Mr. Lum said the West Las Positas Study Committee is making good progress. It was <br /> hoped to bring a preliminary recommendation to Council in January so the environmental work <br /> would be done in the early part of 1998, with the completion of the study in April. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala asked if the request for a new study to be done on the cut-through traffic <br /> analysis would delay the study's completion. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lum said the Committee will use the information from all the studies done. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala asked for clarification on changing the wording to take out the moratorium. <br /> <br /> Mr. Roush said the way the amendment is written is that it allows the City to suspend <br /> the additional 202,000 square feet as a result of the completion of the West Las Positas study <br /> if the Council imposes a moratorium on new development that is not otherwise vested. What <br /> is being suggested is that the additional square footage could be suspended if instead of a <br /> moratorium the Council changed the land use designation of properties that were not vested but <br /> that would contribute traffic to the Stoneridge area. It would still require an affirmative action <br /> by the Council to do something and it assumes the properties did not have a building permit or <br /> were not subject to a development agreement. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver still wanted to know who was going to pay for the improvements. If <br />-- Wells Fargo cannot build it, it should lose its entitlement. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti asked if he were in favor of going ahead with Taubman's proposal if the <br /> language suggested by staff was included in the development agreement. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver said Taubman would have to agree that if traffic could not be mitigated, <br /> the entiflements would be lost. The proposal right now does not say that. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift said it could be drafted to provide that if the level of service drops below C <br /> or D at certain intersections, then the additional square footage would be lost. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver said North Pleasanton properties and Prudential would not be asked to <br /> participate anymore. That sticks the City with a problem and no one to pay for it. <br /> <br /> Ms. Acosta said paying for it may not be as big a problem as solving it. Council would <br /> have to decide that if the problem cannot be solved, whether to allow the Mall's development <br /> to move forward or not. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pico said the amendment gives the applicant an approval that is revocable and <br /> obligates it to spend the money for the improvements. <br /> <br /> Pleasanton City Council 10/21/97 <br /> Minutes 24 <br /> <br /> <br />
