Page 13 A motion was made by Commissioner Doherty, seconded by Commissioner Getty that the Planning Commission of the City of Pleasanton certifies that the Environmental Impact Report for the project PUD-82-13 has been completed in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, that the Commission certifies that it has reviewed and considered the information in the EIR, that the Commission finds that there are potentially significant impacts associated with this project as outlined in the document titled "Proposed Environmental Impact Findings" relating to aesthetics, soils, geology and fire pro- tection; but that the Commission further finds that the recommended conditions of approval would reduce those impacts to an insignificant level. ROLL CALL VOTE Ayes: Commissioners Doherty, Getty, Jamieson and Chairperson Lindsey Noes: None Abstain: Commissioner Wilson Absent: None Resolution No. 2208 was then entered and adopted recommending approval of the EIR for case PUD-82-13 as motioned. Commissioner Doherty made a motion seconded by Commissioner Getty that the following findings can be made with regard to the objectives of the PUD ordinance as they are reflected in case PUD-82-13: Exclude growth from those areas not well suited to urban development and protect the residents of Pleasanton from undue risks to life and property - construction will be in areas of less than 25~ slope; two separate geologic studies have been done which indicate that all building sites proposed are acceptable from a geologic hazards stand- point; and property not in a floodway or flood plain. Preserve those natural resources, whether animal, vegetable or mineral which are important to the physical, cultural, social and economic well being of the community - abundant natural open space being preserved as part of the development; and all development proposed will be unobtrusive due to controls on road locations, building heights, colors and materials, treatment of landscaped areas, and preservation of heritage size trees. Protect the lives and property of all residents, property owners or other persons associated with the community, from hazards due to fire - numerous conditions relating to access for fire fighting equipment, types of building materials to be used, types of plants to be intro- duced, amounts of fire flow required, size and type of fire suppression facilities to be installed, etc. are recommended. Mitigate hazards that may result from geologic activity, such as landslides - two geologic reports have been prepared which indicate that development of the proposed building pads would be safe if certain building and engineering practices are followed; a recommended condition of approval is that all recommendations of these two reports shall be followed.
