Central Pointe, 41" St. & Cabrillo Park August 15, 2019 Sunshine Ordinance Community Meeting Page 2 Questions, Comments, Answers: • Q. Target demographics? A. Millennial renters and empty nesters. Project will also comply with HOO (Housing Opportunity Ordinance). • Q. Will there be affordable units on site? A. Reviewed options that support HOO and which option to pursue is being considered and not yet determined. • Q. What types of businesses will occupy the retail component? A. Too soon to determine. Generally, the project needs to be built first and marketing for tenants will follow. • Q. When will the project be started? What is the time frame for completion? A. We just started the entitlement process, which could take 10 to 12 months. After project is approved, the construction document phase starts, which with plan check, could take 8 to 10 months and then 30 months to build out. • Q. Concern over dust impacts during construction. A. The EIR will identify all impacts and have specific requirements for mitigation. • Q. Parking concerns: 650 units is 1,400 cars; project will have 2-3 residents per unit. What is the parking? Concern over parking spilling over into the neighborhoods (like Mabury cul-de-sacs) where not enough parking currently exists. Need to increase parking ratio. Is there parking onsite? What about visitors parking? What about parking for the retail? A. Parking is 1.82 spaces per unit and is consistent with the zoning. There is a parking structure for each building; it's considered a wrap design. We're hearing your concerns and the parking will be further studied through the entitlement period. • Q. Concerns over traffic: Number of cars per unit; 650 units is 1,400 cars. Concerns with traffic using Mabury as a thorough fare to and from 1711 St. A. A traffic study is being done. Everyone's comments and concerns will be considered and addressed. • Q. Queuing going west on 4t" St. is already difficult. How will this affect that? A. An additional traffic lane is being added. • Q. Will there be consideration to add a bus route on 41" St.? Is it transit oriented? A. That's a question more for CalTrans. However, we are considering a shuttle service to/from the train station. • Q. Will there be a sound wall along the freeway side? A. We don't know yet. Those are details that still need to be worked out through the process. • Q. Utility poles, what's the status? A. They'll be undergrounded.
