As part of the approval procedure for Hacienda's PUD (Planned Unit Development) #81-30 the city council included 110 "Conditions of Approval" that must be met by the developers of the park. The 110 Conditions cover a wide range of topics and while the most often discussed are traffic conditions and restrictions, among these Conditions are some that show the extensive detail in planning for Hacienda Business Park.

No. 19 - That if any fill is required for the subject site, it shall be transported to the properties via freeways rather than city streets.

No. 22 - That all loading and service areas shall be screened from streets and adjacent properties.

No. 23 - That no materials, supplies or equipment including company owned or operated trucks and motor vehicles shall be stored in any area on a site except inside or behind a solid visual barrier which screens such areas from surrounding properties and public streets, and each barrier shall be at least 6 ft. in height.

No. 33 - That the street number of all buildings be posted so as to be easily seen from the street at all times, day and night.

No. 34 - That all ducts, meters, air conditioning equipment, and any other mechanical equipment, whether on the structure, on the ground or elsewhere, be effectively screened from view with materials architecturally compatible with the main structure.

No. 35 - That all mechanical equipment be constructed in such a manner that noise emanating from it will not be perceptible at or beyond the property plane of the subject property in a normal environment for that zoning district.

No. 41 - That all utilities required to serve the development be installed underground.

No. 48 - That the following water conserving plumbing fixtures be installed; a) low flush water closets; b) shower flow control heads; c) aerators in interior faucets; and d) insulation of hot water lines.

No. 56 - That the developer shall provide abundant bike storage facilities throughout the subject property.

No. 58 - That all commercial and office structures on the subject property shall be designed so that interior noise levels shall not be higher than 55 dBA during business hours and that the hotel shall be designed so that the interior noise level will not be higher than 45 dBA.

No. 107 - That the city, at developer expense, shall hire a qualified atmospheric scientist or air pollution expert to evaluate project generated air quality impacts, establish air quality standards to minimize air quality impacts from the project and ensure that State and Federal standards for primary pollutants are met at the site and along access routes, and develop a monitoring program which can be used to evaluate air quality impacts as the project develops. In the event such standards would be exceeded by any incremental development proposal, that particular project shall not be approved.

No. 109 - That no parking will be allowed on any streets within the development.

A complete list of all the 110 conditions for the park can be obtained through the Planning Department at City Hall or through the Hacienda Owners Association.
