Resolution No. PC-2004-59 Page Two 2. The proposed development plan is consistent with the City's General Plan and the North Sycamore Specific Plan. The North Sycamore Specific Plan was developed to implement the City's General Plan for the North Sycamore Area. The Sycamore Specific Plan has been found to be consistent with the General Plan policies including development outside 100-year flood zone areas, development on stable soils, and densities consistent with surrounding properties. The development plan and standards help to ensure compatibility between land uses within the planning area and seeks to minimize impact on natural resources such as trees. Therefore, this finding can be made. 3. The proposed development plan is compatible with previously developed properties in the vicinity and the natural, topographic features of the site. The proposed project is incorporated with numerous provisions to integrate the design of the buildings with the nearby single-family homes and surrounding area. The subject property is relatively flat. Minimal grading would be required to accommodate the proposed project. Therefore, this finding can be made. 4. Grading in conjunction with the proposed development plan takes into account enviromnental 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 enviromnent as possible. As previously stated, the relative flat project site would require minimal grading. Construction would be required to conform to the requirements of the Uniform Building Code, implemented by the City at the building permit review. The subject property is not located in an Alquist-Priolo Special Study zone. All construction activities are limited to the hours of8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. All construction equipment must meet Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) noise standards and shall be equipped with muffling devices. Therefore, this finding can be made. 5. Adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into the design of the proposed development plan. All construction would be designed to meet the requirements of the Uniform Building Code, other applicable City codes, and State of California-mandated noise, energy, and accessibility requirements. The project site adjoins an existing public street with adequate emergency vehicle access. Therefore, this finding can be made. "' .
