Resolution No. PC-96-64 Page 3 City Building Code requirements would ensure that building foundations and roadways are constructed on properly prepared surfaces. The design of the proposed development would provide adequate drainage to prevent flooding. Urban cleanwater runoff measures will be incorporated into the project through conditions of approval. The property is not located in an Alquist-Priolo Special Study Zone. According to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Flood Hazard maps, no portion of the site is located in a flood hazard zone. E. The streets and buildings have been designed and located to complement the natural terrain and landscape: On-site driveways and buildings have been located and designed to complement the natural terrain by creating only minor changes to the site's relatively flat topography. Buildings are located on the site to take advantage of existing common access driveways. The retail buildings have been oriented to take advantage of freeway visibility, visibility from Johnson Drive, and to promote a relationship with Pleasanton Square I. The restaurants have been located so that they have high visibility from the streets. The hotel has been located more towards the center of the site to provide a quieter, less-busy atmosphere for hotel guests. Johnson Drive and Owens Drive already are improved with landscaped berms and sidewalks. Except for the widening required along Owens Drive, these landscaped PSEs will remain undisturbed. F. Adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into the design of the plan: The project architect and engineer have designed the site plan with five points of access to ensure that the public and safety personnel are not hindered in efforts to gain access to or exit the site. As designed and conditioned, all driveways and on-site drive aisles meet City standards which would ensure that adequate access is provided to all structures for police, fire, and other emergency vehicles. The site will be equipped with fire hydrants, standpipes, and other apparatus necessary to ensure adequate fire suppression coverage in times of emergency. Building Code requirements would ensure that all structures meet safety requirements for construction, handicap access, and emergency exiting. G. The plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD District: The proposed PUD rezoning and development plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD district. One of these purposes is to insure that the desires of the developer and the community are understood and approved prior to commencement of construction. Another is to provide a mechanism whereby the City can designate parcels and areas requiring special consideration regarding the manner in which development occurs.
