Resolution No. PC-97-38 Page 2 As conditioned, the proposed project provides for the safe and efficient conduct of business by providing more than the minimum required off-street parking and adequate and safe ingress/egress between the project site and Johnson Drive. Traffic from the proposed development will not create significant adverse impacts. The buildings will be designed and reviewed in accordance with City building and fire codes. Adequate storm drain, sanitary sewer, and water service facilities are present to serve the site. The applicant will install all required on-site utilities with connections to municipal systems in order to serve the site. 2. The plan is consistent with the City's General Plan. The proposed project's land use conforms to the "Business Park" Land Use designation for the project site. The proposed floor area ratio would be 38.5%, which conforms to the 60% maximum floor area ratio allowed for this site by the Pleasanton General Plan. Sufficient amenities have been provided to allow the midpoint intensity of 32% FAR to be exceeded. Based on the proposed project's traffic analysis, traffic conditions on nearby interchanges would be within the level-of-service standards of the Pleasanton General Plan. Adequate on-site parking is provided for the employees and customers of the proposed development. The site and building have been designed to be particularly sensitive to aesthetic considerations as identified in the Community Character Element of the General Plan. 3. The plan is compatible with previously developed properties III the vicinity and the natural, topographic features of the site. Adjacent properties include the Arroyo de la Laguna and Interstate 680 freeway to the west, an industrial building and vacant lot to the north, on the opposite side of Johnson Drive, a vacant DSRSD-owned lot to the east (currently planned for a future park-n-ride parking lot), and a self-storage facility to the south, on the opposite side of Stoneridge Drive. The nearest residences are approximately 700 ft. to the southeast and approximately 750 ft. to the west, on the opposite side ofthe 1-680 freeway. The subject buildings have been located to reduce the mass and visual impact of the buildings as viewed from the adjacent City streets, adjacent properties, and the 1-680 freeway, freeway on-ramp, and overpass. Impacts on adjacent residential properties will be limited.
