Key Issues from
December 15, 2021
Meeting
Summary of Key Issues
Labor negotiation: Applicant entered into an
agreement with Swinerton, a union general
contractor.
Identify an area on site for future gateway signage
and contribution toward signage: Applicant identified
two potential locations for gateway signage and will
provide partial contribution toward signage.
Reuse of historic materials on site: Salvaged lumber
from building will be used to construct interpretive
sign features; and salt processing equipment will be
retained and displayed.
Gateway Signage Locations
Summary of Key Issues
Sea Level Rise: The proposed structure meets City’s
standards for flood protection while portions of the site (parking lot, loading dock) may be inundated in the
future.
Potential for bird strikes: Building uses nonreflective glass & architectural features recommended by US Fish and
Wildlife to prevent bird strikes.
Use of permeable pavers: Not recommended due to
underlying soil and high water table.
Bay Trail and State Route 92 Additional Landscaping: Area is outside project property boundaries and addition of
landscaping would reduce the width of the Bay Trail.
Environmental
Impact Report
Environmental Impact Report
Initial Study found potentially significant impacts in the areas of Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Transportation and Tribal Cultural Resources; and found impacts less than significant in all other areas.
The Draft EIR found that all impacts could be mitigated to a level of less than significant with mitigation with the exception of Cultural Resources.
Mitigation Measures to document the existing structure affiliated with the Oliver Brother Salt Company, and to install an interpretive display at the site to commemorate the historic use were added to the project. However, the impact remains significant and unavoidable. The City Council must adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations related to the loss of the historic structure.
Findings &
Conditions
Findings
The project would be consistent with the General Plan Goals and Policies related to increasing jobs and enhancing the visual character of a gateway site.
The project would result in development of a warehouse for U- Haul corporate headquarters in the Industrial District where such uses are permitted.
The project would feature a glass-fronted building with an office appearance from Route 92 and artistic features.
The project would result in an increase in property taxes & signal new investment in the industrial area.
The project would result in realignment of the Bay Tail to take advantage of western views to the Bay.
The structure & Bay Trail would be located above the flood plain.
Conditions of Approval
Applicant will set aside land and contribute to
design, construction and installation of new sign.
Realignment and design of Bay Trail subject to East
Bay Regional Park District approval.
Lights in building shall be turned off at night to
minimize impacts on surrounding land & all site
lighting shall be designed to prevent spillover.
Proposed 32-acre preserve shall be subject to a
conservation easement and maintained in perpetuity
as open space.
All Mitigation Measures were made conditions of
approval of the project.
Staff Recommendation
That the City Council overturn the Commission
denial and approve Site Plan Review & Historical
Demolition Permit for the Proposed U-Haul
Development; and certify the Environmental
Impact Report & Related Findings and adopt
the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program and the Statement of Overriding
Considerations prepared for the Project.
