Minutes - City of San Leandro City Council and San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting - February 7, 2000 Page 7 Hanson Horn indicated there is a Condition that requires all fencing, landscaping details regarding gates, etc., to be submitted to the Development Services Director for review. Council Member Glaze questioned what significant changes might be made to the project and who would approve them during the Value Engineering phases. Staff responded that the Development Services Director would review changes; and, if it was determined they are substantially different from what the Planning Commission or Board of Zoning Adjustments had reviewed, they could be taken back to either body for further review and, ultimately, on to the City Council if necessary . Council Member Loeffler voiced concerns with parking on East 14th Street and indicated he wants to make sure those potential problems are addressed. He commended staff and ABHOW for involving the community in this process. Council Member Grant indicated her support for the project. She questioned who will be responsible for cleaning up the site should toxins be discovered. Staff responded that phase one has occurred already, where underground and above-ground storage tanks have been removed, and there is case closure on the site and a "no-further-action letter" on file from the Air Quality Board. The City Manager, based on City Council comments, indicated that when the City Council/Redevelopment Agency makes a motion to move forward with this project, perhaps a statement should be made that, if there are any changes made to the concept plans, those changes must come back to the Redevelopment Agency for action. The City Manager reviewed the financing of the project with the City CounciV Redevelopment Agency.
