Ordinance No. 2308 <br />Page 9 of 12 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Building placement, orientation, and design have been carefully considered to <br />reduce visual prominence and integrate with the surrounding landscape. <br />Landscaping with native and drought-tolerant species further enhances the site’s <br />natural character. Therefore, streets and buildings have been designed to <br />complement the natural terrain, and this finding can be made. <br /> <br />F. Whether adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into the <br />design of the plan: <br /> <br />The Project includes multiple public safety features, including roadway <br />improvements and site access designed to meet City and Livermore Pleasanton <br />Fire District standards for visibility and emergency response, ingress and egress. <br />Internal roadways are designed to accommodate emergency vehicles, including <br />adequate turning radii and access to all structures. <br /> <br />The Project incorporates fire protection measures. All structures would be <br />constructed in accordance with applicable Building and Fire Codes and would <br />include fire suppression systems. Therefore, adequate public safety measures <br />have been incorporated into the Project design, and this finding can be made. <br /> <br />G. Whether the plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD District: <br /> <br />The proposed PUD Development Plan conforms to the purposes of the PUD <br />District by allowing flexibility in site design to achieve a development that is <br />responsive to the site’s environmental constraints while meeting City goals and <br />policies. The Project provides public benefits, such as a private park with a public <br />access easement, and provides housing at a density consistent with the applicable <br />land use designations of the East Pleasanton area. <br /> <br />Through the PUD process, the Project has been designed to balance development <br />with environmental preservation, infrastructure improvements, and community <br />benefits. This approach reflects the intent of the PUD ordinance to encourage <br />innovative and sensitive site planning. Therefore, the Project conforms to the <br />purposes of the PUD District, and this finding can be made. <br /> <br />SECTION 4: Findings for Approval of Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map 8423. <br />With respect to Tract 8423, the City Council makes the following findings and <br />determinations with respect to Pleasanton Municipal Code Section 19.20.110(A): <br /> <br />A.
