6. whether adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into the design of the plan; and 7. whether the plan confonns to the purposes of the PUD District. FISCAL IMPACT The proposed project is an infill development and would be connecting to existing infrastructure. The project developer would install a public sidewalk, a public streetlight, and would be required to pay development and traffic impact fees as specified in the conditions of approval. The applicant would be providing all additional site improvements related to the development. The City would be required to provide ongoing infrastructure maintenance as with any other development. Very little additional fiscal impact is anticipated in that any maintenance costs are ordinary City costs. Common area landscaping, storm water vegetated swales, and the Arroyo embankment would be maintained by the homeowners association and Alameda County, owner of the Arroyo embankment. CONCLUSION The site is an infill site in the City and is zoned for high-density residential development. Staff feels that the proposed PUD-HDR zoning and density are appropriate for the site. Staff believes that the project is attractively designed and would be compatible with the neighborhood. The applicant will construct both on- and off-site improvements which will blend in with the existing neighborhood. The landscaping has been designed to provide enhancements, seasonal color, and privacy to the adjacent developments as needed. The site design has considered the existing vegetation and, where possible, have incorporated existing features. In staffs opinion, the project, with its affordable housing component, will provide a benefit to this community.
