<br />Resolution No. PC-95-84 <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />Nevertheless, there is no maximum number of units associated <br />with the high density residential General Plan designation, so <br />the project would conform to the General Plan. The proposed <br />change to the site's land use designation is in conformance <br />with current General Plan policy to encourage housing in <br />infill areas which are adjacent to existing residential <br />development. It also is consistent with proposed General Plan <br />recommendations to zone properties to encourage development in <br />infill areas. <br /> <br />Other applicable General Plan policies with which the <br />development would be consistent include separating vehicular, <br />bicycle and pedestrian traffic through the installation of <br />sidewalks and dedication of roadway for final Stanley <br />Boulevard improvements. The developer of this property will <br />be required to install sidewalk along the property's frontage. <br />All structures also will meet energy conservation requirements <br />and provide outdoor and indoor living areas within acceptable <br />noise levels, with some mitigation. <br /> <br />3. The plan is compatible with previously developed properties in <br />the vicinity and the natural, topographic features of the <br />site. <br /> <br />The site is an infill property located in an area of mixed <br />residential land uses. While much of the surrounding <br />development consists of single-family homes, there are pockets <br />of multiple family development in the vicinity. Although this <br />project proposes unit densities double that of previous high <br />density residential development in the area, the impacts of <br />the proposed development will be less, in comparison, given <br />the nature of the housing development. <br /> <br />The project generally is suited to the flat site. Grading for <br />the project would require minimum cut and fill operations in <br />order to produce the required minimal slopes necessary to <br />achieve proper drainage of storm water from the project's hard <br />surfaced areas. <br /> <br />4. The grading takes into account environmental characteristics <br />and is designed in keeping with the best engineering practices <br />to avoid erosion, slides, or flooding to have as minimal an <br />effect upon the environment as possible. <br /> <br />The subject property is relatively flat. Grading will be <br />limited to building pads and surface parking. City building <br />code requirements would ensure that building foundations and <br />roadways are constructed on properly prepared surfaces. <br />Erosion control and dust suppression measures will be <br />documented during the building permit phase and administered <br />by the City's Building Department.
