COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT & ADMINISTRATION City Planner Morton stated that this item had been continued, by request of the applicant, from the 5/13/87 Council meeting in order to seek additional time to respond to various Council concerns, i.e., store's anticipated market area; projected number of shoppers the store would draw; applicant's statement regarding 16,000 square feet of store area it would not occupy. She stated that the Planning Commission did not consider the 16,000 square feet of leasable area not being utilized by Pak'N'Save. She stated that since the applicants had stated that it is Brentway's intent to lease approximately 16,000 square feet of space for office and other retail uses the matter should be remanded to the Planning Commission for consideration of the modified request. 5/27/87 Page 8 A G E N D A A C T I 0 N T A K E N O~)Ol,~ --COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT & ADMINISTRATION 9. Staff Report - Continued. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT & ADMINISTRATION Councilwoman Teglia questioned the following in depth: problems with traf- fic congestion; what the weekly customer count would be, and how the figures were arrived; the market area; whether this was a regional use. She stated that all of Council's questions should be answered on the record for the benefit of the Planning Commission's con- sideration of the modified request. Councilman Haffey spoke of the stores that had closed down in South San Francisco, and felt that this particular development would be a magnet for Daly City and San Bruno residents. Bill Falik, Esq., stated that he had talked to the City Attorney who had related that in light of what she had discovered in the zoning code, new evi- dence would have to be sent back to the Planning Commission and would not be heard by the Council. He stated that because of that he had not developed new statistics to present to the Council. He stated that his Client's concern was that he had been through the Design Review process, and further delays would cost additional monies for the lease of the building before development. He stated that in relation to the question raised over a marketing survey, one existed for Colma and Sunnyvale, however, this was not done until the store was in operation. He stated that in addition the regional draw had not been studied, because it was unnecessary due to the fact that the Colma store was a success. Discussion following: on the projected mileage people travel to their super- market; weekly traffic generated by the supermarket; that the majority of Council felt that a marketing study was necessary; whether to continue the item for two weeks for Council questions to be answered; whether a market study would be 5/27/87 Page 9 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT & ADMINISTRATION 9.

She stated that in light of the new information this should be con- sidered as a new application by the Commission.

ITEMS FROM STAFF No one chose to speak. ITEMS FROM COUNCIL Vice Mayor Drago stated that he had asked that this item be agendized for the public to be aware of his concerns. He stated that he had learned about a month ago that the County had stopped transporting our basic life support patients, and that the City's paramedic units were transporting all the City's patients. He stated that because there was not a renewal of the 1985 contract with the County this meant that without the contract, the paramedics would be out servicing more often. He stated that the previous contract was that the County subsidized private provider for South San Francisco residents, whereas without the contract the rates were double. He stated that he was concerned over the non-existent contract, and wondered how long the City was going to accept these conditions. 5/27/87 Page 12 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 0001.33 ....

Councilwoman Teglia stated that part of the problem was egress and ingress in the area, and perhaps someone needed to give up some and to make traffic in Westborough work.
