Resolution No. PC-2019-21 Page Four 5. Whether streets, buildings, and other manmade structures have been designed and located in such manner to complement the natural terrain and landscape: The site is in a developed area of the City and would not involve the extension of any new public streets. The site is relatively flat and thus the proposed building pads for the structures and the site improvements do not require extensive grading and do not contrast with the natural terrain. The proposed structures will be compatible in design, size and scale with surrounding structures. 11 existing trees will be removed to accommodate the proposed development. The removal of these trees would be mitigated by the installation of 12 new trees. If the value of the new trees is not equal to or greater than the appraised value of the trees to be removed, the applicant would be required to pay the difference into the City's Urban Forestry Fund. Therefore, the Planning Commission finds that the Project complements the natural terrain and there is adequate landscaping. 6. Whether adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into the design of the plan: The Project site currently provides adequate access for police, fire, and other emergency vehicles. The new convenience store, carwash, and trash enclosure would be equipped with automatic fire suppression systems (sprinklers). Structures would be required to meet the requirements of the California Building Code, Fire Code, other applicable City codes, and State of California energy and accessibility requirements. Site specific soils analyses would be conducted in conjunction with the building permit review. Therefore, the Planning Commission finds that the plan has been designed to incorporate adequate public safety measures. 7. Whether the plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD District: The proposed PUD development plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD district. One of these purposes is to ensure that the desires of the developer and the community are understood and approved prior to commencement of construction. The Planning Commission finds that the proposed Project implements the purposes of the PUD ordinance by providing structures that are well-designed and sited on the subject property. In addition, the project fulfills the desires of the applicant, and meets the City's General Plan goals and policies. The PUD process allows for ample input from the public and for an ultimate decision by the City Council regarding appropriateness of the proposed uses and development plan. The Planning Commission finds that through the PUD process the proposed Project has provided residents, the applicant, and the City with a development plan that optimizes the re-use of this site in a sensitive manner. loitering and leaving trash in the church parking lot, convenience store delivery trucks and customers using the church's property for unloading and parking, and convenience store patrons speeding through the church parking lot from the convenience store.
