<br /> well-rounded community of desirable neighborhoods, a strong employment
<br /> base, and a variety of community facilities including religious. Thus, the
<br /> Planning Commission finds the proposed development plan is consistent with
<br /> the City's General Plan, and believes this finding can be made.
<br /> 3. Whether the proposed development plan is compatible with the
<br /> previously developed properties in the vicinity and the natural,
<br /> topographic features of the site.
<br /> Surrounding properties include single-family homes, open space areas, and a
<br /> church. As conditioned, staff believes the proposed church would be
<br /> compatible with the surrounding uses, as the basic layout and architecture
<br /> would not be substantially different from that of surrounding neighborhoods.
<br /> The subject property has relatively flat terrain except for the steeply-sloped
<br /> banks of Dublin Creek. Grading of the lot has been limited to the creation of
<br /> the building pad and parking lot to achieve the proper functioning of utilities.
<br /> The creek banks on the north side of the project site will be entirely
<br /> preserved. Therefore, the Planning Commission finds the PUD Development
<br /> Plan is compatible with previously developed properties and the natural,
<br /> topographic features of the site, and staff believes this finding can be made.
<br /> 4. Whether grading in conjunction with the proposed development plan
<br /> takes into account environmental characteristics and is designed in
<br /> keeping with the best engineering practices to avoid erosion, slides, or
<br /> flooring, and to have as minimal an effect upon the environment as
<br /> possible.
<br /> The Planning Commission finds that as described above, the site would be
<br /> graded to create the needed building pad and parking lot areas, but the
<br /> perimeter of the site (including the riparian area around Dublin Creek) would
<br /> be preserved in its natural state. Erosion control and dust suppression
<br /> measures will be documented in the improvement plans and will be
<br /> administered by the City's Building Division and Engineering Department. The
<br /> site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. The flood
<br /> hazard maps of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
<br /> indicate the subject property is not located in a flood hazard zone. As such,
<br /> the Commission concludes this finding can be made.
<br /> 5. Whether streets, buildings, and other manmade structures have been
<br /> designed and located in such a manner to complement the natural
<br /> terrain and landscape.
<br /> The project site is in a developed area of the City and would not involve the
<br /> extension of any new public streets. The proposed church would be located
<br /> on the flatter portion of the site, allowing for a landscape buffer along Dublin
<br /> Canyon Road and protection of the area around Dublin Creek. The segment
<br /> of riparian area on-site would be set aside as open space. The proposed
<br />
<br /> with the remaining agricultural parcel with Open Space. The proposed project
<br /> would promote General Plan Programs and Policies to maintain a complete
<br />dia.
