PlanningBoard | 2016-05-23 | 3 | Board Member Sullivan said she would like to see an updated look at the schools issue. She questioned the information about Wood School's enrollment. Board Member Zuppan asked why geology and soil impacts would not need to be studied due to the potential for much taller buildings. Staff Member Thomas explained how the 2008 report required proper geotechnical studies and mitigation for whatever size buildings are proposed. Board Member Zuppan explained that approving the study is not the same as approving the project. Staff Member Thomas said CEQA is basically a disclosure law and approving an EIR does not equate to approving the project. President Knox White confirmed that we would be using the updated thresholds of significance and transit corridor travel time. Staff Member Thomas said they would be looking at vehicle miles traveled and transit times. He said they would provide information on level of service at intersections. Board Member Zuppan confirmed the traffic impacts would include comparisons to a "do nothing" alternative. Staff Member Thomas summarized the feedback and said they would be adding sections on: population and housing, utilities, and public services. He also said they can look at the shade and view corridors in response to the public comment. 7-B 2016-2929 Planning Board Workshop: Provide Direction on Alameda Point Site A: (1) Blocks 6 and 7 Architectural Design, (2) Blocks 6 and 7 Parking Design, (3) West Atlantic Gateway Design and (4) Street Names for Side Streets.
