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