IX. AIR OUALITY Drive-ThrOugh Businesses It was moved by Ms. Mohr, seconded by Ms. Michelotti, to adopt the Planning Cornml~ion recommendation to modify Program 4.4 on page IX-10, to read as follows: "Develop standards for the design and use of new drive-through businesses to minimize adverse impacts on air quality? The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers- Dennis, Michelotti, Mohr, Pico, and Mayor Tarvet NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None Buffer Zones Council discussed the definitions of transportation corridors and transit hubs. It was determined that this did not apply to the major circulation arterials. It was moved by Ms. Michelotti, seconded by Ms. Mohr, to adopt the Planning Commition recommendation to modify program 6.2 on page IX-11, to read as follows: "Include buffer zones within residential and sensitive receptor site plans to separate these uses from freeways, arterials, point sources, and hazardous materials locations." Mr. Tarvet preferred the Steering Committee language that required landscaping setbacks. Ms. Michelotti asked if the City always required landscape buffer zones or is there an alternative. Ms. Mohr wanted to know who would pay for the landscaping? Mr. Rasmussen indicated a developer would be required to pay for it. Ms. Mohr felt that if we are talking about the railroad corridors, she did not think the City could get payment from the railroads for landscaping. Mr. Swift clarified that the railroad corridors on the General Plan that are identified as transportation corridors are the former Southern Pacific Railroad tracks south to east and the one that runs from the tadurn wye north to Hacienda Business Park. The Union Pacific Railroad track, which is the actively used track, is not a transportation corridor on the General Plan; it is a railroad. 07/09/96 -27-
