Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - September 8, 1992 Page - 3 - PUBLIC COMMENTS (continued) time to hear from the public. She said she has been told the developer would be willing to work with San Leandro on some of the issues, but she did not see any evidence of this in the video tape. Council Member Myers concurred with Council Member Corbett. He said the community has asked for involvement in this project. He said the project will cause a major traffic impact. He asked what the City could do at the Public Hearing and what would happen after it. Steve Meyers, City Attorney, said the results of the Public Hearing would be communicated to the Oakland Planning Commission or City Council . He said the City of San Leandro has no direct jurisdiction but could communicate its concerns. Council Member Perry questioned the time line. She said this matter will be before the Oakland Planning Commission soon. She said San Leandro requested that a number of conditions be placed upon the project and asked if there is a meeting planned to discuss some of these impacts with the developer. Mike Oliver said the Planning Commission' took a straw vote at its last meeting, and a meeting has been scheduled for a formal vote. He said the developer has contacted San Leandro to discuss possible mitigation compensation, particularly in the area of traffic. He said the Oakland Planning Commission did not impose any traffic mitigation requirements. He said its action was to pursue mitigations that are typically required by Oakland, but Oakland does not have a DFSI or park-land in- lieu requirement. He said staff would be discussing the possibility of payment of those fees to San Leandro with the developer. Council Member Kerr stated he heard Oakland is not concerned about San Leandro issues since the project is entirely within Oakland's boundaries and they do not have DFSI or park-land in-lieu fees. He said he is concerned about traffic and drainage, and mitigation of those issues should be pursued. He said he favors a Public Hearing. Council Member Faria said he would like to see a meeting arranged between staff and the developer before a Public Hearing. He said he does not think the Council would hear anything that the Oakland Planning Commission has not already heard. He said he would like to see what staff could come up with first and get a report on that, then see if a Public Hearing is needed. He said there are two issues, traffic and drainage. He said if the developer is providing enough parks, San Leandro wouldn't impose a park condition. He said the Council should wait until staff meets with the developer and see what kind of deal they can get for San Leandro.
