Resolution No. PC-2006-23 Page Two The proposed development plan is consistent with the City's General Plan. The Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan was developed to implement the City's General Plan for the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan Area. The Specific Plan has been found to be consistent with the General Plan policies including development outside 100-year flood zone azeas, development on stable soils, and densities consistent with surrounding properties. Mitigation measures specified by the Specific Plan applicable to the proposed project, e.g., fresh air ventilation and/or air-conditioning system that allows residents to maintain closed windows for noise and dust control, dual paned windows, disclosure clauses and statements, etc., are addressed with draft conditions of approval. Therefore, this finding can be made. The proposed development plan is compatible with previously developed properties located in the vicinity of the plan. The project site is an infill property surrounded by a variety of existing residential homes. The proposed development plan incorporates numerous provisions -limitations on building heights, setbacks, maximum floor azea, etc., - to integrate the design of the planned buildings on these lots with the nearby single-family homes and surrounding area. All public streets approved for this site by the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan would be constructed by the project developer. The proposed public streets are located in a manner which is consistent with the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan, with City standazds, and which provides two points of access to the proposed development for access and/or emergency vehicle access purposes. All house construction activities are limited to the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. All construction equipment must meet Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) noise standards and shall be equipped with muffling devices. Therefore, this finding can be made 4. The proposed development plan is compatible with previously developed properties located in the vicinity and the natural, topographic features of the site. The proposed development plan is designed to reflect the site's existing topographic condition, to minimize impacts on adjoining properties, and to be consistent with the requirements and geotechnical report recommendations that have been prepazed for the proposed project. Although the proposed lots are predominantly flat-pad lots, graded areas are minimized. The location and configuration of the proposed lots and public streets generally follow natural contours. All private lots will be designed to drain to bio-retention areas designed to pre-treat stormwater runoff before entering the City's storm drain system.
