Mr. Pavan stated that the City does not require all the parking lot to be stubbed out but only those spaces closest to the office building. Commissioner Blank inquired whether parking row should have one stub so as to feed spots in that row. He indicated that he felt there is an opportunity to build in the infrastructure at construction time, which would cost a lot less than doing it after the fact. Mr. Pavan indicated that there is a condition of approval requiring a stub out, conduit, and pull strings in those spaces closest to the office buildings only. He added that the applicant needs to do the installation. Commissioner Pentin stated that the last time this project came before the Commission, it was around 58,000 square feet with a possible expansion of 5,000 to 7,000 square feet. He inquired if this was no longer the case. Mr. Pavan replied that Safeway reduced the area to 58,000 square feet because the company feels that size can accomplish its business plan for this store. He noted that should it expand to 65,000 square feet in the future, the applicant would need to submit the plan to the Planning Division to ensure sufficient parking space accommodations. Commissioner Pentin inquired where the storm water runoff is in the park property and inquired if the ponds were those by Valley Avenue. He further inquired if these were new ponds. Mr. Pavan confirmed that these are the ponds by Valley Avenue but that there are no new structures or facilities to handle storm water runoff. He indicated that the applicant will need to provide bio swales and pipes and ensure water is retained long enough to achieve its settling function. Commissioner Pentin referred to the two new crosswalks that lead to the Bernal Corporate Park and one on the corner of Valley Avenue and Bernal Avenue. He inquired if there were any restrictions or stipulations against Fairgrounds parking. Mr. Pavan replied that this would be up to Safeway Stores and that there are no conditions in the PUD addressing Fairgrounds parking. Commissioner Pentin noted that according to the parking requirements for the entire facility, it is over-parked by 200 spaces, especially in the retail portion of the complex. He inquired if the impact of that corner has been brought into the traffic study, considering the Good Guys and Fairground activities. Mr. Pavan replied that the traffic study did not analyze Fairgrounds parking. He indicated that there is a condition that states that the applicant can request the City Council to have the Vehicle Code enforced on this property. He noted that he has seen signs referring to towing vehicles that are not supposed to be parked in certain areas.’ PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, August 25, 2010 Page 26 of 38
