CityCouncil | 2007-08-07 | 10 | at the corner of Otis Drive and Park Street in 2003 when the proposed shopping center expansion went through the Planning Board; stated the shopping center contributed whatever their portion was at that time. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether said requirement was in writing; stated the requirement would be triggered when the threshold is met because of the gas station or the shopping center regardless of the additional square footage. The Supervising Planner responded the traffic study looked at all three scenarios; stated the left turn movement out of the shopping center onto Otis Drive during rush hour would fail the threshold using the City's threshold of significance under cumulative conditions in 2025 the gas station would be contributing to a significant impact at the intersection. Councilmember Matarrese inquired whether the project [Safeway Gas Station] would require a signal without consideration of future expansion. The Supervising Planner responded the threshold would be triggered within the next twenty years when the project is considered with other projects have been approved but not built, including the 112,000 square foot shopping center expansion approved by the Planning Board a couple of years ago, other projects such as the Chinese Christian School, and population growth of a half a percent per year stated the threshold would not be met with the project [Safeway Gas Station] alone. Councilmember Matarrese stated that new information has not been provided since the last Call for Review; a bio-diesel blend would be available; different fueling options will need to be considered in the next twenty years; the developer has done a great job in bringing quality stores to Alameda Towne Center the proposed site is preferable to the previous gas station location. Councilmember Matarrese moved adoption of the resolution denying the Appeal and Upholding the Planning Board's Approval of Planned Development Amendment PDA05-0001, Major Design Review DR05-0010, and Use Permits UP06-0003 and UP06-0014.
