Director of Economic & Community Development Van Duyn stated tonight was a Public Hearing to hear questions on the SEIR and the extension of the Specific Plan and Development Agreement and there will be a presentation on the significant findings. He stated action will be taken at the continued Pub- lic Hearing on 12/18/96 and tonight was to knock out questions and consultants are available. He proceeded to give background information: 12/2/92 the City and the Board of Supervisors of San Mateo County adopted the Terrabay Specific Plan following certification done on the Project; in 1988 the City and the Developer entered into an agreement which was extended to 2/14/96 for the first phase and that has not been completed; the applicant has requested an extension of the Develop- ment Agreement for the next ten years; slides were projected with the entire site and additional phases of the residential neighborhoods along the Bayshore and the residential phase on Hillside and Sister City Boulevard; Council approved the construction and the DCC&Rs for the Developer to proceed with the development; the fire station and Sister City Blvd. have been constructed in the first phase; addi- tional hook ramps must be constructed for the Spe- cific Plan; mandates of the Specific Plan; plans for phase 2 and 3 for hotel and retail use; in September Council approved the applicant's DCC&Rs, the recreation and childcare facility plans to replace an in-door swimming pool with a gym and in-lieu fees for the childcare center; request from the applicant for a ten year extension of the Terrabay Specific Plan and Development Agreement; the SEIR was distributed on the 5th of January for public review and comment; the draft transportation section was distributed for additional comments on the 30th of August; public comments during Planning Commis- sion public hearings on the needs for the shell mounds previously identified in the phase 3 portion of the Project will come forward for environmental review; the EIR document has been completed and includes all comments; he asked the Council to hold off any questions until the EIR process; etc. Mr. John Wagstaff, Consultant, related: his firm's background of 16 years of doing EIRs which in- 11/13/96 Page 6 ~ENDA ACTIQN TAKEN ]~ PUBLIC HEARINGS *. Public Hearing - Continued. PUBLIC HEARINGS cludes doing EIRs for three years for this City; his firm prepared the draft SEIR. under the direction of the staff and City Attorney; he spoke of the new impacts that have occurred since 1982 and the mitigations; responded to 40 letters on the draft SEIR.; his firm did a reanalysis of the traffic as- pects; Planning Commission had public hearings on 10/29/96 and 11/7/96 and recommended the Council accept it; Council should review the errata yellow section for it is the latest summary of impacts and mitigations; two of the three shell mounds are within phase 3 and the shell mounds are 200-300' in diame- ter and 5 or 6' deep; mitigation is a one foot cap- ping in the original EIR, now they determined it needs a bigger cap and called for a greater miti- gation plan; extensive landslide repair program should be increased to address on-going cleaning for the cut and fill with vegetation and wild life to comply with the Plan; there are problems with the restoration that have been addressed and traffic is the fourth concern; they are addressing land use compatibility, etc. Ms. Jan Smith, S.S.F.U.S.D., related that the School District's staff is committed to working with the Developer to provide a good living environment and produced a letter for the record dated 11/13/96 with responses to comments received on the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report. Ms. Jan Pont, 111 Belmont Ave., asked if the new green area on the map had been presented to the public. City Manager Wilson stated that has always been part of the Plan. Mayor Drago asked if that portion was in Brisbane. City Manager Wilson stated Brisbane was involved and has control of the right-of-way. Ms. Pont stated she did not understand how the Council could say yes or no, when this is a ten year program and next year is the deadline. She wants to take each phase as the Council goes along, and next year there will be a new Council and she wants new blood to be given to the community, because some- times we have made mistakes. She wants to put 11/13/96 Page 7 AGENDA _AC_TIQN TAKEN I~ I PUBLIC HEARINGS ¢. Public Hearing - Continued. 11/13/96 Page 8 PUBLIC HEARINGS things on hold and take each phase, one at a time. Mr. Matt Bergren, 2440 16th St.,//180, San Fran- cisco, related: he was born in the bay area in 1935, in Berkeley and lived around the bay area, and now in San Francisco; they have been trying to do every- thing to try and maintain some kind of open space, but everything is paved over; he does not want more Taco Bells and hotels rather than saving the Moun- tain; everyone should stop and consider why they live here in the bay area, it is because it is so beauti- ful and most of that beauty is because of natural re- sources; if those resources are destroyed people will not come here, for people want a mountain to look at and walk on; etc. Mr. Kurt Poeuleman, 816 Maddux Dr., Daly City, stated he feels there are too many shopping centers and freeways and are taking more habitat away from wild life, especially the migratory birds who help to control the insect population which has destroyed thousands of trees and has increased 60% in num- bers. He hoped they could stop the total destruction of wildlife through the loss of habitat. Mr. David Schooley, P. O. Box AO, Brisbane, San Bruno Mountain Watch, stated at the first Planning Commission meeting there was a question at the end about our protest about what the Habitat Conserva- tion Plan has done so far on San Bruno Mountain. He stated he would give the City information on this and from their point of view and studies the HCP has been a disaster. He wanted the Council to look at their point of view, at the critical part, because this habitat plan was the first and is being looked at countrywide. He stated he attended a meeting in Sacramento with Fish & Wildlife, people from Washington, D.C., the State of California and environmental groups consid- ering what is going to happen with the habitat. He gave information on what has happened on San Bruno Mountain with the habitat plan with error after error and there was silence in the meeting and one of the workers that is doing rework for the Fish & Wildlife Services said that San Bruno Mountain is not a model any more, for once it was an HCP mod- el for the world and it is not now. The ques- tions that come up are critical, because what hap- AGENDA ACTION TAKEN PUBLIC HEARINGS PUBLIC HEARINGS pens now to the year 2000 is so important, and he hoped everyone reconsiders the care of the wildlife and rare and endangered species in the area. What does that mean to us through time, that we should build our awareness of this planet and keep it in spite of money and power. He noted the tunnel measure in Pacifica was won by the people and it was critical. The bay area is a place of growth and power, but what happens in the year 2050 when our children's children have no mountain to climb and no habitat to learn about, plus the native heritage and what that will do to us throughout time. He was greatly concerned about the endangered species and the re-creation of the habitat, for it was not working. The Mountain Watch people are watching this because it is critical, as well as the prehistoric center which is going to be cemented over and then a hotel built. His hope is that the area becomes a part of the park for the site is 5000 years old, is next to the bay and there is nothing else left. He stated in the last 40 years it was set up by law that you can cement the mounds and you can cover it over, they call it protecting the mounds, but obviously it undoes itself. He wants to take a look at why that legal effort happened and how it can be changed. This is one of the last shell mound villag- es, there is nothing else left outside of S.S.F. as a learning place for our children. He wants to stay in contact, knows there are ten years and they are doing archeological research. Mayor Drago invited discussion from the Council. Discussion followed: will all the consultants be in attendance on the 18th; staff had not planned for that; how Harland Tate came into the picture; Coun- cilman Yee questioned page 2 of the Specific Plan on whether the City is committed to these units, because there is no plan and what latitude does the City have in future; Phase I is committed and there is a threshold of 428 in subsequent phases; the number can be reduced in the EIR process and the Council has discretionary power; on page 5 in the second bullet on the architectural site, Councilman Yee wants the language broadened and does not want future Councils locked in on covering and 11/13/96 Page 9 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN PUBLIC HEARINGS 4.

M/S Yee/Fernekes - To continue the Public Hearing to 12/18/96. Carried by unanimous voice vote. Mayor Drago declared a recess at 9:30 p.m. Mayor Drago recalled the meeting to order at 9:42 p.m. Mayor Drago opened the Public Hearing. Director of Economic & Community Development Van Duyn gave the staff report on the appeal of the Planning Commission decision and recommended the Council uphold the Planning Commission ap- proval of Planned Unit Development PUD-96-058 based on the findings in the staff report. He related: it is the opinion of the Commission that the Project creates a positive image for the future; the Oldtown Homeowners Assoc. spoke in favor of the Project at the Planning Commission meetings and felt it was an improvement to the neighborhood; the building would be 46' high and the height limit is 50'; the landscaping requirement is 10% and a 6' wide land- scaped strip on the south side of the lot was made part of the conditions of approval to be met before a building permit can be issued; parking requirements, are being met at least by Code; staff and the Commission feel they acted within their authority 11/13/96 Page 10 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN PUBLIC HEARINGS 5. Public Hearing - Continued. 11/13/96 Page 11 PUBLIC HEARINGS and consistent with the General Plan. John Markley, Esq., 626 Greystone Terrace, stated he represents the owner of 701 Airport Blvd. who opposes the Project for the following reasons: not because it is competitive, for there is a hotel at the end of the street he did not oppose; the Commission approved a development that was not applied for; the applicant expressly deleted the manager apart- ment, so they could meet the parking, yet the staff approved it with a manager's apartment and he feels it should go back to the Commission for clarifica- tion; what has been proposed. Director of Economic & Community Development Van Duyn stated, in the interests of clarity, the staff report that he sent to the Council is in error and the ground floor manager's unit does not exist and is now a large lobby for the manager's apartment was withdrawn. However, the staff used a disk that had not been updated for the staff report, but that should not affect the Council's deliberations for it meets the parking requirements. John Markley, Esq., questioned if they now com- plied with the landscaping for that information was not in the file Friday, and he wanted to make sure the landscaping and parking are complied with be- fore permits are issued. Director of Economic & Community Development Van Duyn stated the applicant is required to submit the landscaping plan prior to the time the building permit is issued. In response to the Mayor's ques- tion, he stated that the Planning Commission was aware of points made by Atty. Markley. Discussion followed: the applicant either has 10% or not and if not, it comes to the Council; the Di- rector does not feel there are any loose ends; Mayor Drago stated the staff report says the Project allows two spaces on Chestnut Avenue - Chestnut is two miles away; the Director meant Cypress Ave- nue; Councilman Yee stated he thought this was a good project and does not want to vote on this to- night, because he does not like the process; Markley, Atty. stated the Project was too massive and does not comply with the General Plan and Policy 44; etc. AGENDA ACTION TAKEN PUBLIC HEARINGS 5. Public Hearings 11/13/96 Page 12 PUBLIC HEARINGS Mr. George Bugnatto, Oldtown Homeowners Assoc., spoke in favor of the denial of the appeal. He first thanked Mayor Drago for his many years in S.S.F. and said he also made the same decision in the past. He found this appeal to be that of nitpicking, for the only allegation is two parking spaces in the rear setback, this is not an exception to the Code and the Project did meet the General Plan. A gentleman stated he was the architect for the Project and reiterated that the parking and landscap- ing would easily be met, they mitigated 6' in back with off-site landscaping, it was compatible to the neighborhood and will be a good asset to the City. Mayor Drago closed the Public Hearing. Discussion followed: Councilman Mullin felt there was adequate land, parking, landscaping and this will enhance the long term planning for Airport Blvd. and he was prepared to reject the appeal; Vice Mayor Fernekes agreed; Councilman Yee asked if it was in Council's discretion to approve the manager's unit tonight; City Attorney stated it requires addi- tional parking; Director of Economic & Community Development Van Duyn stated the Manager would not stay there, but could use a unit; Councilman Yee asked if the Council can add a manager's unit and waive the parking space; City Attorney Mattas stated this is an appeal, and if the Council was going to do that there needs to be another Public Hearing; if landscaping was installed on the street it poses a problem in maintenance and the 6' split faced con- crete wall was recommended by the Oldtown Home- owners Assn.; Councilman Yee stated the Council has plans to landscape Airport Blvd. and felt this landscaping should fit in with the trees the City is going to plant; staff feels it will. M/S Mullin/Fernekes - To deny the appeal and uphold the decision of the Planning Commission. Amended Motion/Second - To include the City's tree planting. The Architect stated the applicant can agree to that. AGENDA ACTION TAKEN PUBLIC HEARINGS 5. Public Hearings - Continued. 16.

City Attorney stated the City Clerk did not have to again read the titles of the ordinances because it was a continued Public Hearing. Mayor Drago reopened the Public Hearing. Assistant Building Official Kirkman stated because of the passage of Proposition 218 there is a cloud over adopting any new fees, so the City will retain the 1991 fees and they will not adopt the grey water. City Manager Wilson stated the resolutions will be adopted at the next meeting and the findings will be revised according to Council direction. Councilman Mullin stated, from what he has read, Proposition 218 is moot and workshops are sched- uled. City Attorney Mattas stated he will advise the Coun- cil, for his firm was reviewing the City fees after passage of the measure, but believes the limitation does not repeal the sewage and garbage fees. His firm is talking to the Jarvis people because the mea- sure is broadly worded. Mayor Drago closed the Public Hearing.
