CityCouncil | 2007-01-02 | 19 | entertained this evening. Councilmember Matarrese stated traffic is the biggest issue; the retail mix had a good, methodical means of review; good measures and standards are set on the retail side; inquired whether there is a way to evaluate traffic management and transportation demands after progress is made on the project build-out further inquired whether an unmet need could be met due to the over performance of the project. The Base Reuse and Community Development Manager responded the project requirements already state that Catellus has to submit a detailed TDM Program plan for the overall project when the first phase development plan is presented; the plan must be in place at either the 150th residential unit or the first 100,000 square feet of office development; Catellus could come back with a set of criteria for evaluating the success of the TDM; the criteria would be worked out with the Transportation Commission and Planning Board; the formulated criteria would be used five years down the road to determine whether the project is performing well or is performing below the Performa and whether the TDM Program budget should be bumped up in the event that the TDM Program is under performing due to lack of funds. Vice Mayor Tam inquired how the $425,000 cap was determined and whether there was a way to look at restructuring opportunities to tie key performance measures to specific expenditures and remove the language so that it does not sound like a cap. The Base Reuse and Community Development Manager stated the $425,000 commitment was a negotiated amount between the City and the developer; Exhibit D of the DA is the Master Plan Conditions of Approval Condition #11 is a thorough outline of the TDM Program components and more specifically the first phase of the TDM program; the developer and staff knew what the TDM Program would look like in general and what the first phase TDM program would look like more specifically; the developer had a TDM program consultant; the $425,000 is a general figure because the precise components of the TDM Program would come back to the Transportation Commission and Planning Board as part of the first development plan; the DA vests the developer's planning rights over the long term; there is a desire to have an understanding of what the developer's annual commitment would be to the TDM program, whether capped or whether there are provisions based on criteria to modify the cap; the TDM Program affects only one of the ordinances this evening the other three ordinances could be adopted tonight and become effective in thirty days; staff would come back in two weeks with revised language to amend the ordinance dealing with the DA.
