higher quality housing and on -site improvements include landscaping requirements and variety in building colors, materials, and articulation. 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. Following an evaluation of traffic, as noted in the staff report and the Initial Study — Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared in accord with CEQA, the project will not generate an increased level of traffic over the current commercial bowling center land use. Manor Boulevard has adequate capacity to safely and reasonably accommodate the traffic generated by the development. In addition, there are AC Transit bus stops (Route 34) located near the intersection of Farnsworth Street and Manor Boulevard, with a route that extends from Foothill Square in Oakland to Hayward BART, including a stop at San Leandro BART. There are adequate public facilities in the area to serve this residential development. There is adequate public service to the proposed subdivision, including but not limited to gas and electric, the water district, the sanitary district, solid waste disposal and recyclable materials collection services, cable television, schools, and police and fire protection. The project will contribute both physical improvements and development impact fees to the community. 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 front yard and rear yard setbacks, attached garage parking, and private balconies/decks that maximize the concept of homeownership. The height of the townhouse condominiums and the coverage of the units do not exceed the maximum allowable in the Commercial Community zoning district. In addition, the design of the project contains architectural patterns and elements that contribute to the character of the Planned Development, including the use of colors, exterior materials, and landscaping for the areas contiguous to the street and through the project site. The overall design and features included within Planned Development enhances the development's long-term livability and value retention in this new residential development. In exchange for a reduced open space, the project provides higher quality urban design and increases the City's supply of available housing. 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 gas and electric, 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. The project will contribute both physical improvements and development impact fees to the community.
