<br />residential projects that are prepared pursuant to the requirements of an adopted specific <br />plan, for which an EIR has been prepared and certified, are exempt from additional <br />environmental review. Therefore, no environmental document accompanies this report. <br />PUD CONSIDERATIONS <br />The Zoning Ordinance of the Municipal Code sets forth purposes of the Planned Unit <br />Development District and "considerations" to be addressed when reviewing a PUD <br />development plan. Please see the attached Planning Commission Staff Report for an <br />analysis of these considerations: <br />1. Whether the plan is in the best interest of the public health, safety <br /> and general welfare. <br />2. Whether the plan is consistent with the City's General Plan. <br />3. Whether the plan is compatible with previously developed properties <br /> in the vicinity and the natural, topographic features of the site. <br />4. Whether the grading takes into account environmental <br /> characteristics and is designed in keeping with the best engineering <br /> practices to avoid erosion, slides, or flooding to have as minimal an <br /> effect upon the environment as possible. <br />5. Whether streets and buildings have been designed and located to <br /> complement the natural terrain and landscape. <br />6. Whether adequate public safety measures have been incorporated <br /> into the design of the plan. <br />7. Whether the plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD District. <br />FISCAL IMP ACT <br />The project is an infill development connecting to existing adequately sized <br />infrastructure. The applicant will be providing all additional site improvements related to <br />connections to existing facilities and will replace any damages in kind. The City will be <br />required to provide ongoing infrastructure maintenance as with any other development. <br />Very little additional fiscal impact is anticipated in that with the project has ordinary City <br />costs, with all the landscaping being maintained by the property owners. The applicant <br />would be paying $28,000 into the Downtown In-Lieu Parking Fund. <br />CONCLUSION <br />The subject site is an infill lot designed in conformity with the General Plan and <br />Downtown Specific Plan. Infill developments, especially those in the Downtown, have <br />various challenges and site constraints requiring often times the flexibility allowed by the <br />SR:05:258 <br />Page II <br />
