Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - June 10, 1991 Page - 5 - NEW BUSINESS (continued) The City Council asked what circumstances would cause vertical displacement on the Hayward Fault; discussed the need for additional Disaster Arks; expressed concern regarding the location of the roadways in relation to the fault lines; and questioned whether the fault lines crossed the roadways in the project. There being no further presentations or comments, Mrs. Catalano requested direction from the City Council . Council Member Corbett said she felt the City Council needed additional information related to specific site engineering and criteria. Mrs. Catalano explained that this criteria is normally developed later in the development process, as part of the subdivision map. She explained that in addition to meeting minimum requirements of Uniform Building Code, this project would be subject to engineered planning and several levels of review. She said the requirements of the UBC are just a minimum, but greater standards and controls would be applied to this site. The City Council asked questions related to peer-review of the design and the need for special inspections on the foundations of the houses. Council Members Perry and Santos said they did not like the idea of combining the General Development Plan with the Precise Development Plan on a project of this complexity. Steve Meyers, City Attorney, explained to the City Council some of the available options for action: 1 . The City Council could grant the appeal , and approve the General Development Plan (GDP) and Precise Development Plan (PDP) , subject to conditions. 2. The City Council could grant the appeal and approve only the GDP, subject to conditions, and give specific direction to the Planning Commission related to areas of concern. 3. The City Council could ask for further information or clarification from staff or City consultants. 4. The City Council could ask that the consultants provide the City with additional conditions of approved based on their testimony tonight. The City Council asked, if they approved the GDP, would it set the number of units? Mr. Meyers said yes; he said changes could be made in the PDP but only if they were not substantive changes. He said the PDP sets conditions related to landscaping, traffic circulations, etc.
