Resolutio» No. PC'-2005-52 Page 7 wo 2. "I1ac proposed development plan is consistent with the City s General Ylan "fhe proposed pro_ject's land use, Medium Density Residential, conforms to the "Medium Density RcsidentiaP' Land Use 1~;lenient designation for the project site- The General Plan land use designation for the subject site is Medium Density Kesidential two to eight dwelling units par gross acre~_ The proposed project, with eleven units on approxiarrately 4.2 gross acres, has a density of 2.62 gross der~sity units per acre and 2.92 net density units per acre t;DUA~_ This DUA is at the lowest end of the two-to-eight DL1A allowed within the site's current designation and is in specific duplication of the precedents cstabhshed. by the prior subdivisions adjacent to this project site. Thus, the proposed developn~rent plan is consistent with the City's general flan, and this finding can be made. 3. The proposed development plan is coanpatible with previously developed properties located in the vicinity and the natural., topographic Features of the site. "I'he project site is surrounded by single-faaraily residential to the east zu~rd, as conditioned, the proposed project would be corrrpatible with the residential character in the area- The height of the proposed buildings is within the height range of surrounding buildings. "1'he site is rcl atively ll at, and rrrinirrral grading is proposed on the site for drainage purposes. The plan, as conditioned, is con-~patiblc, witla the previous}y developed properties and the aiatural topographic features of the site; therefore, this finding can be rnade_ 4. Grading takes into account environmental characteristics and is designed in kecpitig with the best engineering practices to avoid erosion, slides, or flooding to have as n~rinirrral an effect upon the environment as possible- The subject site is IIat and has a general slope of O.5 percent- "1'herefo rc, as conditioned, the minimal grading required is designed ire keeping with the best engineering practices and would riot have an impact on the environmerzt., arzd this finding can be rnade_ 5_ Streets and building have been designed and located to complement the natural terrain and landscape. The prof eci site is at the terminus of recently developed residential areas of the City. Rose Avenue will need to be extended only to the limits of this project site and would not involve the extension to Valley Avenue at this time. "1"he proposed project will construct street irrrproven~ents in conforrnity with the street sections established on Rose Avenue- There is little natural terrain in the vicinity.
