Exhibit B Recommended Findings of Fact October 21, 2019 PLN17-0034 311 MacArthur Boulevard Page 4 of 6 Per Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) trip generation manual, a 20-unit townhome development would generate approximately 10 trips in the PM peak hour and approximately 116 vehicle trips per day. The ITE trip general manual does not include a specific land use category for social service uses, so the trip generation rates for Recreational Community Center are applied in this case. The existing use generates approximately 259 daily trips and 16 trips in the PM peak hour. Therefore, the proposed project is anticipated to generate approximately 143 fewer daily vehicle trips than the former use. In addition, alternative travel modes are available and easily accessible from the subject property. Several AC Transit bus stops are located on MacArthur Boulevard directly in front of the proposed site (Routes 34, 35, and NX3), with routes that extend from Hayward BART to San Francisco Salesforce Transit Center, as well as a striped Class II bike lane in the southbound direction and a Class I shared bike lane in the northbound direction. There is adequate public service to the proposed development, including but not limited to: the gas and electric company, the water district, waste disposal, cable TV and police and fire department. 5. The Planned Development Project Plan will provide superior urban design in comparison with the development under the base district zoning regulations. Given the irregularly-shaped corner lot located at the nexus of a commercial corridor and single-family district, the Planned Development provides a design plan that allows for one congruous development on a site that contains two separate base zoning districts, CC and RS. The townhome development with semi-private yards and attached garage parking maximizes the concept of homeownership while providing for sufficient open and landscaped areas for community spaces and on- site storm water retention. Given its context along a major transit and bike arterial and existing nonconforming setbacks along MacArthur Boulevard, the project provides adequate parking and increased yards. 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 proposed subdivision, including but not limited to the gas and electric, the water, waste disposal, cable TV, and police and fire services. The Engineering and Transportation Department, and Fire Department have found the access to the site to be safe for vehicular, pedestrian and emergency vehicle access.
