Councilmember Sullivan said that while not a condition of approval, he asked to go back to the developers, review those guidelines and implement what could possibly be implemented where feasible. Mr. Bocian agreed that staff could discuss this with both developers. Councilmember Sullivan questioned if the City was conditioning adequate facilities that will have tree bins or dumpsters that will support recycling program. Mr. Bocian stated yes, and noted that CLC actually picks up its own trash from all of the buildings and they will not sort per se, but they will be gathering it all so PGS trucks will not run through the entire development, and staff can discuss how sorting will occur. He said currently, apartments are not source separated on site, but effective October 1, 2010, they hope to do source separation of all commercial waste through the transfer station. Councilmember Sullivan referred to greenhouse gas and the Climate Action Plan and said the City's plan will not be completed prior to the development's approval. He questioned some of the text and changes, but confirmed that once the plan is approved, staff could approach developers about programs and projects and incorporate them voluntarily. Mr. Fialho added that the developers would be approached similar to how the Bay - Friendly Guidelines are handled; they will determine whether feasible or not. Councilmember Sullivan referred to page 18 of the Hendrick conditions of approval, which relate to an estimate of energy savings from "the installation of solar roofs or other alternative energy measures shall be prepared with a goal of 12.5% minimum reduction of annual energy use." He questioned if it was annual energy use from Title 24, or some other baseline was used. Mr. Dolan responded that this requirement relates to a new program in the new General Plan. It has not yet been applied to any building as of yet but would be implemented and compared to Title 24. Mayor Hosterman opened the public hearing. Ralph Kanz, Conservation Director for the Alameda Creek Alliance, asked the Council to move the item forward. Ronald Tye, Regional Financial Officer, Hendrick Automotive, asked the City Council to consider the situation if they had an all- electric motorcycle that they received the franchise for and suggested this might be considered in the future. Councilmember McGovern said her intent is to ensure residents would not be hearing motorcycle noise from the dealership. Mayor Hosterman noted the number of people in the audience who are present to support the CLC project. Councilmember Sullivan questioned if staff had indicated that the schedule for extension of Jack London was in January. Mr. Bocian noted this was for beginning of construction of El Charro Road, from the freeway to Stoneridge Drive, in January. Mr. Fialho stated notwithstanding this, Livermore has been consistent in their comments about Jack London being constructed within the next 12 months. This is largely dependent upon development that will occur on the prime retail center. Their indication to the City is that the development is proceeding, but he confirmed it was still dependent upon the development as far as staff is aware.
