Commissioner Balch: I just wanted to mention that this is on my Minor PUD Mod, we added this in as a Minor PUD use. So this is now something that would be one of these examples.... the Minor PUD is in the past by quite a lot of time but now this Minor CUP process is in, so this will be a double administrative approval separated by years in this case. Okay, thank you Shweta. I think I just have one more question... Well, I think you guys handled it, but it was the 60,000 feet for the retail. I looked at the chart in the staff report, it begs itself for 58,000 feet just by the nature of the ones listed, so I just didn't know if you guys wanted to clarify or add any further color to that, as to why 60,000 is the magic number? Bonn: There's definitely no magic to it. We're certainly open to suggestions. 60,000 seemed to be on the higher end, you know, where Raley's is. These are not perfect, precise numbers. Also, you'll notice that they're fairly round so it seemed to be on the higher end of the threshold just to accommodate as many uses below that, but also recognizing that that seems to be the upper limit for the types of neighborhood style uses that you would see without having to trigger an additional review process. But again, we're certainly open to other thoughts on the 60,000 number. Commissioner Balch: My only comment to this was just that the traffic at the Amador Safeway and the Pleasanton Gateway Safeway is fun and so I wanted to qualify, and obviously you look at this and I don't know necessarily that 2,000 square feet makes a major traffic impact, but it sure seems like it's awfully darn close. Commissioner Allen: The concern I have with 60,000 square feet is specific to the C -C District, and I know it's unlikely but at our last meeting we talked about potentially having three types of sizing. Theoretically, let's say that the Vic's Shopping Center area —I don't know how many square feet —or some of the new redevelopment we're doing downtown frees up a lot of space and Safeway wants to come in. The thing I'm concerned about is if we actually have City code that says someone could come in up to 60,000 feet without a CUP, just straight permitted in C -C, I'm concerned about that because we have such limited downtown space and I think we want to be very strategic about keeping it pedestrian - scaled and small - scaled, and we know we have a huge traffic challenge downtown. Adding a Safeway or Raley's somewhere downtown if something freed up could be a nightmare. So I'm concerned with having that allowed in the C -C District. Commissioner O'Connor: It's downtown but it's separate though, right? Commissioner Allen: C -C is downtown. Can you show me on the table? Maybe I'm misreading this. Commissioner Balch: Page 30. Commissioner Brown: I think they mention this in Table 2 of Exhibit B, Item no. 8 as well. Commissioner Allen: Okay, because I'm looking at page 30 and on page 30 for up to 60,000 feet for C -C it says it's permitted, which would say if Safeway came to us, it would say it's permitted.
