Mr. Swift said the City attaches a standard condition that the developer work out an agreement mutually satisfactory between the City and the School District prior to pulling building permits and that is one of the conditions on this project as well. The City does have the ability with its growth management program to determine when this or any other project is built, notwithstanding whether or not the prezoning or development plan is approved. The number of units that is approved can be visited in conjunction with the growth management program. Staff is recommending that this project, being it is smaller than 100 units, be a first come/first served project, where Council allocates the number of units available in 1999, etc. Council can control the number of units built on this project under that scenario. Council also has the ability to condition this project as to when it can start, take out building permits, etc., in conjunction with the construction of new schools. Council could do this during the development plan or during the growth management plan process. Ms. Dennis asked how different the figures for the traffic analysis would be from 1996 to 1998. Mr. Swift said the traffic study does include the 1998 figures and also includes this project on top of all the other approved projects. What it does not have is the update of the occupancies from 1996 to 1998, nor does it have the slight modifications that were made to the 1998 baseline model that has been referred to staff. In terms of the level of service, the intersections that this project would contribute significant traffic to is Foothill/I-580, Stoneridge/I-580, West Las Positas/I-580 and Bernal/I-580. All those intersections (assuming the West Las Positas interchange is built) will operate under these conditions whether the 1996 or 1998 model is being used. The Level of Service at these intersections will change with the addition of the 90 trips generated by this project. If the West Las Positas Interchange is removed, the number of trips at Stoneridge/I-680 will increase significantly and be at an unacceptable level of service. This project will not affect the overall levels of service analysis. The 1998 model had different results from the 1996 model primarily along the 1-580 corridor at Hopyard and Owens, Hacienda, Pimlico, and Santa Rita because of the traffic from Dublin. The Dublin traffic does not affect the 1-680 corridor. Mayor Tarver said he has heard that this project has insignificant effect on traffic. But if traffic has to be mitigated to LOS D, it matters. The level of service does not change for this project. Staff was~ directed to come up with solutions to eliminate level of service E. Ms. Ayala requested a ten minute recess to discuss conditions with staff. Ms. Michelotti understood Councilmember Ayala's request that there be enough school capacity in order for this project to move forward. She did not know how the guarantee would be made. Lydiksen is a long way away from the San Francisco property. Ms. Ayala said the San Francisco school site would serve the Laguna Oaks and will take students from other areas, therefore reducing the number of students at Lydiksen.
