ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT <br /> This Major Modification is simply consideration for removing the condition of approval <br /> prohibiting a drive-through restaurant use on "Pad B." Any subsequent drive-through <br /> restaurant project would be subject to separate discretionary review by the City, through <br /> consideration of a CUP. Since no development would be considered with this Major <br /> Modification, no environmental document accompanies this report. <br /> SUMMARY/CONCLUSION <br /> Staff believes the Major Modification to remove the condition of approval prohibiting a <br /> drive-through restaurant on "Pad B" would be less consistent with the goals, policies, <br /> and programs of the General Plan and the goals and strategies of the CAP than the <br /> current condition that prohibits a drive-through. The drive-through's higher vehicular trip <br /> rate, potential to increase idling and emissions, and comparatively higher air quality <br /> emissions would be less supportive of stated goals of the General Plan and CAP, as <br /> well as contrary to City goals to promote a pedestrian-oriented environment to <br /> encourage walking and bicycling. On this basis, staff recommends the City Council deny <br /> the Major Modification pursuant to the resolution and findings in Attachment 1. <br /> However, recognizing the Planning Commission's recommendation and rationale to <br /> support approval, should the City Council elect to follow that recommendation, staff has <br /> included a resolution, findings and recommended conditions of approval in Attachment <br /> 2. <br /> u mitt'-a +y: Fiscal Review: Approved b . <br /> ,,,.__ i..., I ,l( if-e-,-24/0-- \.Lc:/.._ /) <br /> Ellen Clark Tina Olson Q"- Nelson Fialho <br /> Director of Community Director of Finance City Manager <br /> Attachments: <br /> 1 .
