Resolution No. PC-97-51 Page 3 of all the commercial uses. The traffic volume projected to be generated from the self-storage facility will be 178 vehicle trips per day, or the equivalent of 18 single-family residential homes. Reflections Drive has been designed and constructed to accommodate both the residential traffic from the adjacent California Reflections subdivision, as well as the traffic generated by a commercial project on this site. The proposed commercial development will require minor regrading of the existing fill from the Valley Avenue underpass that was placed on the relatively flat site. Minimal grading will be completed in order to achieve positive drainage on the proposed building sites. 4. The grading takes into account environmental characteristics and is designed in keeping with the best engineering practices to avoid erosion, slides, or flooding to have as minimal an effect upon the environment as possible. The site is relatively flat and is located approximately 12' above the elevation of the paved street surface on the eastern end ofthe site. Dirt fill will be added to the site to allow proper drainage. Grading conducted on the site will be subject to engineering and building standards prior to any development. As conditioned, the existing grades within the driplines of the walnut trees along Stanley Boulevard will be maintained in order to promote the preservation of these existing trees which are a visual resource to the City. The property is not located in the Alquist-Priolo Study Zone. City building code requirements will ensure that building foundations and parking areas are constructed on satisfactorily compacted fill. Erosion control and dust suppression measures will be documented in the final map and/or building permit and will be administered by the City's Building and Public Works Departments. According to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Flood Hazard maps, no portion of the site is located in a flood hazard zone. 5. The streets and buildings have been designed and located to complement the natural terrain and landscape. The site is relatively flat and, therefore, the buildings have been designed to conform to the topography with minimal grading to facilitate drainage of the on-site paved driveway aisles. The proposed layout of the facility, including buildings and drive aisles, has been designed to prevent the loss of any of the existing heritage trees along Stanley Boulevard. The buildings are relatively low in profile, 10ft. in height, so as not to obstruct the view of the distant ridges in the background. Additionally, many of the same landscape materials used along the project's Stanley Boulevard frontage are those used in the existing landscape area along the Stanley Boulevard frontage of the adjacent California Reflections residential subdivision.
