Resolution No. 2007-01 Page Three 5. Streets and buildings have been designed and located to complement the natural terrain and landscape: As conditioned, the proposed development of the site has been designed to be consistent with the requirements of the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan. The building pads are generally graded flat; however, the areas around them have been designed to slope in a manner similar to the existing contours. In addition, the extension of Clara Lane will be designed to complement the natural terrain. Therefore, this finding can be made. 6. Adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into the design of the plan. The project, as conditioned, will be consistent with City safety standards. The homes will be equipped with automatic fire suppression systems (fire sprinklers). The project does include an emergency access driveway and "y"-hammerhead, as required by the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan. The project will be required to comply with all building and fire code requirements, and the applicants will be providing a fire hydrant. Therefore, the plan has been designed and conditioned to incorporate adequate public safety measures, and this finding can be made. 7. The plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD District.
