The proposed Planned Development Zoning District meets the intent and purpose of Chapter 8.32 of the Zoning Ordinance because it provides a Stage 2 Development Plan for Phase II of the Tassajara Creek - Greenbriar Homes Communities, Inc. residential project that will create a desirable use of land and an environment that will be harmonious and compatible with existing and potential development in surrounding areas because the site plan has been designed to be compatible with the proposed and approved plans in the vicinity, including the Tassajara Creek open space area and regional trail and future residential homes approved to the east and south of the project. Adequate setbacks and complementary architectural designs and landscaping proposed in the Stage I and Stage 2 Development Plan for Phase II, have been specially designed to provide an attractive living environment. 2. The project site is physically suitable for type and intensity of this residential project in that it is flat, has adequate access and is of a sufficient size to provide housing as well as open space for the future residents of the project. 3. The proposed Planned Development Rezone, the Stage 2 Development Plan for Tassajara Creek Phase II, will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare because the Stage 2 Development Plan for Tassajara Creek Phase II, have been designed in accordance with the City of Dublin General Plan, Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and Program EIR and Addenda and the adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration for PA 98-062. Additionally, project specific analysis has determined that the project's design is sensitive to biological features on site and to proposed surrounding land uses. 4. The proposed Stage 2 Development Plan for Tassajara Creek Phase II, is consistent with all elements and policies of the Dublin General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan because the project is within, and consistent with, the density range of the Medium Density Residential designation of both the City of Dublin General Plan Land Use Element and Eastern Dublin Specific Plan (as amended), and because it conforms to the elements and policies of those plans through the provision of archaeological and historic protection, erosion and siltation comrol policies, open space and wildlife habitat protection required by the Land Use, Parks and Open Space and Conservation Elements and the Eastern Dublin Comprehensive Steam Restoration Program, roadways consistent with the Circulation Element, adequate public facilities as required by the Schools, Public Lands and Utilities Element, housing as desired by the Housing Element, and safe design as required by the Seismic Safety and Safety Element. the Planning Commission makes the following findings: 1.
