Resolution No. PC-96-30 Page 4 6. Adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into the design of the modified development plan: Buildings are designed to meet the requirements of the Uniform Building Code, other applicable City codes, and State of California mandated noise, energy, and accessibility requirements. All internal areas of the Providian development can be accessed from anyone of the Franklin Drive and Johnson Drive project driveways. For this reason, the vehicular access that Morse Drive would have provided, if the Providian site were still two separate and individually owned properties, is no longer needed. The proposed project driveway to be located at the present intersection of Morse Drive and Johnson Drive will remain signalized. Providian will construct new public sidewalks and landings along the east and south sides of Franklin Drive. The sidewalk replaces the sidewalk eliminated with Morse Drive and will function as the second sidewalk connection from Johnson Drive presently provided by Morse Drive. The project is conditioned to provide measures, e.g., oil/water separators, covered trash enclosures, etc., consistent with the City's non-point stormwater runoff ordinance. The proposed diesel powered emergency power generator is conditioned to implement the requirements of the City's hazardous materials storage and use ordinance. All driveway entrances are located and configured to provide an adequate line-of-sight viewing distance in both directions perpendicular to the vehicle, and to facilitate efficient ingress/egress to and from the project site. 7. The modified development plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD District: The changes proposed by the new development plan conform to the purposes of the PUD District which encourage innovative building design, while adhering to the standards of the Pleasanton General Plan, as follows: The height and massing ofProvidian's office campus balances the building mass and scale of the Signature Center office buildings without overpowering its site and street frontages. The design of the proposed buildings matches that of the three existing buildings constructed with the previous Providian project. The innovative "bowed" building design elements of the existing Providian buildings are also provided with the two new buildings. The central plaza area would feature built-in-place seating, a water feature, ornamental walls, and decorative paving. Providian's plaza area provides a visual focal point centered between the Signature Center office buildings and aligned with the Johnson Drive/Morse Drive intersection. Generous landscaping is provided in the proposed parking areas. Providian will participate in any future assessment district created to fund the construction of the I-680/West Las Positas Boulevard freeway interchange.
