COUNTY ADOPTION OF NORTHGATE ACTIVITY CENTER PLAN STATUS REPORT (Pl) - File 10-2 VI Planning Director Moore's report submitted to Council was a lengthy report to show documentation of the various steps that had taken place with the County over several months. After the Planning Commission reviewed the Northgate Activity Center Plan, Council adopted it in the fall of 1982. In early 1984 after the Planning Commission's refusal to review the North Sar. Rafael Policy Plan, County staff intensively studied the plan. The County Planning Commission held public hearings in March, July, August and September and as reported in their meetings, the plans were reviewed in detail. The main concern staff had during the County review was the concept that the County staff had of giving credits to developers in the unincorporated area for inclusionary housing costs and roadway costs with credits coming out of the mitigation fee schedule imposed in the Northgate Activity Center and the areas tributary to it. Some of the proposals being discussed allowed major SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 12/3/84 Page 2 SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 12/3/84 Page 3 developments out at Lucas Valley Road liable for no traffic mitigation fees resulting in a short -fall of needed funds for improvements in Northgate particularly for Lucas Valley Road and Smith Ranch interchanges in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. The Board of Supervisors did approve the plan with a condition that the County could grant up to 5570 of the costs of certain roadway improvements; essentially, the improvements for Lucas Valley Road. Staff concludes that the way in which the Board adopted the Northgate Activity Center Plan is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the plan and the intent language is important. Councilmember Breiner moved and Councilmember Frugoli seconded, to accept the staff's report and to authorize the Mayor to communicate with the Board of Supervisors regarding the Northgate Activity Center Plan implementation.

REPORT ON TRAFFIC MONITORING PROGRAM IN THE NORTHGATE ACTIVITY CENTER PLAN AREA (PW) - File 10-2 VI Director of Public Works Bernardi indicated that six months ago when staff received authorization to conduct the traffic update, staff proceeded to take counts of the traffic in-house to keep costs of the project at a minimum. DKS Associates reviewed the field data and comparison to developments now in place. Recentiv, it was mutually decided that they would not do this work as they are currently retained by many of the private developers of the area. The City is currently renegotiating with another traffic engineering firm for the required services. It is expected that they will be retained shortly and if additional field counts are not needed, the analysis can proceed during the holidays. Councilmember Nave moved and Councilmember Frugoli seconded, to accept the staff's report.

The School District is selling the property and wanted to have it on record that the City accepted the property from the School District so when payments are made for the land under the assessment district proceedings, the School District will receive the funds.
