3. Whether the proposed development plan modification is compatible with the natural, topographic features of the site: The site is essentially flat varying in grade from a 0- to 2.0- percent site grade. The existing site features to be removed with the proposed construction include parking, landscaping, and a tennis court. Therefore, staff believes that this finding can be made. 4. Whether grading in conjunction with the proposed development plan modification takes into account environmental characteristics and is designed in keeping with the best engineering practices to avoid erosion, slides, or flooding, and to have as minimal an effect upon the environment as possible. The site is serviced by City infrastructure including public water, sanitary sewer, and storm drain lines and is not subject to flooding. The units will be designed and constructed to achieve City noise standards. Adequate street capacity is available to serve the new units. Staff, therefore, believes that this finding can be made. 5. Whether adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into the design of the proposed development plan modification: All construction would be designed to meet the requirements of the Uniform Building Code and other applicable City codes, and State of California mandated noise, energy, and accessibility requirements. The proposed units will be equipped with residential fire sprinkler systems. The project site is served by public streets and internally by private streets providing adequate access for residents, guests, and emergency vehicles. All streets meet City standards and are adequate to handle anticipated traffic volumes. Staff, therefore, believes that this finding can be made. 6. Whether the proposed development plan modification conforms to the purposes of the PUD District: The proposed PUD Development Plan modification is consistent with the Pleasanton General Plan and with the surrounding area. The proposed PUD Development Plan implements the purposes of the City's PUD Ordinance by providing 12 new multi family units for a combination of moderate income and low- income households. The new units will be in relative close proximity to schools, the Pleasanton downtown area, the City library, and public transit facilities including bus and rail. Staff, therefore, believes that this finding can be made. Item 6 .c., PUDM- 84- 21 -04M Page 11 of 12 March 25, 2009
