Resolution No. PC-96-64 Page 2 Adequate access would be provided to all structures for police, fire, and other emergency vehicles. Furthermore, Fire Department access to the four story hotel building can be provided with the City of Dublin's fire apparatus. Typical conditions of approval regarding the location of on-site fire hydrants, standpipes, etc. have been added according to fire safety requirements. B. The plan is consistent with the City's General Plan: The proposed PUD development plan and proposed modified land uses have been designed to meet applicable General Plan policies for the commercial and business park developments. The variety of retail uses proposed encourages a mix of retail uses beneficial to a large clientele. The development of a suites-type, longer-term stay hotel provides a service to the business community which is an integral part of Pleasanton's land use objectives. The proposed "high-turnover" restaurant will provide a service to the new hotel guests and provide a variety of dining experiences for the Pleasanton Park business community. C. The plan is compatible with previously developed properties in the vicinity and the natural, topographic features of the site: The site is one of the few remaining undeveloped pieces of land in the Pleasanton Park development complex and in the immediately surrounding area. The site is an infill property which is surrounded by a variety of land uses such as the existing Pleasanton Square retail center across the street, the office/industrial development of Pleasanton Park, and other restaurant and office uses in the area. Development of the site with retail uses, a suites-type long-term stay business hotel, fast-food restaurant, and high-turnover sit-down restaurant is not out of character in the area. The proposed land uses are compatible and complementary to existing uses, and probably will provide some additional services for adjacent businesses and perhaps new clientele to some existing businesses (such as hotel guest patronage of surrounding restaurants). D. 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 site is relatively flat, although the existing Hopyard Road freeway off-ramp provides some change in elevation from the ramp through the site. Limited grading will be required for building pads, on-site drive aisles and parking areas, and the installation of utilities. Grading for the proposed project would involve minimal cut and fill grading operations in order to produce the required minimal slopes necessary to achieve proper drainage of stormwater. Grading conducted on the site will be subject to engineering and building standards prior to any development.
