The Planning and Building Director stated the Municipal Code has certain noticing requirements; the Alameda Towne Centre project requires notification to property owners and residents within 100 feet and advertising in the paper ten days before the hearing; Council adopted a policy several years ago which expanded the notification policy to a twenty day notice for hearings before the Planning Board and Historical Advisory Board and a 300 foot radius around the property; the notification process was expanded to 500 feet for Alameda Towne Centre. Councilmember deHaan stated the traffic engineers discussed various corridors that were areas of concern.
