PLANNING COMrYISSION Page 5 4/13/83 Commissioner Wilson referred to the traffic and noise studies done -- are they taking into consideration the extension of Valley Avenue? Mr. Harris indicated that the traffic studies were done for east of Santa Rita Road. Mr. Warnick stated that the City does not intend to change the truck route. The public hearing was opened. David Martin, CPS & Associates, spoke on behalf of Valley Business Associates. He stated the applicant concurs with the staff report with the exception of Condition No. 19. The only change in the item would be is that they asked that the assessment district for Valley Avenue be spread on an equal basis with all of the other properties as opposed to the way the staff has structured the condition. He suggested that the Valley Avenue extension assessment be spread on an equitable basis once the district is formed. He indicated the staff has suggested that the assessment be spread within the district or $600,000 whichever is greater and he requested that instead of "whichever is greater" it be spread on an equitable basis within the district. Commissioner Wilson asked Mr. Martin if this included the improvements they have done on Valley Avenue. Mr. Martin indicated that the bond counsel has told them they would be able to generate an additional $600,000 of bond indebtedness and if they were able to develop a concept for that extension it wouldn't require further assessment but would still be considered fair and equitable. Mr. Martin indicated they have concerns over the truck issue because the existing restriction is vague and has concerns as they relate to their tenants and parking as well as future interpretation and restriction. They asked a consultant to develop a standard which would be more specific and therefore more enforceable on behalf of the City and would also accomplish what they need accomplished. N1r. Martin addressed the soundwall they are proposing to construct on Valley Avenue stating that the City standards for noise of 60db can be maintained. With regard to building heights, Mr. Martin indicated they do have one change in their request since the publication of the staff report and would recommend two alternatives be considered for the potential screening wall. They are asking for building heights of 17' based on two levels of mitigation; one being the regrading of the lots on the west side of their property; ,and two being screening proposed to be provided. Mr. Martin pre- sented renderings for the Commission to illustrate his request _ __ . __.... __ __.. _._T___ _._
