Resolution No. PC-97-09 Page 3 Housinl1 Element The proposed residential development would provide a variety of housing styles and lot sizes. The two existing heritage homes would be retained and the project would be required to apply for and receive allocations under the City's Growth Management Program in order to ensure the preservation of adequate services in the existing, adjacent neighborhoods upon development of the site. Public Safety Element The project proponents have completed a soils report for the new development to determine the presence of any hazardous materials or potential contaminants on the site due to its prior use for agricultural activities. The study concluded that the site was clean, except for additional documentation and remediation is needed for the previous removal of fuel tanks in the area immediately surrounding the residences. Public Facilities Public utilities would be extended to this area as a result of the proposed project. The proposal includes the extension of sewer and water mains and other utilities to serve the proposed development, subject to specific conditions and City design standards. Additionally, a permanent storm drain system would be installed to serve the development and an existing facility in the area currently using a temporary system. Conservation and Open Space Element There are 114 heritage-sized trees on the project site. Approximately 60 of these trees would be retained within the project. While these trees are exotic species (not indigenous to the area), a number of them form a historic hedgerow on the north side of Mohr A venue and their retention is significant to preserving the rural character of this portion of Mohr Avenue. The removal of 54 heritage trees would be mitigated by the inclusion of numerous speciman-sized trees within the project's open space areas. Noise Element As conditioned, the indoor and outdoor living areas of the proposed residences would comply with the acceptable noise level standards established by the City's General Plan for such areas.
