PLANNING CGM["IISSION 5/25/83 Page 5 Mr. Ellis also presented a bound volume with current renderings of the project as well as of other hotels which are being built in other parts of the country. The Commission had no questions of Mr. Ellis. Mr. Leo Heckathorn, 4202 Stanley Boulevard, spoke in favor of the project. There being no .further testimony, the public hearing was closed. Commissioner Doherty indicated he had been concerned about the traffic, but with the additional information presented, he was more comfortable with the situation. Commissioner Lindsey also indicated he had no problem with traffic alleviation, but felt that he would like something in the area with more convention facilities and rooms for community use and he was not satisfied with the plan. Chairman Jamieson asked about the Transportation System Manage- ment (TSM) program. Mr. Harris said the city is suggesting that Council look into establishing an ordinance which would require all uses in the area to come up with a plan, even those already approved. The Farmers project had a condition imposed on them requiring a TSM plan. Commissioner Wilson asked if the hotel or an office complex would create more traffic. Mr. Harris indicated an office complex of the same size would create considerably more traffic and felt this was an good use for the site. Chairman Jamieson indicated that at the last meeting Commissioner Wilson had brought up the plan of having the adjoining First Nationwide site paved for parking until they were prepared to build their facility. The public hearing was reopened to allow testimony on this. Mr. Ellis asked Mr. Anderson of First Nationwide to address this question. Jack Anderson, First Nationwide Savings, Daly City, indicated they are now developing plans and studies to coincide with the completion of the hotel and believed they would be ready for occupancy shortly thereafter. The Commissioners discussed the possibility of imposing a condition that the savings and loan building be constructed at the same time as the hotel. There was also a question as to the sewer capacity.
