MINUTES City of San Leandro City Council and San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting-July 30, 2007 Page 9 successful retail developments that are currently underway, such as Santana Row in San Jose and Bay Street in Emeryville, include a mixed use residential component with residential over retail. The developer is interested in looking at the impacts of what such a development might involve. Scott Bell, President of ICI Development Company, addressed the City Council, stating that his company has developed over 50 shopping centers. Mr. Bell commented that his company has not done this type of mixed use development before, but he has spoken with consultants who suggested that ICI consider the idea. Mr. Bell stated that he envisions a project with 85% retail and 15% residential. He commented that some exciting things could be done with the residential use, but would not need to be pursued if the Council chose not to consider it. Mr. Jermanis noted that Councilmember Starosciak had referred to the scope of work and asked whether it would be worthwhile to include "retail only" as another option. Mr. Sims indicated that option was essentially embodied in the scope of work, but could be clarified and made very distinct. Councilmember Stephens commented that he is inclined to go forward with this action as a starting point. He commented that the Council would be ill-served to eliminate any options until the EIR has been completed. Councilmember Stephens noted that there would be opportunities in the future to comment on the developer's proposal. He commented on successful Bay Area developments that have incorporated a housing component, and stated that it would not be prudent or wise for the Council to "close the door before having an opportunity to see inside the room." Councilmember Starosciak commented that she would like to look at all the options. However, she expressed concern that the EIR would be looking at options with only residential components included, and she stated that she would like to ensure that all the options are open. Councilmember Starosciak commented on the section in the agreement relating to air quality, stating that she would like to receive quantitative information about air quality in that area. Mayor Santos stated that he has several concerns with mixed use in that area. He pointed out that the site is on the 1-880 corridor and there is a higher than normal rate of asthma in the area. He noted that Marina Boulevard is already a high traffic corridor and may become even more highly traveled depending on the development at the shoreline. Mayor Santos expressed concern that residential development would generate even more traffic, and that there is a lot of air traffic going over the site into the North Field of the Oakland Airport. Mayor Santos indicated that he could support the action if the mixed use option was removed. A motion was made by Councilmember Starosciak to adopt the resolution, adding the option of retail only use to the existing options in the scope of services and adding a quantitative air quality study. Vice Mayor Grant seconded the motion.
