Resolution No. PC-97-51 Page 2 their health and appearance. An existing overhead electrical transmission line will be relocated underground as part of the project. 2. The plan is consistent with the City's General Plan. The project is consistent with the site's General Plan Land Use Element designation of Retail, Highway, and Service CommerciallBusiness and Professional Offices. The construction of additional self-storage facilities will provide a service needed by residents and businesses of Pleasant on (Policy 4, Land Use Element). The proposed facility will provide a necessary service on a presently vacant and underutilized parcel which currently has existing infrastructure proximate to the site (policy 13, Land Use Element). As conditioned, the developers of this site will be required to pay for their fair share of roadway improvements and utility infrastructure (policy 1.1, Circulation Element and Policies 2,4, and 5, Public Safety Element). The access to the facility will be located on Reflections Drive which is consistent with the policy not to allow individual driveways to enter onto major arterials (Policy 3, Circulation Element). The design of the self-storage facility will include state-of-the-art fire detection and suppression systems in addition to providing adequate access for fire and other emergency vehicles (policy 13, Public Safety Element). An electrical transmission line traversing a portion of the site's frontage will be relocated underground with the completion of the project (Policy 8, Public Safety Element). 3. The plan is compatible with previously developed properties in the vicinity and the natural, topographic features of the site. The site is an infill property surrounded by a variety of commercial service, residential, and industrial uses and vacant land. The site is bordered on the west by 108 single-family residential units in the California Reflections subdivision, service commercial development in the Stanley Business Park to the south, and industrial properties on the north and east. The project site does not directly abut any of these surrounding land uses. The proposed commercial development will be consistent with the existing service commercial and industrial uses which border the site on three sides and requires sensitivity with respect to its interface with the adjacent residential neighborhood. The project site is separated from the adjacent California Reflection residential subdivision on the west by a public street, Reflections Drive. The design of the facility has taken the residential land use into consideration in terms of aesthetics, noise, and traffic issues. The building elevations facing these residential properties have been attractively designed and ample landscaping will be provided along the area of the site closest to this land use. Silent alarm systems and limited hours of operation will help to ensure that the facility does not produce any negative noise impact on these adjacent units. Self-storage generates the lowest volume of traffic
