As discussed in section IV. A. above, the plan as proposed is consistent with the General Plan land use designations of Rural Density and Low Density Residential, but the plan is n!2t consistent with land use policies of the General Plan, such as maintaining average densities across the site, maintaining the site's holding capacity of 51 units, and providing on-site tlublic amenities to off-set the proposed above-average density. The SEIR suggests mitigation measures to make the project consistent with General Plan policies, and staff has recommended implementing these or similar measures. The project would be consistent with General Plan policies only if the number of lots proposed were reduced to 51, or if a useable. tlublic amenity is provided to off-set the increased density. with the recommended mitigation measures for further geotechnical study and with proper landslide repair measures, the project can meet the General Plan Safety Element pOlicy of "acceptable risk". staff has conditioned that elimination of lots from the plan may be required if the repair measures necessary to achieve "acceptable risk" are determined to be too drastic. 3. developed natural, The plan is compatible with previously properties in the vicinity and the topographic features of the site: As noted in the SEIR, the vicinity is characterized by low density residential development. Development of this site would be a continuation of the trend of residential development along the west side of Foothill Road. Properties immediately adjacent to the site have been developed on larger lots, with homes that generally maintain a fairly low profile. Mitigation measures and conditions of approval would require the project to maintain land use and visual consistency with adjacent properties. The development plan for the site generally is sensitive to the natural features of the site. The majority of the residences would be located on the flat portion of the site, with only a few homes located in hillside areas. Restrictions on structure height, lot-grading, landscaping and requirements for split-pad homes would make the project compatible with the natural terrain.
