Resolution No. PC-2004-06 Page Four Public Works Department. Urban clean water runoff measures will be incorporated into the project through conditions of approval. The property is not located in the Alquist-Priolo Study Zone. The flood hazard maps of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) indicate that the Arroyo del Valle is located within the 100-year flood area. However, all proposed development would be outside this area. Therefore, as conditioned, the grading is designed in keeping with the best engineering practices and would have a minimal impact on the environment, and this finding can be made. 6. Adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into the design of the proposed development plan. The improvements associated with this project would be consistent with City design standards. All on site drive aisles meet City standards for emergency vehicle access. As conditioned, the address on the monument sign would be indirectly illuminated at night for easy reading by emergency personnel. The building would be equipped with an automatic fire suppression system (sprinklers). The project would be required to comply with all building and fire code requirements. Therefore, the plan has been designed and conditioned to incorporate adequate public safety measures, and this finding can be made. 7. The proposed development plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD District. The proposed PUD development plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD District. One of these purposes is to ensure that the desires of the developer and the community are understood prior to the commencement of construction. The proposed project implements the purposes of the PUD ordinance in this case by providing a Downtown office building that is well-designed and sited on the subject property, that fulfills the desires of the applicant, and that meets the City's General Plan and Downtown Specific Plan goals and policies. The PUD process allows for ample input from the public and for an ultimate decision by the City Council regarding the appropriateness of the proposed use and development plan. Through the PUD process, the proposed project has provided residents, the applicant, and the City with a rezoning and development plan which optimizes the use of this underutilized infill site in a sensitive manner. Therefore, this finding can be made. 8. For the reasons articulated above, the proposed rezoning is consistent with the objectives of the Zoning Ordinance set forth in Pleasanton Municipal Code Section 18.04.010.
