Development Committee July 12 , 1989 GP-89-21 and ZR-89-27 Page 2 ANALYSIS OF ISSUES : Several informal discussions addressing major issues for this project and vicinity have already occurred prior to this Development Committee date . These are discussed in greater detail as follows : A. Scope of Review/Study Area Boundaries ( see attached map ) - Although staff does not recommend expanding the boundaries of this application beyond the 125 acre parcel; environmental, traffic, land use , and service issues will examine a larger area as shown on the attached map. This "cumulative impact" study area was discussed with the applicant at a separate meeting on June 15 , 1989 . Further, this expanded review area will encompass 2 review levels . A level 1 or detailed level of analysis will be required within the boundaries of the identified industrial study area and a regional or more tra- ditional cumulative impact level of analysis will be required for the area identified a level 2 . It is anticipated that the primary thrust of this cumulative analysis will be circu- lation and infrastructure . If , however, after the Initial Study and scoping process have been completed other pertinent issues are identified, these may be included as well. Air quality analysis is a likely candidate for a level 1 review within the boundaries of the industrial study area. B. Circulation - Improvements to both of the interchanges for Patterson Pass Load at I-250 and I-580 will be required . Scope and timing of these interchange improvements as well as widening of and improvements to Shulte Road and Patterson Pass Road will be detailed by Caltrans and the County Department of Public Works . It is critical that any required traffic analysis and PSR ' s be coordinated with the preparation of the EIR for the GPA/ZR. Otherwise, there may be significant lag times between actions on Planning Department applications and the requirements of these other agencies . In other words , you may have a decision on the GPA/ZR, but be stalled from going forward with the project until the requirements of these agencies have been completed . C. Timing - Timing has been identified as a critical element to the success of this project by the applicant. For this rea- son a schedule estimating optimum processing dates has been included. This time schedule or calendar is for purposes of discussion only since it relies not only on the ability of the applicant to supply in a timely manner all required fees and information, but the full and timely cooperation of all responsible and trustee agencies involved in the project. Concerns regarding the overlapping requirements and time
