Resolution No. PC-97-90 Page 4 temporary system. A vegetated filter is being considered to be used in the area of the proposed park in conformance with the City's Cleanwater Runoff ordinance. Conservation and Open Space Element There are 114 heritage-sized trees on the project site. As discussed in more detail in the following section, Plant and Animal Impacts, approximately 60 of these trees would be retained within the project. While these trees are exotic species (not indigenous to the area), a number of them form a historic hedgerow on the north side of Mohr Avenue, and their retention is significant to preserving the rural character of this portion of Mohr Avenue. The removal of 54 heritage trees would be mitigated by the inclusion of numerous speciman-sized trees within the project's open space areas. The project includes the provision of ample park and open space areas, as well as pedestrian pathways for use by both the existing and future residents of this area. All proposed structures within the development would be required to be designed using all feasible energy conservation measures and to adhere to the State Uniform Building Code in effect at the time of permit issuance. Noise Element The indoor and outdoor living areas of the proposed residences would comply with the acceptable noise level standards established by the City's General Plan for such areas. 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 both residential and industrial uses. The proposed 300-unit mixed density (low-, medium-, and high-density) residential development would be consistent in overall density with the existing residential developments that surround the project site. The site is relatively flat. Grading for the proposed project would involve minimal cut and fill operations in order to produce the required minimal slopes necessary to achieve a gravity-operated sanitary sewer system and the proper drainage of stormwater from the residential lots and streets into the City's subterranean storm water runoff collection system. Grading conducted on the site will be subject to engineering and building requirements.
