Resolution No. PC-2003-01 Page 2 By contributing its share of the costs ofpublic infrastructure approved with the Vineyazd Avenue Corridor Specific Plan, the proposed project would facilitate the conversion of old Vineyard Avenue to a public pedestrian bicycle trail, completion of the public trail to be located along the north side of the new alignment for Vineyard Avenue adjoining the Arroyo del Valle, completion of the public sanitary sewer pump station, and construction of the new alignment of Vineyard Avenue. 2. The modified development plan is consistent with the Pleasanton General Plan. The subject property is designated by the Land Use Element of the Pleasanton General Plan for Low Density Residential (< 2.0 du/acre) land uses with amid-point density of 1.0 du/acre, equaling a maximum density of eight units and amid-point density of four units. Although this property is not part of the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan, it was referenced in the text of the Specific Plan and was incorporated in the approved financing plan for the Specific Plan area, and it provided a far larger percentage of its overall site area for right-of--way for Vineyard Avenue than any other property. For these reasons, the City Council treated this property as if it were part of the Specific Plan in terms of density and requirements specified for Low Density Residential land uses and, with the previous PUD development plan, approved six units of density for this site. 3. Whether the modified development plan is compatible with previously developed properties located in the vicinity of the plan. The proposed public street is situated in a manner consistent with City standards and which provides adequate access to the proposed development for access and/or emergency vehicles. Development of the site at the proposed density and lot sizes will be compatible with the low density, semi-rural character of the surrounding area. 4. Whether the modified development plan is compatible with the natural, topographic features of the site. The proposed grading plan has been designed to reflect the site's existing topographic condition, to minimize impacts on adjoining properties, and to be consistent with the requirements and geotechnical report recommendations that have been prepared for the proposed project. All private lots would be designed to drain to a public street storm drain.
