In response to Council query, Michael Holzmiller indicated that there had been a traffic study completed for all of the Occidental properties, which included this project. However, no study had been completed for only this project. He continued, adding that access on Paseo del Norte would be the primary access. As a further response, the City Engineer explained the location of the traffic signals, and stated that they would be installed when the traffic warrants justify the installation. Council Member Anear questioned whether the project contained any provisions for RV parking. Mr. Holzmiller, in response, indicated it was not a requirement of the ordinance.
