Resolution No. PC-9S-85 Page 2 2. The proposed PUD modification is consistent with the City's General Plan: The proposed modification does not involve any further division of the five existing lots; density would not be increased. The General Plan policy of preserving the character of existing neighborhoods with new development would be met since the proposed 15' 0" building separation would not be a significant departure from the existing building separations in the neighborhood. 3. The proposed major modification is compatible with previously developed properties in the vicinity and the natural, topographic features of the site: Nearby neighborhoods feature houses 1,800 sq. ft. to 2,000 sq. ft. in floor area constructed on lots varying in area from 7,500 sq. ft. to 8,500 sq. ft. Building separations in the neighborhood conform to zoning standards: 10' 0" to 12' 0" between two, one-story buildings, 17' 0" between a one-story and two-story building, and 20' 0" between two, two-story buildings. Building separations are larger because of the requirements of the R-1-6,SOO zoning district or where one- story homes are located next to each other on "pie-shaped" lots. Where one-story homes are located on rectangular lots, the building separation is, typically, 10' 0" to 12' 0" per the R-1-6,500 zoning district. For the proposed house plans, the combination of the 15' 0" building separation, 18' 0" single- story building height, sloped roofs, and stepped building pads descending with East Angela Street from Bernal Avenue, work together making the proposed houses compatible with the surrounding area. The proposed building plans match the 4' 0" front- to-back difference in height of the split-pad lots. The five lots are located in an area of existing residential development. 4. Adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into the design of the plan: II .
