12. Conformance with requirements for emergency vehicular access to the Project has been approved by cognizant reviewing City agencies. No evidence was adduced which would contravene the conclusions that access to the Project for emergency vehicles is appropriate and adequate. 13. The Project, as proposed, would provide for the installation of a gate across the private access roadway. Although special access through said gate would be provided for emergency vehicles, the existence of the gate could serve to cause an undetermined amount of traffic congestion and/or tend to increase pedestrian hazards by creating some congestion along Davit Lane and/or the private access road at peak traffic hours of the day. 14. Development of the park site will encourage usage thereof by residents ofthe Project as well as residents of Property in the vicinity thereof, with particular usage by children. 15. Persons using the park site, particularly children, could be exposed to some danger from traffic on Davit Lane; however, such exposure would be no greater than that associated with parks similarly situated. 16. The traffic associated with the Project, based upon review by the City's Traffic Engineer, will not have a measurable effect upon the level of service for vehicular traffic at the nearest intersection, Davit Lane with Shell Parkway. At anticipated peak traffic hours, the level of service, after development of the Project, will decrease minimally and will be within acceptable levels. Moreover, as designed, Davit Lane can support almost twice the amount of traffic capacity which is anticipated to be used by the Project, together with existing development in the area. 17. Although the density of the Project is greater than that which exists on some surrounding developments, the density is consistent with the General Plan and zoning designations for the Property. The effects of the density will not be inconsistent with developments in the vicinity ofthe Project and the Project, including said density, constitutes a reasonable use of the Property. 18. The proposed uses under the planned development permit, in addition to those otherwise permitted in the applicable zoning district, are an integral part of the Project, are complimentary thereto, and are intended primarily for the convenience of, and service to, the residents or occupants of the Project. CONCLUSIONS AND ORDER A The appeals should be, and hereby are, denied. MINUTE BOOK NO. 52 Regular Meeting Minutes Page No. 339 August 1, 1994 Page 5 _. ,-., .
