CityCouncil | 2008-10-07 | 15 | Councilmember Matarrese seconded the motion, with direction for staff to provide Council with real time data for Kohl's, the gas station, and OSH occupancy. Under discussion, Vice Mayor Tam inquired whether Councilmember Matarrese is asking for monitoring requirements, to which Councilmember Matarrese responded in the affirmative. The Supervising Planner stated the gas station had its own mitigated declaration with certain monitoring requirements; impacts would not occur until cumulative conditions occur in 2020. Councilmember Matarrese stated that he wants data collected once the aforementioned occupancy occurs to test the projections before the next step is taken. The Supervising Planner stated current plans for Kohl's and OSH do not increase the square footage of the shopping center a substantial change in the square footage would occur if the Planning Board approves a second story expansion at Kohl's. Councilmember Matarrese stated the issue would increase number of cars and delivery trucks. The Planning and Building Director stated Council could add the monitoring as an additional mitigation measure when Kohl's, the gas station, and OSH are occupied. Councilmember deHaan stated that he would like to have monitoring performed now and when Kohl's and OSH open for comparison purposes. The Supervising Planner stated State law requires that the baseline used is based on the date that the City released a notice of preparation for the EIR. Patricia Curtin, Harsch Development, stated the EIR certification is an action stating that the EIR is adequate for the impacts of 706,000 square feet. Mayor Johnson stated requesting a traffic baseline is separate from the EIR. Ms. Curtin inquired what is the point for monitoring; stated either the EIR is adequate for 706,000 square feet or not. Councilmember Matarrese seconded the motion. Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 15 October 7, 2008 | CityCouncil/2008-10-07.pdf |
