is proposed to be located in the least sensitive portions of the site. The use of building envelopes, as conditioned, will help to integrate the streets, houses, and future accessory structures in the natural environment. The project has been developed to conform to the West Foothill Road Corridor Overlay District reguirements. 6. Adequate public safety measures have incorporated in to the plan. The Negative Declaration has addressed the major public safety issues involving geological/geotechnical issues, schools, and fire protection and recommended mitigation measures have been incorporated into the plan through conditions of approval. 7. The plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD District. The plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD District in that it proposes an acceptable development on the site. The development plan provides a greater control over grading, design, development standards, and site planning for a sensitive area. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds that proposed development plan meets the intent of the current West Foothill Road Corridor Overlay District and the West Foothill Road Corridor Design Guidelines, and is consistent with the General Plan and the PUD ordinance.
