(District 8)
Item 31 Report from Development Services Recommendation to Declare Ordnance. Finding that a transportation improvement fee credit is due and authorizing the city manager to execute an agreement providing for the Transportation Improvement Fee Credit Read and adapted as read. District eight A motion by Councilman Austin and I seconded Councilman Austin. Yes, this is a continuation from last week and I would urge your support. Thank you. Sir, any member of the public that wishes to address item 31. Please come forward. Provided the Riverwalk residential development can go through. This. This item makes perfect sense, I guess. But one of the reasons I came down here tonight. Fact. The driving reason. It's not because I want to and not because I know whether this development is going to pan out beautifully or be a bust. I don't think anybody knows that. But there is one thing that. Project approvals or any other action by the city is not supposed to do. And that is. Proceed in an illegal or at least totally illegitimate matter with respect to certifying an environmental impact report. Last week you certified an environmental impact report that materially falsified the situation and that has considerable impacts on the necessity or otherwise for mitigations. As one speaker then pointed out, an excuse such as the lack of standards for traffic crowding, residential streets, a lack of standards which you can very well understand, because it's presumed that that development along a residential street will not, in the ordinary experience, have any impact. That's worth writing a standard about that using such a phony excuse. Lack of standard. In order to. Disregard the issues that go into a proper environmental impact report. That. Simply is not contemplated by the California Environmental Quality Act. And I'm here because this is actionable. And if citizens feel that there is a cause for action, they are supposed to warn the other party if they have a possibility of warning them that it is actionable. This will be one of the several resolutions pertaining to the existence of the project that calls for your consideration as to whether you really wanted to certify and in an inadequate report when you could have turned around and you still could then ask for a few weeks whereby a correct report is produced. Thank you. Thank you. Members, please cast your vote. Motion carries. Item 32 Report from Development Services Recommendation to declare ordinance. Finding that a Parks and Recreation Facilities Fee credit is due and authorizing the city manager to execute an agreement providing for the park fee credit read and adopted as read.
