Resolution No. PC-97-52 Page 2 would be 24.7%, which conforms to the 60% maximum floor area ratio allowed for this site by the Pleasanton General Plan. Based on the proposed project's traffic analysis, levels-of-service on north Pleasanton streets, intersections, and freeway interchanges would be within the near term level-of-service standards of the Pleasanton General Plan. Long-term build-out scenarios for north Pleasanton, with and without Providian's proposed building expansion, requires construction of the 1-680/W est Las Positas Boulevard freeway interchange, or implementation of alternate means identified to mitigate north Pleasanton traffic levels to General Plan standards. Providian will execute an agreement with the City to pay its pro-rata share in any future assessment district or program. With this requirement, the Providian development conforms to the level-of-service standards stated in the Circulation Element of the Pleasanton General Plan. Providian will continue to stagger its work hours so that employees avoid the morning/evening peak-hour commute times, will continue to actively participate in TSM programs reducing its impact to north Pleasanton intersections and freeway interchanges, and will operate its own shuttle service to BART. Adequate on-site parking is provided for the employees of the proposed development based on floor area, employee density, and number of work shifts. 3. The proposed development plan modification is compatible with previously developed properties located in the vicinity ofthe site: The proposed building is designed to match the architectural style established by the existing Providian structures regarding materials, colors, detailing, and the "bowed" building elements which bisect the existing structures. 4. The development plan modification is compatible with the natural, topographic features of the site: The overall site has been graded in conjunction with construction of the previously approved, five-building development. Project specific grading is limited to that required for preparation of the building pad. 5. The grading proposed in conjunction with the development plan modification 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 subject property is not located in the Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone. Requirements of the Uniform Building Code -- implemented by the City at the building permit review -- would ensure that building foundations are properly constructed.
