- 2 - January 20, 2000 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 designates this as a no change area. Development housing on this site is consistent with existing housing on adjacent sites and in the general area. This development will be consistent with the General Plan goal of encouraging the development of housing in locations with good access to local employment areas and local transportation (Goal 10 policy 1 Page V — 59). This property is close to employment opportunities in and around downtown. It is also very convenient to public transportation. 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 use will comply with the density, setback, open space and parking requirements for the RM- 3000 District. Specific conditions are recommended for the planned development and improvements required under the Tract Map. The development will have to comply with those requirements before occupancy is granted. 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 surrounding streets have adequate capacity to accommodate the traffic generated by this development. With its close proximity to public transportation and the downtown area, traffic generation may be less than developments in San Leandro that are not conveniently located close to public transportation. There are adequate public facilities in the area to serve this development. Findings under Section 3-1018 (a) The Planned Development Project Plan will provide superior urban design in comparison with the development under the base district zoning regulations. Much of the apartment development in this area was constructed with little or no design review. Even though the projects may be functional, they lack design amenities. This is a well designed project with efforts made to enhance the appearance of the units. This proposal will blend in well with the surrounding neighborhood and add an attractive appearance to this portion of San Leandro Boulevard. (b) 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 existing and planned systems. A project consisting of only 5 units will have very little impact on existing utility service in the area. All on -site utility service will be underground. This site will be adequately served by Police and Fire Services. G:\DS\NORM\PD-99-8\findingspd-99-8.doc k• �
