<br />allowed in the business park. The traffic analysis conducted for the overall 193,481 <br />square-foot development included the trips generated by these uses. In conjunction <br />with this developrnent, the project developer will construct irnprovements to the <br />Stanley Boulevard/Valley Avenue/Bernal Avenue intersection to maintain a Level- <br />Of-Service "D" for the existing/approved/project developrnent scenario. <br /> <br />Staft~ therefore, believes that this finding can be made. <br /> <br />2. Whether the proposed development plan modification is compatible with previously <br />developed properties located in the vicinity of the plan: <br /> <br />The Stanley Business Park already permits a limited number of retail and service <br />cornmercial uses intended to serve the business park tenants. The proposed neighbor- <br />hood commercial uses will augment these uses. Located across Bernal Avenue is a <br />McDonald's restaurant with drive-through, a self-service gasoline service station with <br />a convenience market and a carwash, and a 15,500 square-foot commercial develop- <br />ment now under construction. Staff, therefore, considers the proposed neighborhood <br />uses allowed by this modification to be consistent with the developrnent pattern of <br />Bernal Avenue. <br /> <br />Staft~ therefore, believes that this finding can be made. <br /> <br />3. Whether the proposed development plan modification is compatible with the natu- <br />ral, topographic features of the site: <br /> <br />The proposed development plan modification affects only the uses allowed on this <br />site. Since the site is flat and the uses that would be allowed by the modification do <br />not affect grading, staff considers the proposal and grading issues to be mutually ex- <br />clusive. <br /> <br />Therefore, staff believes that this linding is not applicable to the proposed modi fication. <br /> <br />4. Whether grading in conjunction with the proposed development plan modification <br />takes into account environmental characteristics and is designed in keeping with the <br />best engineering practices to avoid erosion, slides, or flooding, and to have as mini- <br />mal an effect upon the environment as possible. <br /> <br />The proposed development plan modification affects only uses. Since the site is flat <br />and the uses that would be allowed by the modilication do not atIect grading, statI <br />considers the proposal and grading issues to be mutually exclusive. <br /> <br />Therefore, staff believes that this finding is not applicable to the proposed modification. <br /> <br />1'c[lP-1651l' DR-5291l' MOD-81-25-7M <br /> <br />Page 46 of48 <br /> <br />Decemher 13. 2006 <br />
