The complex shall employ uniformed security per- sonnel meeting the requirements of Municipal Code Chapter 6.62 24 hours daily, 365 days a year. This protection is required to start during construction of the first structure. This condition, 4.b., may be modified based on the detailed security/safety plan developed according to condition 4.c., as approved by the City of South San Francisco Police Depart- ment"; this allows the Police Dept. discretion; the other measure discussed was adding a condition for the applicant to participate in shuttle services that may be established; this was an omission by staff because they did use this in the Hampton Inn in the Gateway and staff is suggesting that condition A.9. read, "The applicant shall participate in the shuttle service program currently operating within the Gate- way Project, which provides service to and from the CalTrain and Glen Park BART Stations and is avail- able to all employees in the project area. The appli- cant shall cooperate with the City in the develop- ment/implementation of a regional shuttle service if such is considered by the City"; the applicant is in concurrence with the condition; these were the 10/15/97 Page 2 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 1. Public Hearing - Continued. issues discussed and staff is satisfied the amended conditions meet the direction given. Discussion followed: the new A.9 is the identical language as that in the Hampton Inn agreement; yes, the last sentence; is that strong enough to mandate participation; yes, it is on a cooperation basis for they have agreed to it, because until such a plan is in place it is hard to plan out the responsibility; Boardmember Yee was not sure what A.9 really means, it is nice to have something like that, but are we expecting money from them when they pick up a passenger; Executive Director Wilson stated what he originally had in mind the Court won't allow, he envisioned something in the past when we extended the sewer laterals in the County and formed sewer assessments, for ultimately there needs to be some on-going subsidy and he found to date the corpora- tions have participated on behalf of the employees; but that language is in jeopardy because of Court cases that occurred elsewhere, so we are withholding language until we have a program or a suggestion, so we are looking for shuttle service and suggest- ing they encourage that; Boardmember Yee was con- cerned on how to get the message out, for after the company has a permit they can tell you to go fly a kite; say we say they provide a shuttle to the train or BART or in the alternative they participate in the existing shuttle service; we could add, "they shall participate in the program including paying the cost of the shuttle options"; for further clarification the Director of Economic & Community Development thinks the Agency is doing that now and the second part is reflected in the second sentence and until we do analyze and figure out how to mitigate; the City of Tracy tried to do that and the Court was reluctant to impose the cadillac of resolutions rather than a minimum form of resolution because the developers were successful; the Counsel told the Executive Director that the existing language covers it; Boardmember Yee believes the City should devel- op a transportation plan for the east of 101 soon, but he did not know if it was part of the general plan, because when you look at the traffic report and cumulative impact from C to D, well if you are going to change the level of service then there has to be some financial mitigations, otherwise we are trying to catch hold of straws; staff started discuss- ing that already; Boardmember Yee stated the 300 trips trigger the review by the CMP, but more im- portantly the east of 101 is covered by the CMP and 10/15/97 Page 3 AGENDA _AC_TIQN TAKEN 1. Public Hearing - Continued. either is going to require us to prepare a plan, be- cause if you keep adding development, then when you get to the last one and ask for an efficiency plan and if we don't comply we are not going to get Measure A money; Boardmember Yee also asked, what happened to the sewer connection fee that said based on water use; yes, that is wrong; change condition 4. "A sewer connection fee will be calcu- lated based on the requirements set forth in the Municipal Code"; Boardmember Datzman welcomed the applicant to the City and stated this City sets the applicant down to discuss concerns and satisfy con- ditions recognizing every day is important to the applicant; he was glad the police were happy with the new language; add to the end of condition A.9 "or another entity approved by the City".
