Resolution No. PC-2004-67 Page Three 5. Streets and buildings have been designed and located to complement the natural terrain and landscape. As conditioned, the proposed development of the site has been designed to be consistent with the Vineyard A venue Corridor Specific Plan. The access to the site would be from an existing private street, and the building pad has been designed to generally follow the site's natural contours which help minimize the visibility and reduce the amount of grading necessary to construct the building. Additionally, the proposed building is a one-story building with a small loft tucked into the roof area. The loft portion faces Vineyard A venue; thus, the rear elevation that faces the Shadow Cliff Regional Recreation Area is a 22-foot high, single-story building. This design would reduce the building's visibility from the adjacent recreation 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 access to and from the proposed building would be from a private street rather than a busy public street (Vineyard Avenue). A berm would be created along the Vineyard Avenue side of the lot to provide a noise and landscape buffer to separate the house form Vineyard A venue. Therefore, this finding can be made. 7. The proposed development plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD District. The development ofthe existing PUD zoning designations for the Vineyard Avenue area recognized the fact that the parcels in the area are irregularly shaped 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, through the conditioning ofthe subject PUD development plan, would substantially conform to the requirements of the 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 of the Zoning Ordinance set forth in Pleasanton Municipal Code Section 18.04.010. .
