Furthermore, LAFCO would review the <br />development applications for the project site to ensure consistency with LAFCO policies. <br />Section 3: Recommended Findings for approval of PUD Development Plan (PUD -147) <br />With respect to Case No. PUD -147, the Planning Commission recommends the City Council <br />make the following findings and determinations with respect to each of the considerations for a <br />PUD Development Plan as required by Section 18.68.110 of the PMC: <br />1. Whether the plan is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general <br />welfare: <br />The Project, as conditioned, meets all applicable City standards concerning public health, <br />safety, and welfare. The Project would include the installation of all required on-site utilities <br />with connections to municipal systems to serve the new development. With the <br />recommended traffic improvements/mitigations, the Project will not generate volumes of <br />traffic that cannot be accommodated by existing City streets and intersections in the area. <br />The structures would be designed to meet the requirements of the Uniform Building Code, <br />Fire Code, and other applicable City codes. Adequate access would be provided to the <br />structures for police, fire, and other emergency response vehicles. Stormwater run-off from <br />the site will be treated before leaving the site. Construction hour limits and dust <br />suppression requirements would minimize construction impacts on the surrounding <br />residents and tenants. The Project is compatible with the adjacent uses and would be <br />consistent with the existing scale and character of the area. Therefore, it is recommended <br />the proposed PUD development plan is in the best interests of public health, safety, and <br />general welfare, and this finding can be made. <br />2. Whether the plan is consistent with the City's General Plan and any applicable <br />specific plan: <br />The Property's Land Use Designation of Low -Density Residential (LDR) and Housing <br />Element Sites Overlay (HESO) permits residential uses; thus, the Project would be <br />consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation. The proposed density of two <br />dwelling units per approximate acre, plus a 20 percent density bonus as allowed under <br />State Density Bonus Law, is consistent with the General Plan. The Project would further <br />several General Plan Programs and Policies including: encouraging the reuse of vacant <br />and underutilized parcels by development on an underutilized former orchard within the <br />existing urban area; encourage the use of density bonuses in residential projects that <br />include housing units affordable to extremely low-, very low-, low-, and moderate -income <br />households and support development and maintenance of affordable senior housing and <br />supportive services to facilitate maximum independence and the ability of seniors to remain <br />in their homes and/or the community. The project would also be in conformance with the <br />Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance, which requires each residential and non-residential <br />development to which the Ordinance applies, to include its pro -rata share of housing needs <br />for lower- and moderate -income households. City policies strongly encouraged that the <br />Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance requirements be met by building housing affordable to <br />P22-1089, PUD -147, Tract 8522 <br />3 <br />PC -2024-14, June 26, 2024 <br />
