50 percent Area Median Income (AMI) limits for a three - person household, which is approximately $40,000, to be provided at this level of affordability. She added that the Housing Commission also recommended a total of 16 affordable units that may be used towards the inclusionary unit credits to facilitate other developments trying to meet their affordable housing. She noted that assuming the developers are successful in security the partnership for the 16 units, the project would have a total of 42 affordable units: 35 units at 50- percent AMI and seven units at 100- percent AMI. Ms. Rondash continued that in that same memo, staff has also incorporated additional conditions regarding an access issue that came up with the adjacent ValleyCare Health System (VCHS) site. She added that VCHS representatives are still in communication with the applicant and the City and that staff would like the Commission's input on those are potential conditions. She noted that the memo also notes the addition of a few words that were left out at the end of Condition No. 12. Mr. Dolan stated that he would like to add to Ms. Rondash discussion regarding the two additional potential conditions in the staff memo. He indicated that with the construction of this project, the access to ValleyCare is different and they do not really have access off of West Las Positas Boulevard, which is the street on which it is addressed and their front entrance faces. He noted that a number of different solutions were discussed, and staff thought that the issue was resolved, but evidently it was not. He added that until very recently, since the staff report was published, all the parties kind of agreed that the solution would be to add another driveway; staff had some concerns about its distance from the corner, but ultimately worked through those concerns and was satisfied that an additional driveway will work. He indicated that what it really came down to was, if everyone agrees to having a driveway there, who is going to pay for the driveway, and this question was not resolved in advance of this meeting. He noted, however, that he is happy to report that right before the meeting, both parties had indicated to him that they had come to some kind of financial agreement and that he will have to ask them to expand on it. He indicated that he still believes that the condition, as written, will work because it does not really address the financial aspect but just talks about the responsibility of the developer to do it. He stated that his understanding of the agreement is that the developers have actually stepped forward and said they will do it, and a portion of the cost would be reimbursed by ValleyCare. He added that he is hoping to get some confirmation from both parties tonight that they have resolved this issue. Mr. Dolan stated that the second point, and the reason why ValleyCare really has any standing to request this, is there are mutual access easements across each of these properties. He indicated that there is some arrangement for parking which has been worked out previously, but both parties have rights to access through the other's property; however, when this project is built, the access changes for ValleyCare. He added that ValleyCare believes some of the project traffic will go out behind its building onto Stoneridge Drive, and there is an area there where ValleyCare has some sort of recycling and other functions and it will have to adjust that to make sure they are not interfering with St. Anton traffic going out that aisle. He indicated that ValleyCare is PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, May 8, 2013 Page 4 of 25
