The Planned Development provides high quality urban design in comparison with development under the base district zoning regulations while preserving the character and quality of the surrounding neighborhood because the use and design of the Planned Development is similar to and consistent with the type and character of land uses found among the surrounding areas. The proposal meets the base CC Commercial Community zoning district standards for lot area, width, height, coverage, floor area ratio, density, daylight plane, and landscaping. With the exception needed for open space, the base zoning district will remain in place with a Planned Development Overlay District that allows for a high -quality development that would otherwise not meet all applicable zoning standards. Therefore, it can be found that the proposed location of the multi-family/townhome residential Planned Development is in accord with the objectives of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the CC Commercial Community zoning district. 2. That the proposed location of the use and the proposed conditions under which it would be operated or maintained, will be consistent with the General Plan; will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare of persons residing or working in or adjacent to the neighborhood of such use; and will not be detrimental to properties or improvements in the vicinity or to the general welfare of the City. The General Plan designation for the location of the multi-family/townhome residential Planned Development will be CG General Commercial. This land use designation allows a range of uses and permits residential uses. The development has been evaluated for impacts to traffic, air quality, and public health and, based on analysis identified in the staff report, the Initial Study — Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared in accord with CEQA, and all plans and reports submitted to the City with the project application, and it has been determined the project will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare of persons residing or working in or adjacent to the neighborhood of the Planned Development project, and will not be detrimental to properties or improvements in the vicinity or to the general welfare of the City because the residential project is consistent with similar residential land uses in the surrounding neighborhood. Any potential impacts have been mitigated to a less than significant level through the mitigation measures and conditions of approval. The project has been appropriately designed and will fully comply with all fire, safety, and building codes. With the application of grading and construction best practices, the effects of noise and dust emanating from the project site will be mitigated to a less than significant level. It has been determined to not generate an increased level of traffic over the current land use and sufficient off-street parking has been provided. Further, the project's site planning, use of exterior lighting, and landscaping materials will allow for security and easy surveillance of the development. The development will enhance the existing community atmosphere and provide an adequate level of safety and security for its residents. The project will contribute to improved air quality through green building construction methods and by providing three parking spaces with electric vehicle charging stations as well as garage charging stations for residents. Also, the infill site will be adequately served with public services, including utilities.
