Ms. Mohr asked Mr. Madden to describe the landscaping that would be placed around the mini-warehouse. She was concerned with landscaping for this building because these types of buildings are less attractive than those used for retail etc. Mr. Madden referred this question to the architect, Mr. Goldsworthy. Michael Goldsworthy, 633 Abbie Street, Architect, referred to the plan posted on the bulletin board and explained that the only difference between the design of the warehouse and the retail buildings was that the retail buildings had windows. The roll up doors were located in the back of the building. There would be approximately 30 feet from curb to building and an elevation change of approximately 11 feet. He also pointed out where trees would be added as a condition of approval by the Design Review Board. There being no further testimony, Mr. Mercer declared the public hearing closed. Mayor Mercer asked if the Kaufman & Broad project would have the utility underground up to this site. Mr. Swift answered yes. Mr. Tarver asked if this was going into the former Southern Pacific right-of-way that Council changed several months ago. Mr. Swift explained that this was in the area of the former Southern Pacific Corridor that is not currently owned by Alameda County. He also stated that Council did change the General Plan to change the language for what is allowed in the transportation corridor to delete light rail. It was moved by Ms. Mohr, and seconded by Mr. Butler, that Resolution No. 92-182 be adopted, based on a review of an initial environmental study done for this project and on a finding that no significant environmental impact would occur as outlined in the City's guidelines and on a further finding that a negative declaration is appropriate in connection with PUD-92-06. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers Butler, Mohr, Scribner, Tarver and Mayor Mercer NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None 9/15/92 6
