SECTION 2. With respect to the Planned Unit Development application, PUD -138, the City Council makes the following findings and determinations with respect to each of the considerations for approval of a PUD Development Plan as required by Section 18.68.110 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC): 1. Whether the plan is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general welfare: The City Council finds that the Project, as conditioned, meets all applicable City standards concerning public health, safety, and welfare. The subject development would include the installation of all required on-site utilities with connections to municipal systems in order to serve the new lots. The Project would be compatible with the adjacent uses and the design criteria listed in the design guidelines, which would require new homes to be constructed consistent with the existing residential scale and character of the area. Adequate setbacks have been required between the new dwellings and the existing structures on the adjacent properties. The Project will not generate volumes of traffic that cannot be accommodated by existing streets and intersections in the area. The proposed homes will be designed to meet the requirements of the California Building Code, California Fire Code, and other applicable codes. As such, the City Council concludes that this finding can be made. 2. Whether the plan is consistent with the City's General Plan and any applicable specific plan: The Project site has a General Plan Land Use designations of "Low Density Residential/ Open Space" on the General Plan Map.
