'J , 1 Director of Public Works Spagnolo presented additionat traffic mitigation alternatives for the I I Council's review. I Council Member Amold proposed several additional traffic mitigation alternatives which would 1 1 I involve a "right turn In" and "right turn out" from the driveway on the Trader Joe's (Phase 2) side; adding a right turn only lane on Rancho Parkway going into Phase 1 and widening the driveway entrance to accommodate additional turning lanes; and the potential addition of a driveway entering the rear of the center from Camino Mercedo. J I CITY COUNCIUREDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES FEBRUARY 8, 2005 PAGE 5 Council and staff discussion ensued regarding the original traffic study for the Five Cities Center and acknowledgment of the City's policy changes with regard to the use of specific traffic study data. Mayor Ferrara opened the public hearing. Carol Aorence. Principal Planner with Oasis Associates and representative for the applicant, acknowtedged the existing deficiencies with regard to traffic. She commented that the applicant is committed to constructing the appropriate improvements and is willing to analyze the proposed alternatives presented this evening and come back at a future meeting with the most appropriate alternative. Nathan Alvarado, Branch Manager for A.G. Edwards (Building L in Phase 2), suggested that ingress from Rancho Parkway into Phase 2 of the Five Citias Center be a one-way configuration so that traffic exits out of the northem driveway. He also expressed concems about earty moming truck deliveries to Trader Joe's. Upon hearing no further public comrnants, Mayor Ferrara closed the public hearing. Council Member Dickens said that it was important to apply appropriate mitigation to this particular application for the bank to address the cumulative effects on Phase 2 as it interacts with Phase 1. He stated he was unable to move forward with the alternative proposed in the staff report and favored a continuance for the opportunity to review and study the other proposed altematives presented this evening. Council Member Guthrie commented there was the consideration of the difference between a retail use and a financial use. He felt the financial use generates more trips than the retail use and some consideration should also be given to the sales tax loss issue. He acknowledged short and long-tenn traffic generation issues on all of the intersections in the area and commented that he did not think this part of the development of Phase 2 should be responsible for aU of those intersections. He said for the short tenn, he concurred that the proposed mitigation would not have been functional and expressed concerns about whether there is a mitigation that is functional that will make cross traffic possible between Phese 1 and Phase 2. He stated that the suggestion for one way in and one way out of Phese 2 could work. He stated he could not support approving the change in use at this time without a solution for traffic problems. He supported continuing the item for further study. Council Member Arnold stated it was important to solve the traffic issue before moving forward. He did not support any of the proposed alternatives as functional, with the exception of the alternative he had proposed, and possibly the placement of a stop sign near the northemPhase 2 exit or at Via Vaquero. He concluded by stating that he did not feel comfortable evaluating a project for this building or for Pad I until the traffic issue is solved first. He supported continuance of the item. Mayor Pro Tem Costello stated he could not support the proposed alternative or any mitigation that impedes traffic from Phase 1 to Phase 2. He commented that one of the issues that was brought up in terms of bringing in Wells Fargo was that it would service the entire Center. He stated there needed to be a smooth transition for circulation between Phases 1 and II. He commented on some of the alternatives presented and stressed the need for a solution to address short and long term traffic issues. He supported continuing the item for further study. ...- J CITY COUNCIUREDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES FEBRUARY 8, 2005 PAGE 6 Mayor Ferrara supported a 3O-day continuance to review additional alternetives. He recalled that when the traffic study was first done, it was determined that a signal or stop sign would not be appropriate because of its proximity to the W. Branch Street intersection. He referred to the suggestion for a stop sign at the upper driveway on Rancho Parkway and oornmented that the line of sight issue on Rancho Parkway is crucial and Rancho Parkway continues to be a very busy collector street. He did not support closing off access or installing a raised median from Phase 1 to 2, nor did he support channeling traffic back through the shopping center as an option. He supported a portion of Council Member Arnold's recommendation that he would like to look at further is another access at the back of the Center; however, he stated that this would have to include feedback from the surrounding neighborhood. He referred to Camino Mercado and expressed concern about a circulation fix that would impose any more traffic on Cemino Mercado. He also commented about being careful about the traffic flow between the driveways in Phase 2 and the potential for backing up of traffic if restricting ingress and egress to one-way. He suggested re-examining the potential for continued reduction of intensity of use in Phase 2 by looking at existing vacant areas in Phase 1. As far as the proposed financial use, he commented that although the building has been vacant for a while, retail sales tax generation was a condition of approval for the Center, and is also reinforced by the City's General Plan Economic Elament. Council Member Guthrie commented that a solution that includes making use of the main entrance on W. Branch Street into the Five Cities Center should be encouraged. Mayor Pro Tem Costello moved to continue the item to the regular City Council meeting of March 8, 2005. Council Member Arnold seconded the motion, and on the following roII-caJ1 vote: AYES: Costetlo, Arnold, Guthrie, Dickens, Ferrara NOES: None ABSENT: None There being 5 AYES and 0 NOES, the motion is hereby declared to be passed. I Mayor Ferrara called a break at 9:05 p.m. The Council reconvened at 9:17 p.m. , 'I 10. CONTINUED BUSlNE~ 1 None. J ~ 11. NEW BUSINEU ;1 '1 11.a. Consideration of Pre-Application Cue No. 04-017: Revl8l0n to PIId "I" In the Five Cities Canter; 911 Rancho P8rkw8Y. Assistant Planner Foster presented the staff report and recommended the Council review and oornment on the proposed project. Staff responded to questions from Council concerning accommodations for truck deliveries, proposed public access at the rear of the buildings; intent for monument signs and signage on the rear of the buildings as it relates to the Planned Sign Program; and clarification regarding the design of the tower etement. Paul Poirier, project architect, gave an overview of the proposed site plan, reviewed site circulation for traffic and pedestrians, and presented elevation and landscape designs. Mr. I I --.- -. J CITY COUNCIUREDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES FEBRUARY 8, 2005 PAGE 7 Poirier responded to questions from Council concerning the proposed layout of the buildings and issues related to truck circulation and delivery. Mayor Ferrara invited public comments on this item, and when no one came forward, he closed the publicoornment period. Council Member Dickens commented that the issue of traffic and circulation, as previously discussed, must be dealt with, especially as the potential use in Phase 2 is increased. He suggested reducing the square footage of the buildings as m~ch as possible. As far as truck loading, he encouraged obtaining input from the surrounding residents, and favored the Mayor's idea for creating an area between the buildings that would still allow for acceas around the back of the buildings. He did not feel the amount of parking provided behind the building would be utilized effectively. He did not feel there was a need for more signs and did not favor placing a monument sign at W. Branch Street. He suggested utilizing and expanding the existing monument sign at the entrance to Phase 2; and commented that the proposed sign on the tower facing the freeway is appropriate. He commented that the architectural detail is consistent with the area and he appreciated the architect's design element to deter swallows and other birds from nesting there and suggested providing more trees to mitigate that particular impact. He emphasized that the major issues regarding traffic and circulation would need to be addressed before moving forward. Council Member Guthrie referred to the parking in the back of the building and stated that historically it is underutilized. He expressed concerns about truck access and suggested leaving the proposed PETce building as it is and moving the multi-tenent retail building beck into the corner and eliminating the second truck access completely. As far as signage, he supported the proposed signage on the tower element and stated there would be a need for additional signage at the front of the property to identify other tenants. Council Member Amold stated the timing of this project is not good, as the traffic issue needs to be resolved first. He stated that two buildings as proposed Is appropriate; however, he would like to see the project built in phases. He expressed concern that the Center will be under parked and that the parking in the back would not be used. He suggested angUng the buildings in such a way that there is more frontage; and adding tree screening on the beckside of the property. He opposed to the freeway sign and expressed concern about the angle of the tower element as far as its visibility from the surrounding neighborhood. He said two major anchors for Phase 2 have major traffic impacts and would not approve a project until traffic impacts are mitigated. Mayor Pro Tem Costello agreed that traffic impacts must be addressed first. He stated that in terms of the design of the buildings and the parking in the rear, he felt it would be wasted space. He supported the design of two buildings instead of one, and supported the idea for moving one of the buildings back at an angle to allow a wider space for truck acceas, deliveries, and unloading; opposed signs on the back of the building which would be visible from the freeway; liked the way the building design incorporates measures to counteract the birds from nesting; emphasized that circulation would be a significant issue to solve; opposed the placement of a monument on the comer of W. Branch and Rancho Parkway, and favored incorporating additional signege on the existing monument sign. --.--....- __.u__.. -1 CITY COUNCIUREDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES FEBRUARY 8, 2005 PAGE 8 Mayor Ferrara agreed that parking at the rear of the buildings is wasted space. He favored the concept of breaking one larger building into two smaller buildings; favored the position of the anchor building and suggested sliding the position of the smaller building farther back to create more distance between the buildings to allow for a safety lane for circulation of service trucks. He suggested reversing the placement of smell tenants with the larger tenant to maximize the use of the truck aisle. He did not feel there was a need for a "loading dock" and suggested creating a "loading area" located on the side instead of the rear of the building. As far as traffic Impacts, he agreed that an environmental review would be necessary prior to any approvals for Pad I, and he emphasized the need for using actual traffic. counts and current data. With regard to architecture, he commented that it was consistent with existing architecture and he supported design elements that would discourage nesting birds. He concluded by stating he opposed a freeway visible sign. Mayor Pro Tem Costello also suggested that if the building could be positioned in such a way so that the truck delivery traffic could flow in a clockwise direction and never have to back up. Council Member Dickens also suggested to the applicant that perhaps Trader Joe's may be interested in moving into the bigger building to give them increased space. Upon conclusion of Council comments, Mayor Ferrara ensured that the applicant had received sufficient feedback and direction with regard to the proposed project. There was no formal action on this item. 11.b. Consideration of Approval for Code Enforcement Citation Program. Director of Building and Fire Fibich introduced Interim Neighborhood Services Coordinator Jon Ansolabehere, who presented the staff report and recommended the Council approve the proposed Code Enforcement citation program. Staff responded to queationa from Council concerning the number of existing cases, whether there would be an Increaae of the City Attorney's time on enforcement cases, and clarification that the citation authority currently exists and that the proposed process is being established to put guidelines in place for issuing citations for non-compliance of code enforcement cases.

Council Member Arnold supported the citation program and commented that the process includes generous noticing efforts by the City to request compliance. He suggested that specific fines/dollar amounts be incorporated in the Notice to Appear. ~ CITY COUNCIUREDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES FEBRUARY 8, 2005 PAGE 9 Mayor Pro Tem Costello supported the citation program, which has an emphasis on voluntary compliance. He stated that there would be a small percentage of non-compliance cases where the citation program would be useful. He supported the suggestion for incorporating specific fine amounts in the Notice to Appear. Mayor Ferrara supported the proposed citation program. He supported including language regarding specific fines on the Notice to Appear and also suggested that the same language be included in the two preceding Notice to Abate letters. He commended staff for putting togather the citation program and stated that the Interdepartmental Task Force component was a very I good aspect of the program.
