but ail that it related to was changing the zoning on a certain portion of the property, which only includes the overflow parking area as part of this application. Mr. Brozosky believed the existing water slide area was seven acres of which three acres were water slides and four acres were picnic area. He asked if this happened before it was annexed into the City or did the City issue a conditional use permit for the property? Mr. Swirl said that this area was developed while it was still in the County. Ms. Ayala asked if any portion of the 11 acres was attributable to a potentiai BMX Park? Mr. Swift said that the proposed plan would add the new parking area. The existing hill would remain but ail of the water slides on it would be redone. The access walkway would be redone and a higher platform would be constructed. New water slides would come from that area, as well as expanding a certain area with the other pools, facilities and the concession stands. The entrance would be located at a different location and an emergency access way will follow the existing levy. He believed that three quarters of the former Oliver De Silva property would become overflow parking. The area next to it is an area where the City has had discussions with EBRPD about creating a BMX facility. Before Council zoned this area as Public and Institutionai, Ms. Ayala believed this area was zoned for commercial, and, therefore, the traffic count for this area would be commensurate with normal, commercial traffic. Mr. Swift said it was hard to tell what the use of that site would have been. There was never any actual application for it. It was zoned commercial and it could have been retail or office. Mr. Brozosky asked if the traffic model included that area for traffic counts? Mr. Swift said no. The existing plus approved traffic in the build out traffic models, which in the 1996 General Plan, would have traffic generated from that site as part of the Generai Plan build out. He continued with the overview by showing where the water slide facility expands, which includes the overflow parking and its relationship to existing houses on the south side of the Arroyo del Valle. He presented a map of the water slide facility as well as the parking area, which showed the new entrance from Stanley Boulevard, which allowed for a much greater capacity in moving vehicles into the facility. The key issue has been with peak day traffic where many cars arrive in one short period of time. The main issue has been to avoid traffic backing up at the traffic signai on Stanley Boulevard. He pointed out that there is aiso a condition of approval that obligates the applicant to expand both the right and left turn lanes on Stanley Boulevard should that become necessary in order to get traffic off of Stanley Boulevard Pleasanton City Council 6 03/16/04 Minutes
