SUMMARY OF PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
This item was considered by the Planning Commission at their hearing of June 13, 2016. An overview of the project was provided; questions and discussion mostly related to the community benefit budget for public safety personnel, providing a green roof, retaining trees and replanting of large box trees, and methods to improve access from site to the VTA Light Rail station across Mathilda Avenue.
There is one clarification to the Report to Planning Commission (Attachment 9): on page one, the Present Site Conditions list the project being on the west side of Mathilda Avenue; it is on the east side of Mathilda.
No members of the public spoke on the item. The Planning Commission recommends approving the application with the addition to conditions to address improving access from the site to the VTA Light Rail station across Mathilda Avenue (EP-1, page 19 of Attachment 4). The Report to Planning Commission can be found in Attachment 9. Minutes of the Planning Commission hearing are Attachment 10.
