The staff report and attachments can be found at: ttps://alameda.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=2985480&GUID=96E72570- CED3-4AFO-8674-9FF469E30703&FullText= Board Member Sullivan expressed concern about the lack of publicity of the EIR process. Board Member Curtis said the safety and schools impacts of all these projects are not included in these reports. Staff Member Thomas explained that our school district levies an impact fee on the project, so the EIR does not look at the impact on schools, per state law. He said they have not found a safety problem for EMS with the increased congestion. Board Member Zuppan explained that tonight we are not making any decision about how many units will be approved at the site, rather making sure the EIR for the proposed project adequately reflects the impacts. President Köster asked who is responsible for acquiring and building the Clement Street extension through the Pennzoil site. Staff Member Thomas said they have had preliminary conversations with Pennzoil, but the segment is not yet attached to any project and they do not have a funding strategy yet. President Köster asked about the changes in traffic numbers caused by the change from retail to retail/commercial designation.
