The project is conditioned to finance its share of the costs to widen El Charro Road, improve the El Charro Road/I-580 interchange, construct the stoneridge Drive bridge over the Arroyo Mocho, and construct 26 acres of public parks in the Specific Plan area. The project site lies well outside the Airport Land Use Commission's (ALUC) clear zone, approach zone, and 65 CNEL noise contour adopted by the Livermore Airport. The adopted ALUC safety zone, which defines compatible and incompatible land uses extends only to the east side of El Charro Road. Because the height of the proposed project structures is less than 52', they would not be affected by these regulations. Full public street improvements including streets, curb, gutter, and sidewalks, and adequate storm drains, sanitary sewer, water service facilities and on-site utilities will be installed by the developer. 2. The plan is consistent with the City's General Plan: By constructing two on-site recreation areas and contributing to the construction of the linear and neighborhood public parks in the Specific Plan area, the project conforms to the General Plan policy requiring public amenities when density exceeds the mid-point of the site's General Plan land use designation -- in this case 62 units. Proposed project density is 5.4 dulac, which conforms to the Specific Plan's Low Density Residential (<2 du/ac) and Medium Density Residential (2-8 du/ac) land use designation for the site. 3. The plan is compatible with previously properties in the vicinity and the topographic features of the site: The site is surrounded by a variety of small- and large-lot single-family residential land uses. Buildings are well-proportioned and richly articulated. The site plan avoids the wall-like building effect that has been a major concern expressed by surrounding property owners. Landscaping is attractive, frames public and private views, and ties the project in with surrounding development. developed natural,
