of the City Council
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:
There will shortly be coming before you for review and approval the Precise Plan of Development for the expansion of the Plaza Camino Real Shopping Center, submitted pursuant to our Agreement with the City dated November 5, 1975 and the tentative Tract Map for the expanded center. You will also be receiving for
review and aaoption an Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
entitled "Plaza Camino Real Expansion to Five-Store Configuration
and Realignment of Buena Vista Creek", prepared by the City's
Planning Department.
The Precise Plan shows the expansion of the shopping center in a four-department store configuration and includes the realignment of the channel of Buena Vista Creek northerly of its present location.
The Plan allows for the possibility of the addition of a fifth
department store, The Broadway. We have included additional
drawings to demonstrate how the site will look if this further expansion takes place. In order to provide the additional parking required for the fifth department store, it will be necessary to construct a concrete box culvert in a portion of the realigned channel of Buena Vista Creek.
Because of the cost involved in constructing a concrete box,
financial arrangements for the fifth department store have
not yet been satisfactorily concluded. If such arrangements are resolved, we will submit for council approval an amendment
to the Precise Plan providing the same information with respect
to the fifth department store as has been provided in the
Precise Plan for the four-department store expansion.

At the present time, we are only asking for approval of the
four-department store Precise Plan and the realigned open
channel for Buena Vista Creek. The EIR, however, deals with
the realignment of Buena Vista Creek both as an open channel
and as partially enclosed by the box culvert in connection with
the addition of the fifth department store, so that it covers
both eventualities.
Sincerely,
PLAZA CAMINO REAL, a limited partnership
