<br />2. The site is physically suitable for this type of <br />development and density. <br /> <br />Although the construction of the proposed project <br />will involve significant site grading and <br />alteration of the natural terrain, this would be <br />achieved within city standards. The results of the <br />geologic study submitted with the tentative map <br />application indicate that areas of particular <br />concern (i.e. the large fill bank south of <br />Lots 21-23) can safely and satisfactorily support a <br />2-to-1 slope. The grading and landscaping have <br />been designed to minimize City concerns for <br />visibility of the future homes from the I-580 <br />freeway. The density of development is consistent <br />with the General Plan and would result in a <br />transition of densities from the high density <br />condominiums to the east to the rural properties to <br />the west. <br /> <br />3. The design of the subdivision and proposed <br />improvements will not cause substantial <br />environmental damage or substantially and avoidably <br />injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. <br /> <br />The project has been designed to confine the most <br />intense development to the areas outside the area <br />surrounding Dublin Creek in the southern portion of <br />the site. Project elements such as the selection <br />of plant species, fence design, and the design of <br />the culvert crossing would minimize impacts to <br />plant and animal species in the vicinity. The <br />project has been reviewed and is subject to <br />issuance of a 1603 stream Bed Permit by the <br />Department of Fish and Game. <br /> <br />4. The design of the subdivision is not likely to <br />cause serious public health problems. <br /> <br />All improvements within the subdivision would be <br />designed and built to City standards for water, <br />sewer, storm drainage, and access/circulation. <br />Furthermore, the geotechnical analysis includes <br />recommendations to ensure the stability of graded <br />slopes in the development. <br /> <br />5. The design of the subdivision or its related <br />improvements will not conflict with easements, <br />acquired by the public at large, for access through <br />or use of property within the proposed subdivision. <br /> <br />There are currently no public easements affecting <br />the property. A condition of the PUD approval <br />would allow public access along the creek area <br />
