CityCouncil | 2005-05-03 | 15 | felt that he should not be responsible for making all the improvements to the intersection; traffic modeling shows that there are other background projects not yet developed, but approved, which would also impact the intersection; the negotiation used the actual number of trips coming off the project and the impact on the intersection. Councilmember/Commission deHaan stated that there might be further requirements for further entitlements; inquired what the affect would be on the traffic remediation. The Development Services Director responded that the entitlements received for the project anticipate 112,000 square feet of new retail square footage at the South Shore Shopping Center and would likely increase; circulation issues related to the gas station would need to be examined independently additional improvements can always be made; a need for further improvements is anticipated by 2020. Councilmember/Commissioner deHaan stated that he was concerned that the same [ redevelopment funds are being used for many issues. inquired whether there is a detailed breakdown of where redevelopment funding stands. The Development Services Director responded that there are sufficient funds; anticipated improvements can be made with existing tax increments and not bonds. The Acting City Manager stated that at the next meeting staff would provide a Community Improvement Commission multi-year budget to show how much money remains. Councilmember/Commissioner Matarrese stated the project is very important the rationale and logic fits into the true meaning of redevelopment that he defends the approach of taking redevelopment funds for the Library project; his motion to adopt the resolutions stands. Councilmember/Commissioner Daysog stated the investment is necessary if the money means that the City would have stores such as Borders or Chicos. Mayor/Chair Johnson stated that the City needs to be frugal with redevelopment money but also needs to use the money wisely; moving forward with projects that help continue the redevelopment and revitalization of Alameda business areas is an appropriate use of funds. .
