Resolution No. PC-2021-11 Page Three well-rounded community of desirable neighborhoods, a strong employment base, and a variety of community facilities including religious. Thus, the Planning Commission finds the proposed development plan is consistent with the City's General Plan, and believes this finding can be made. 3. Whether the proposed development plan is compatible with the previously developed properties in the vicinity and the natural, topographic features of the site. Surrounding properties include single-family homes, open space areas, and a church. As conditioned, staff believes the proposed church would be compatible with the surrounding uses, as the basic layout and architecture would not be substantially different from that of surrounding neighborhoods. The subject property has relatively flat terrain except for the steeply-sloped banks of Dublin Creek. Grading of the lot has been limited to the creation of the building pad and parking lot to achieve the proper functioning of utilities. The creek banks on the north side of the project site will be entirely preserved. Therefore, the Planning Commission finds the PUD Development Plan is compatible with previously developed properties and the natural, topographic features of the site, and staff believes this finding can be made. 4. Whether grading in conjunction with the proposed development plan takes into account environmental characteristics and is designed in keeping with the best engineering practices to avoid erosion, slides, or flooring, and to have as minimal an effect upon the environment as possible. The Planning Commission finds that as described above, the site would be graded to create the needed building pad and parking lot areas, but the perimeter of the site (including the riparian area around Dublin Creek) would be preserved in its natural state. Erosion control and dust suppression measures will be documented in the improvement plans and will be administered by the City's Building Division and Engineering Department. The site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. The flood hazard maps of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) indicate the subject property is not located in a flood hazard zone. As such, the Commission concludes this finding can be made. 5. Whether streets, buildings, and other manmade structures have been designed and located in such a manner to complement the natural terrain and landscape. The project site is in a developed area of the City and would not involve the extension of any new public streets. The proposed church would be located on the flatter portion of the site, allowing for a landscape buffer along Dublin Canyon Road and protection of the area around Dublin Creek. The segment of riparian area on-site would be set aside as open space. The proposed ms to the General Plan Rural Density Residential land use designation, with the remaining agricultural parcel with Open Space.
