It does not disrupt the flow of pedestrian or vehicular traffic, and it conforms with the Site Development Review approval for the property. The design and scale of this proposed fence is compatible with the existing building architecture and site furniture as well as the layout of the campus office complex. Eo Approval of the Amendment to the Sybase Development Review complies with the General Plan and the general requirements established in the Zoning Ordinance because it maintains a comprehensive, well-designed site design for the development. Fo Approval of the Amendment to the Sybase Site Development Review will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or be detrimental to the public health, safety, and general welfare because it promotes an architecturally compatible nature for the overall site plan and augments the existing improvements on the site. The proposed Amendment to the Sybase Site Development Review comprehensively considered site layout, vehicular access, circulation, parking, setbacks, height, walls, public safety, and similar elements to ensure that the fencing design contributes to the provision of a desirable environment. Ho Architectural considerations, including the character, scale and quality of the design, the architectural relationship with the site and other buildings, building materials and colors, screening of exterior appurtenances, exterior lighting, and similar elements have been incorporated into the Amendment where appropriate, in order to insure the compatibility of the proposed fence with the site design concept and the character of adjacent buildings and uses.
