Resolution No. PC-2019-20 Page Four 6. Whether adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into the design or the proposed development plan. The Planning Commission finds the private driveway entry off Stanley Boulevard would be located and configured to provide adequate line-of-sight viewing distance and to facilitate efficient ingress/egress to and from the project site. The private driveway is designed to provide adequate circulation for fire, police, and other emergency vehicles. The new homes will be equipped with automatic residential fire sprinklers. In addition, the proposed homes will be required to meet the requirements of applicable City and State codes. As such, the Commission concludes that this finding can be made. 7. Whether the proposed development plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD district. The Planning Commission finds that the proposed PUD development plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD district. The primary purpose of the PUD district is to allow flexibility in the development of projects the City determines are in its best interest. Staff believes the proposed project would help to implement the purposes of the PUD ordinance by allowing for flexible site standards on the site resulting in a high-density single-family housing project that is well-designed and sited on the subject property, that fulfills the desires of the applicant, and that meets the City's General Plan and Downtown Specific Plan goals and policies. Through the PUD process the proposed project has provided the applicant and the City with a development plan that optimizes the use of this site in a reasonably sensitive manner. As such, the Commission concludes that this finding can be made. Section 2: The Planning Commission hereby recommends the City Council approve the application for PUD development plan, PUD-133, as reflected in the plans dated July 3, 2019, to demolish an existing home and construct three new detached single-family homes and related improvements located at 3987 Stanley Boulevard, subject to the Conditions of Approval in Attachment 1, attached hereto and incorporated into this resolution by reference.
