Councilmember McGovern said the electric charging stations were only in Phase II and not in the retail phase. She asked if there could be some electric charging stations within the retail section. Mr. Dolan said he did not believe this was conducive to retail. If at an office all day long, it makes sense to charge it. Councilmember McGovern said some of the new Chevy Volts could be charged within 30 minutes and she suggested this be pursued. Councilmember McGovern referred to the discussion about a trail that would go behind Safeway and connect to the existing walkway along Bernal, which she confirmed they are willing to do. Regarding the round - about's, she confirmed that if at some point in time, there is concern from the neighborhood, they could be reviewed for removal. Mr. Fialho said the other item was to increase the pedestrian access from the apartment complex adjacent to the pharmacy, and he said the property owner is willing to construct that piece of the project along with this phase. Mr. Dolan said there is a concern that the fast charging station requires a very high voltage and they would not like to include it. Mr. Fialho said exploration of this at the staff level can be done with the applicant, which he confirmed could be identified as a condition. Councilmember McGovern said if housing is built on the property at some point, it reminds her of the Waterford property in Dublin, which has a major Safeway, multiple restaurants, and doctor's offices. It has apartments next door, townhomes next to it, and residential homes. If done and planned right, she thinks people will have an amazing place to live and play because of the park, and she would hold everyone to the responsibility of working to make this an outstanding project in moving forward with the next phase. Mayor Hosterman supported the project, understands the lighting, signage and trail issues still need to be fully worked out. The fact that this Pleasanton Gateway project will result in a positive net impact to the City's General Fund is significant, given the economy. She trusts staff's opinion given the analysis regarding leakage and other issues which will result in a positive project. The brand new Lifestyle Safeway Store is so important because Safeway is headquartered in Pleasanton, and this will be an opportunity for corporate partners to visit here and experiment with buyers and determine what people want and need, which she supports. Mayor Hosterman knows that to every degree, the developer will build the greenest building possible. Part of the reason she likes the fact that they will be PV ready versus PV on the roof is that discussion will occur about a green roof possibility and vertical farming, which will start this week. She also thinks there might be an opportunity with additional mixed uses with the remaining acreage while identifying the needs of the community. She said she loves the way the project looks and has integrated public spaces for people to gather, and she supported the project.
