Resolution No. PC-2018-08 Page Four prepared surfaces. Storm water runoff associated with the project would be treated and directed into the bio-retention planters before being released. The site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. Therefore, the Planning Commission finds the fourth PUD consideration can be made for the project. E. Whether streets and buildings have been designed and located to complement the natural terrain and landscape: The Planning Commission finds that the existing site is relatively flat and that the proposed building and site design would not make major topographical changes to the site's existing flat terrain. Frontage landscaping would enhance the aesthetic character of the streetscape. Therefore, this finding can be made. F. Whether adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into the design of the plan: The Planning Commission finds that adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into the project and this finding can be made. Specifically the new driveway entrances are located and configured to provide adequate line-of-sight viewing distance and to facilitate efficient ingress/egress to and from the project site. Adequate access would be provided to the site and building for police, fire, and other emergency vehicles. The project would be required to meet the requirements of the Uniform Building Code, Fire Code, and other applicable City codes. G. Whether the plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD District: The Planning Commission finds 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. The Planning Commission finds the proposed project implements the purposes of the PUD ordinance by providing an enhanced landscaping and streetscape adjacent to Santa Rita Road and a CTC building that is well designed. 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. Moreover, input from nearby property owners, residents, and tenants has been sought and obtained through a Planning Commission workshop; further opportunity for public comment will occur at the Planning Commission and City Council hearings. With respect to the above criteria, the Planning Commission finds that the project would preserve and enhance the city's aesthetic values and ensure the preservation of the public health, safety and general welfare since it would be consistent with the allowable height, setbacks and other pertinent development standards of the PUD zoning district in which it is located, and would replace, upgrade and modernize the existing CTC facility. The project would include attractively designed landscaping and provide an enhanced streetscape along Santa Rita Road including substantial new tree and shrub plantings, decorative gabion walls, ts would ensure the buildings and parking lot are constructed on properly- prepared surfaces. Storm water runoff associated with the project would be treated and
