3. Whether the proposed development plan modification is compatible with the natu- ral, topographic features of the site: The proposed development plan modification affects only the uses allowed on this site. Since the site is flat and the uses that would be allowed by the modification do not affect grading, staff considers the proposal and grading issues to be mutually ex- clusive. Cherefore, staff believes that this finding is not applicable to the proposed modification. 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 mini- mal an effect upon the environment as possible. The proposed development plan modification affects only uses. Since the site is flat and the uses that would be allowed by the modification do not affect grading, staff considers the proposal and grading issues to be mutually exclusive. Therefore, staff believes that this finding is not applicable to the proposed modification. 5. 6. Whether adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into the design of the proposed development plan modification: ^ All uses and their tenancies would be designed and operated to meet the requirements of the Uniform Building Code and City Fire Codes, other applicable City codes, and State of California mandated noise, energy, and accessibility requirements. ^ The project site adjoins existing public streets with adequate emergency vehicle ac- cess and proposed parking areas to serve these uses. All streets, accesses, and drive- way aisles meet City standards and are adequate to handle anticipated traffic volumes. ^ Adequate access is provided to all structures for police, fire, and other emergency ve- hicles. Staff, therefore, believes that this finding can be made. Whether the proposed development plan modification conforms to the purposes of the PUD District: The proposed PUD development plan modification implements the purposes of the City's PUD Ordinance by augmenting the existing service commercial uses allowed on the site with neighborhood commercial uses that would serve the business park tenants as well as the nearby residential areas. "I'he proposed uses conform to the property's underlying land use designation of the Pleasanton General Plan. Staff, therefore, believes that this finding can be made.
