362 <br /> <br /> the uses to the General Plan build-out which includes all the <br /> street network in the General Plan and the build-out of the <br /> business parks and residential areas. This study indicates that <br /> all the intersections meet level service D, with the Hopyard Road/ <br /> Owens Drive intersection changing from .89 to 9.0. It is staff's <br /> opinion, however, that the proposed reduction in the FAR and the <br /> change of uses will result in less traffic than that. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brandes inquired if any assumptions were made about the <br /> potential of having a BART station at Hacienda Business Park in <br /> relation to traffic at the Hopyard Road/Owens Drive intersection. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift replied that no assumptions were made for the short <br /> term traffic study but that the General Plan build-out model <br /> includes the two BART stations that are in the General Plan. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr declared the public hearing open on the applications. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tom Gillette, PacTel Properties, 5000 Hopyard Road, stated <br /> that the overall PUD is a revision of the old Meyer Center Plan <br /> Development with a reduction in the square footage and the FAR from <br /> 35% to 32.8% and that the Design Review Board and Planning <br /> Commission have approved the three individual designs on Lots B, E <br /> and F. He explained that Items 6g and 6h (Lots E and F) conformto <br /> the existing PUD and that Item 6i (Lot B) generally conforms to the <br /> PUD-allowed retail uses on the site. Some changes were made on <br /> Lots D and G, an addition made on Lot C to include retail pads for <br /> future use, and a reduction of the hotel site on Lot A to include <br /> two retail pads also for future use. He request Council to approve <br /> the applications. <br /> <br /> Mr. Butler inquired if any decision on Item 6f would not <br /> present any conflict with Items 6g, 6h and 6i since these three <br /> were compatible with the existing plan and revised PUD. <br /> <br /> Mr. Gillette replied that it was his understanding that there <br /> would be no conflict. <br /> <br /> Mr. Richard Gehrke, 6042 Allbrook Circle, owner of the <br /> property facing Lot C, expressed his appreciation for PacTel's <br /> efforts at working with the neighbors. He inquired what "Negative <br /> Declaration" meant. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr explained that "Negative Declaration" meant that the <br /> environmental concerns in the area had been addressed and that the <br /> project did not have any unmitigated negative environmental impacts <br /> on the community; therefore, a full environmental impact report was <br /> not necessary. <br /> <br /> 7-17-90 <br /> <br /> - 14 - <br /> <br /> <br />
