Resolution No. PC-96-30 Page 3 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 of the site: The proposed buildings are 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. The height and massing of Providian's proposed office campus balances the building mass and scale of the Signature Center office buildings without overpowering its Franklin Drive and Johnson Drive site and street frontages. The entire interior area of the existing Providian buildings would be entirely rebuilt and replanted to create the interior plaza area. The plaza would feature built-in-place seating, a water feature, ornamental walls, and decorative paving. This feature would be an attractive amenity which would reinforce the high design standards of Signature Center. 4. The development plan modification is compatible with the natural, topographic features of the site: The subject property is flat. Proposed grading would essentially match the existing lay-of-the land. 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 relatively flat. Grading will be limited to building pads and streets, and to raising the site's grades along the Stoneridge Drive and Gibraltar Drive. 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 and private street/on-site parking areas are properly constructed. Erosion control, stormwater runoff, dust suppression measures would be documented in the final grading plan/permit and will be administered by the City's Building and Public Works Departments. Where feasible, the existing perimeter berms will be retained and incorporated into the project.
