4. Whether 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. Prior to the approval of PUD-O I, a geotechnical status of the slope stability for the bank of the Arroyo del Valle was reviewed and peer-reviewed by geotechnical consultants. The determination was the proposed location is on stable bank and that a 20-foot building setback is required. The reports and geotechnical peer review comments were accepted bas stable by the City Engineer. The proposed modification does not alter the approved setback, The proposed building on the subject lot will meet the setback requirements. Therefore, staff believes that this finding can be made. 5. Whether streets and buildings have been designed and located to complement the natural terrain and landscape. The grading for the lots covered by PUD-O I has been done in a manner consistent with the requirements and geotechnical report recommendations that have been provided for the development. The location and the configuration of the public street follow natural contours, The approved design guidelines require the installation of street trees of native species. All private lots are designed to drain to the face-of-curb. Excess storm water runoff would be directed into public street storm drain. The proposed modification does not affect the grading and drainage, Therefore, staff believes that this finding can be made. 6. Whether adequate public safety measures haven incorporated into the design ofthe plan. All homes covered by PUD-O 1 approval are conditioned to be designed to meet the requirements of the Uniform Building Code, other applicable City codes, and State of Cali fomi a mandated noise, energy, and accessibility requirements. All streets are constructed to meet City standards and are adequate to handle anticipated traffic volumes.
