Resolution No. PC-2019-22 Page Three The site topography is generally flat. Grading for the Project would be limited to that required for preparation of the construction of the new commercial building and related site improvements. Erosion control and dust suppression measures will be documented in the building permit plans and will be administered by the City's Building and Safety Division and Engineering Department. The site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. The flood hazard maps of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) indicate that the subject property is not located within a 100-year flood zone. Therefore, the Planning Commission finds that the Project properly takes into account environmental characteristics of the site. 5. Whether streets, buildings, and other manmade structures have been designed and located in such manner to complement the natural terrain and landscape: The subject parcel 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 pad for the new commercial building and related site improvements do not require extensive grading and do not contrast unfavorably with the natural terrain. The Project will be compatible in design, size and scale with surrounding structures. Eleven existing trees will be removed to accommodate the Project. The removal of these trees would be mitigated by the installation of 21 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 subject parcel currently provides adequate access for police, fire, and other emergency vehicles. The new commercial building 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 Project 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 Project implements the Commission 13 of 15 proposed within the new commercial building and the applicable parking requirements for each land use prescribed by the PMC.
