c Mr. Owens noted that the situation has raised some concerns from th Val Vista shopping center owner and tenants in that they are afraid that the Lucky groce store might not be able to remain open if the land use for Site 14a took place. It was hi opinion that the Conditions of Approval would protect Val Vista shopping center. H said that Prudential is also concerned with being a good neighbor and would not wish to h the area. If their request for a land use change is granted, they would work with Val ista tenants to keep any possible impact low andlor to find a new anchor tenant should Lucky store leave. Commissioner Finch stated he has spoken with Chris Owens about a and use change for Site 14a and the Conditions of Approval. He expressed concern that the chor tenant in Val Vista would not be able to survive should a land use change allow an ther market to come in nearby. He would not like to observe an exchange from one anchor nant with another anchor tenant at a different location. However, with the Conditions f Approval as they are stated, he felt the conditions would protect the existing anchor tenant 'n Val Vista. Commissioner Mahern spoke with Mr. Owens about the length of th Development Agreement. Mr. Owens stated that the Development Agreement is sl ted to be up in the year 2020. He realized that seemed to be a long time; however, so of the agreements with the City in regard to the streets do not end until 2020. Commissioner Mahern noted that in speaking previously with Mr. 0 ens they had referred to the Wells Fargo agreement. She wished to remind him that she h d voted against that. ~ Chairman Hovingh asked if the City has taken possession of all the s eels in Hacienda Business Park, but that Hacienda must still maintain the streets to Cit standards. Mr. Swift noted the City has taken possession. Hacienda pays a fixed fee, but' is not until 2020 that they do so for street maintenance. Hacienda is responsible for land pe maintenance within those streets until 2020 and possibly beyond that. Commissioner McGuirk asked Mr. Owens what kinds of things Prod ntial would and could do to keep Val Vista from becoming a ghost town. Mr. Owens said rudential could actively go out and look for other uses to take over the Val Vista spa e should Lucky stores move out. He noted that Mark Sweeney is a broker and has been pr -active for a number of years in this business. COMMENTS IN OPPOSITION OF APPLICATION Paul Ebright, 5416 Blackbird Drive, spoke in opposition to the appli ation. He stated that ten years ago he had vigorously opposed development in Hacienda B siness Park. He felt that because of his and his neighbors' involvement and opposition, th t they had received some concessions. One of the concessions or conditions was on traf c mitigation measures. He did not think it was right at this point to tell the citizens that wha was approved ten years ago can now be changed. He also objected to page 9, number 4 of e Development Agreement in regard to water mitigation. He concluded by urging th Planning Commission to reject the application.
