Resolution No. PC-96-85 Page 3 4. The development plan modification is compatible with the natural, topographic features of the site: The subject property is flat. Minimal grading is required for building pads and public utilities. All lots are designed to drain to the face-of-curb. Excess storm water runoff will be directed into public street storm drains. 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 Stoneridge 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 constructed on satisfactorily compacted fill. Erosion control and dust suppression measures will be documented in the final map and will be administered by the City's Building and Public Works Departments. 6. Adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into the design of the modified development plan: - All on-site streets and parking areas generally meet City standards and are adequate to handle anticipated traffic volumes. 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. Adequate access is provided to all structures for police, fire, and other emergency vehicles. 7. The modified development plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD District: The proposed modification to the previously approved PUD development plan implements the purposes of the City's PUD Ordinance by providing clustered, small-lot single-family homes that are well-designed and sited on the subject property, that fulfills the desires of the applicant to address a niche of the housing market, and that meets the City's General Plan goals and policies. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission determined that the PUD modification to replace townhouse units with cluster-type single-family detached units is appropriate.
