Whether the plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD District: The proposed PUD development plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD district, and the City's Housing Element. One of the purposes of the PUD district is to ensure the desires of the Applicant and the community are understood and approved prior to commencement of construction. The proposed project implements the purposes of the PUD Ordinance in this case by providing a residential project that is well-designed and well -integrated with the existing development in the vicinity, that fulfills the desires of the applicant, and that meets the City's General Plan and Housing Element goals and policies. By taking advantage of the flexibility of the PUD district while complementing the minimum development standards of the surrounding residential neighborhoods, the applicant and staff have been able to work together to design the Project in a manner most appropriate for this use. Through the PUD process the Project has provided the Applicant and the City with a development plan that optimizes the use of this infill site in a sensitive manner. Therefore, the City Council makes this finding. SECTION 4.
