<br />Resolution No. PC-97-65 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />The applicants have been conditioned to submit a Hazardous Materials Management Plan <br />(HMMP) pursuant to the City's Hazardous Material Ordinance describing any and all <br />regulated materials, the maximum amount of the material on-site at anyone time, and the <br />applicable fire-hazard classification. The HMMP will also establish monitoring provisions <br />detailing how materials come into and leave the facility to insure that toxic materials are <br />being disposed in accordance with all applicable regulations. <br /> <br />2. The plan is consistent with the City's General Plan. <br /> <br />The General Plan Land Use designation for the site is High Density Residential, which <br />permits residential densities of more than eight units per acre. The project density of 23 <br />dulac conforms to the site's General Plan land use designation of High Density Residential. <br />The proposed PUD development plan has been designed to meet the applicable General <br />Plan policies for the proposed High Density Residential land use designation. <br /> <br />The project's location near employment centers and public transportation (including the <br />new BART station), and its location in an area already developed with adequately-sized <br />infrastructure (six-lane thoroughfares, water, sewer, storm drain, etc.), meets other <br />General Plan policies and programs. Another General Plan policy encourages the inclusion <br />of lower-income units among market-rate units. Hacienda Park would provide 135 <br />lower-income units among the other 405 market-rate units. <br /> <br />Based on the proposed project's traffic analysis, traffic conditions on nearby interchanges <br />would be within the level-of-service standards of the Pleasanton General Plan. Adequate <br />on-site parking is provided for the tenants, visitors, and park users of the proposed <br />development. <br /> <br />3. The plan is compatible with previously developed properties in the vicinity and the <br />natural, topographic features of the site. <br /> <br />The site is an infill property surrounded by a variety of residential and commercial uses. <br />The site is relatively flat. Grading for the proposed project would involve minimal cut and <br />fill in order to produce the required minimal slopes necessary to achieve proper drainage <br />of stormwater from the building pads and on-site drive aisles and parking areas. Grading <br />conducted on the site will be subject to engineering and building standards prior to any <br />development. <br /> <br />The three-story building heights are compatible with other high density residential <br />development near this site and on the boundaries of the Hacienda Business Park. <br />Buildings are well-proportioned and designed. Landscaping is attractive, frames public <br />and private views, and is consistent with the surrounding development within the Hacienda <br />Business Park and the Hacienda Design Guidelines. <br /> <br />---.-...-..--...-------- <br />
