Commissioner Jamieson asked if this project were approved for xxx amount of lots, wouldn't we have to guarantee sewer capacity for them. Mr. Harris stated he wasn't a lawyer and couldn't comment on that, but that the Planning Commission merely recommends approval of the project and when it is considered by the City Council, they will be counselled by the City Attorney regarding City commitments. Commissioner Geppert addressed assessment districts for this property. Mr. Caroline stated that at the current time they are attempting to get an assessment district for 200 acres of Best property, Utility Vault and Molinaro property through Mr. Brunsell, the City bond attorney, at no cost to the City. He stated the obligation would be backed by the property itself. Commissioner Geppert asked if the City has looked at the cost benefits of this project to the City vs. how much it will cost the City. Mr. Harris responded that no study has been done. He stated that Pro- position 13 and 4 have made industrial less fiscally attractive as industrial growth is no longer recognized as growth. Commissioner Jamieson then addressed exporting materials from the site via E1 Charro. Mr. Caroline stated there will be no export except for the man-dumped material which is being put in a Class 3 dump site nearby. Mr. Caroline stated that Val Vista, Del Prado, Valley Trails development were built on very poor soil and that the 69 acres of business park has much better soil than any of those areas. Commissioner Jamieson stated that concerning the moving activity, there should be some hour restrictions namely 7:30-5:30 P.M. Monday through Friday. Commissioner Geppert then asked Mr. Caroline if he had any problems with the requests of Mr. Jotten. Mr. Caroline said he had no problems with Mr. Jotten's requests. A motion was made by Commissioner Geppert, seconded by Commissioner Getty that: the EIR has been completed in compliance with CEQA and State Guidelines; that the Commission has reviewed and considered the information in the EIR; that the project would have significant adverse impacts on the environment pertaining to unstable soils, runoff pollution, noise, air pollution and street maintenance but that recommended conditions of approval of case PUD-79-13 would reduce those impacts to an insignificant level; and that there are two significant adverse impacts of case PUD-79-13 which are not mitigatable (traffic increase on Valley Avenue and other access routes and impacts on Valley Avenue/Santa Rita Road intersection) but that there are overriding social and economic considerations (more local jobs) which make infeasible all mitigation measures identified in the EIR.
