Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - May 7, 1990 Page - 8 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued): In response to a question about numbers of parking spaces, Mr. Rugg indicated that there are 46 spaces currently and there will be 58 when the new shopping center is completed. He also indicated that some widening on Davis Street would make the Douglas/Davis Street intersection work better. Mr. Rugg indicated affirmatively to Council Member Polvorosa's question regarding access to the building from Douglas Drive. At this time, various building elevations and landscaping plans were reviewed. Jim Burns, 1825 San Pablo Avenue, Oakland, agent for the developers, Pethan, Cornelius, and Miller, indicated that at the Planning Commission's March 14 meeting, the major topic of discussion was parking; and, subsequent to that, the developers had met with City staff to develop an approach for a good tenant mix and parking allocation. Council Member Perry asked where the loading areas would be located. Mr. Rugg responded that deliveries would be made from the front door but the developer would control delivery hours. In response to Council Member Perry's question as to how the developers intended to control loading times and areas, Meryl Pethan indicated that deliveries would be made between 10:00 p.m. and 12:00 midnight, with food delivered early in the morning. Mr. Pethan further added that the center will not have a major anchor tenant; it will probably include a small market, a food "takeout, " a liquor store, a travel agency, insurance office, and those types of uses. Ramona Haller, 1607 Virginia Street, spoke in favor of the project but expressed her concern about the appearance of the property now, particularly with regard to the graffiti on the Douglas Drive wall . In answer to a question from Mayor Karp, Mr. Pethan indicated that, although it was almost impossible to get the vandals out and the graffiti off, he would do his best to remove it as soon as he is notified. He also stated his intent to move the remaining tenants out by mid June and to demolish the building shortly thereafter. Richard Johnson, 1263 Douglas Drive, spoke in favor of the project, getting the building torn down, and getting the area cleaned up as soon as possible. He also stated that he has never seen the existing parking lot full . There being no further comments from the public, on motion of Council Member Glaze, seconded by Council Member Faria and carried unanimously, the Public Hearing was closed. On motion of Council member Santos, seconded by Council Member Glaze and carried unanimously, PD-90-1 GDP/PDP was approved with the Negative Declaration.
