The application of current construction practices will prevent disturbances from significant levels of noise emanating from within the proposed residential buildings. Compliance with Building and Fire Codes will provide housing that will be safe and structurally sound for future residents. Sufficient off-street parking for the proposed studio apartments, existing single-family residence and office will be provided, and adequate fire access to all the buildings is currently available with the existing site layout. 3. That the proposed use will comply with the provisions of this code; including any specific condition required for the proposed use, in the district, in which it would be located. The Planned Development process requires additional oversight over this proposed unique use of the property, mainly to ensure that adequate measures are taken to protect the quality of life for on-site residents, and to ensure that any components of the uses of the property would not burden or negatively impact the nearby residential uses, and church and school uses. 4. That the proposed use will not create adverse impacts on traffic or create demands exceeding the capacity of public services and facilities, which cannot be mitigated. The proposed project was reviewed by the City Engineering and Transportation Department staff. It was concluded that due to its relatively small size, the project would not result in impacts to existing transportation systems, nor require any off-site transportation improvements. Thus, the project will not create demands exceeding the capacity of the existing streets. Adequate off-street parking will be provided for both the proposed studio apartments and the existing single-family residence and office uses. There is adequate public service to the project site, including but not limited to; the gas and electric company, the water district, storm water discharge, waste disposal, cable TV, and police and fire departments. 5. The Planned Development Project Plan will provide superior urban design in comparison with the development under the base district zoning regulations. The site planning for the Planned Development allows for adequate setbacks and vehicular parking. The Planned Development would require the preservation of the overall historic design and historic features of the property. 6. The Planned Development Project includes adequate provisions for utilities, services, and emergency vehicle access; and that public service demands will not exceed the capacity of the existing and planned systems. There is adequate public service provided to the site, including but not limited to the gas and electric, the water, storm water runoff, waste disposal, cable TV, and police and fire services. The Engineering and Transportation Department and Alameda County Fire Department have found the access to the site and internal circulation to be safe for vehicular, pedestrian and emergency access.
