Resolution No. PC-96-89 Page 2 The project owner will participate to its pro-rata share in any future assessment district funding the construction of the 1-680/West Las Positas Boulevard freeway interchange, or an alternative City program to maintain north Pleasanton traffic levels to the standards of the Circulation Element of the P1easanton General Plan. The proposed floor area ratio would be 54.7%, which conforms to the 60% maximum floor area ratio allowed for this site by the P1easanton General Plan. Based on the proposed project's traffic analysis, traffic conditions on Hopyard Road and Stoneridge Drive intersections and 1-580 and 1-680 freeway interchanges would be within the level-of-service standards of the Pleasanton General Plan. Adequate on-site parking is provided for the proposed development. 3. The proposed development plan modification is compatible with previously developed properties located in the vicinity of the site: Exterior building design elements and finishes complement the design of the adjacent Signature Center office buildings. The proposed building height and visual mass complements the mass and scale of the adjacent office buildings and, additionally, does not overpower its site and street frontages. 4. Whether 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: Grading will be limited to the building pad, parking and driveway areas, and to raise the site's grade where necessary to drain the site towards public storm drain and sanitary sewer lines. 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. The site's existing perimeter berms will be retained and incorporated into the project.
