Resolution No. PC-97-17 Page 4 Flood control improvements required as part of the SDSP infrastructure improvements will be completed prior to occupancy of any units. Urban c1eanwater runoff measures will be incorporated into the project through conditions of approval. The property is not located in the Alquist-Priolo Study Zone. The grading is designed in keeping with the best engineering practices, would have a minimal effect on the environment, and that all efforts will have been made to ensure that the property is removed from the flood hazard area. E. The streets and buildings have been designed and located to complement the natural terrain and landscape: As conditioned, the streets and buildings have been located and designed to complement the natural terrain by creating only minor changes to the site's relatively flat topography. Stoneridge Drive will be constructed as 2-lanes of a major arterial as required by the SDSP. The houses have been designed to complement existing residential development in the vicinity and incorporate some elements of "neo-traditional" design. In some areas of the development plan, new streets and landscape buffers will separate the rear yards of existing homes from the proposed homes resulting in a greater separation between structures. The townhomes have been designed so that the narrow ends of the buildings will face the new residences, thus lessening the appearance oflarge structures within the new neighborhood. Additionally, the townhomes have been placed as far as possible from the existing residences of the California Somerset I development and separated by the common open space area for the tOwnhomes. The townhomes also maintain a generous setback of at least 20' from the street. F. Adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into the design of the plan: Several public safety measures have been incorporated into the design of the proposed development plan and off-site improvements. As proposed and conditioned, all on-site streets meet City standards which would ensure that adequate access is provided to all structures for police, fire, and other emergency vehicles. The development plan also includes an EVA which will provid a safe, alternative pedestrian/bicylce access between the neighborhoods and for California Place/California Somerset I residents to access the new community park without needing to travel on Stoneridge Drive.
