Resolution No. PC-2004-35 Page Three 5. Streets and buildings have been designed and located to complement the natural terrain and landscape. As conditioned, the proposed development ofthe site has been designed to be consistent with the requirements of the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan. The street serving the development was aligned parallel to the site's contours in order to minimize its view from off-site and allow the elevations of the building pads to follow the gently-sloping natural terrain of the area. Therefore, this finding can be made. 6. Adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into the design of the proposed development plan. Through the provisions of the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan and the proposed conditions of approval, all public safety measures would be addressed. The proposed design of the street system and hammerhead turnaround will create a safe circulation pattern. A sidewalk would be installed along the project's Vineyard Avenue frontage, which would provide a safe pedestrian walkway separate from vehicular travel. Therefore, this finding can be made. 7. The proposed development plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD District. The development of the existing PUD zoning designations for the Vineyard A venue area recognized the fact that the parcels in the area are irregularly shaped, that infrastructure needs to be provided to allow for development ofthe area, and that the PUD zoning district was needed in order to properly implement the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan and to facilitate development in a reasonable and orderly manner. The proposed PUD plan, as conditioned, sets forth the parameters for the future development in a manner consistent with the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan, and through the conditioning ofthe subject PUD development plan, the proposed project will substantially conform to the requirements ofthe Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan. Therefore, this finding can be made. 8. For the reasons articulated above, the proposed rezoning is consistent with the objectives ofthe Zoning Ordinance set forth in Pleasanton Municipal Code Section 18.04.010.
