PUD CONSIDERATIONS The Zoning Ordinance of the Municipal Code sets forth purposes of the Planned Unit Development District and "considerations" to be addressed when reviewing a PUD development plan. Please see the Planning Commission Staff Report (Attachment 15) for an analysis of these considerations: I. Whether the plan is in the best interest of the public health, safety and general welfare. 2. Whether the plan is consistent with the City's General Plan. 3. Whether the plan is compatible with previously developed properties in the vicinity and the natural, topographic features of the site. 4. Whether the grading takes into account environmental characteristics and is designed in keeping with the best engineering practices to avoid erosion, slides, or flooding to have as minimal an effect upon the environment as possible. 5. Whether streets and buildings have been designed and located to complement the natural terrain and landscape. 6. Whether adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into the design of the plan. 7. Whether the plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD District. Two additional findings were made by the Planning Commission related to the consideration related to consistency with the General Plan. As noted in the above Planning Commission recommendation, staff recommends the City Council also include those considerations: 8. The reduction in density from the 18 units identified in the Housing Element to II units is consistent with the adopted General Plan, including the Housing Element, as set forth in the staff report. The City is currently considering parcels for allowing or increasing residential densities as part of the General Plan Update. Other areas may allow greater densities which, in turn, could support additional affordable housing, which would be consistent with the City's General Plan and Housing Element, particularly in the light of the voter-imposed housing cap. 9. With the ongoing General Plan Update, sufficient additional, adequate, and available alternative sites are being identified to keep the City's overall number of housing units consistent with the Housing Element and regional housing need allocation.
