<br />Staff believes that the proposed development's grading has done a good job of balancing <br />the requirements of being sensitive to the site and adjoining properties as well as propos- <br />ing grading that is needed to ereate the proposed development. Therefore, staff believes <br />that this finding can be made. <br /> <br />4. Whether grading in conjunction with the proposed development plan takes into ac- <br />count environmental characteristics and is designed in keeping with the best engi- <br />neering practices to avoid erosion, slides, or flooding, and to have as minimal an ef- <br />fect upon the environment as possible. <br /> <br />. Requirements of the Uniform Building Code - implemented by the City at the Build- <br />ing Permit review - would ensure that building foundations and private street/on-site <br />parking/driveway areas are constructed on satisfactorily compacted fill. <br /> <br />. Erosion control and dust suppression measures will be documented in the final subdi- <br />vision map and will be administered by the City's Building and Public Works De- <br />partments. <br /> <br />Staff, therefore, believes that this finding can be made. <br /> <br />5. Whether adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into the design of <br />the proposed development plan: <br /> <br />. Because the subject property is located in an Alquist-Priolo Special study zone for the <br />Calaveras earthquake fault, a geotechnical analysis was conducted of the site that was <br />peer reviewed and found to be complete by the City Engineer. The analysis identified <br />geotechnical setback line for the property that is shown on the development plan will <br />ensure that the future structures will be set an acceptable distance from the fault trace. <br /> <br />. All construction would be designed to meet the requirements of the Uniform Building <br />Code, other applicable City codes, and State of California mandated noise, energy, <br />and accessibility requirements. <br /> <br />. The project site adjoins existing publie streets with adequate emergeney vehicle ac- <br />cess. All streets meet City standards and are adequate to handle anticipated traffic <br />volumes. <br /> <br />. Adequate access is provided to all structures for police, fire, and other emergency <br />vehicles. <br /> <br />Staff, therefore, believes that this finding can be made. <br /> <br />Item 6.c" PUD-58 and PGPA-II <br /> <br />Page 32 of 34 <br /> <br />August 23, 2006 <br />
