Resolution No. PC-97-58 Page 2 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 portion of the site on which the barn will be constructed is relatively flat, requiring a maximum 3' 0" cut. As conditioned, appropriate grading and erosion control procedures will be project requirements. The site is not located in the Alquist-Priolo Study Zone. 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. Streets and buildings have been designed and located to complement the natural terrain and landscape. The portion of the site where the barn will be constructed is relatively flat, requiring minimal grading. 6. Adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into the design of the plan. The construction of the proposed structure will be required to adhere to all relevant building and public safety codes. Adequate access will be provided to the structure for emergency vehicles. 7. The plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD District. The proposed PUD plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD district, which is to encourage efficient usage of small, odd-sized or topographically affected parcels difficult for development by themselves. The proposed barn has been sited on the relatively flat portion of this otherwise topographically affected parcel. As conditioned, the plan also adheres to the PUD purpose which is to provide a mechanism whereby the City can designate parcels and areas requiring special consideration regarding the manner in which development occurs. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds that the proposed barn's design and agricultural use are appropriate for the site.
