Kral, Vistar Financial, Inc., addressed Council on behalf of the proposed Rancho La Costa Plaza to be located on the southeast corner of La Costa Avenue and Rancho Santa Fe Road. Mr. Kral stated they were not aware that no development could take place along Rancho Santa Fe Road until the roadway was improved. Mr. Kral gave a history of the project and stated they have had a traffic study made which indicated there would be no traffic impact and no circulation deficiency due to this project. He said this project was a needed infill project that would provide a service to the 8,500 residents in the immediate area. At the present time, there is no neighborhood shopping area, causing the residents to drive to the Encinitas area or La Costa and El Camino Real. Mr. Kral listed the improvements to be made to the intersection by this project and asked Council to allow the project to proceed. Ron King, 2814 Atadero, spoke in favor of the project, stating it would be a benefit to the community by providing a shopping area close to his home. Bill Funke, 2814 Sombrosa, stated his support for the project which would provide convenience stores closer for the people living in the immediate area. John Lemkey, 3104 Del Ray, spoke in support of the project due to the need for a retail center there. Hilbert Mercado, 2815 Sombrosa, the broker for the project, addressed Council as a resident, stating the health and welfare of the community was in jeopardy due to the state of the intersection at that corner. This would be an opportunity to improve that intersection and also remove some of the traffic going to San Plarcos or Encinitas for retail purposes. In answer to Council query, Bob Johnson, Traffic Engineer, stated no detailed traffic study had been prepared for this project. Mr. Johnson had not seen the traffic study conducted by the applicant until this afternoon and had not had time to evaluate it. Mr. Johnson stated that the information from the traffic counters indicated this intersection was approaching an unacceptable level of service. Staff indicated the zone plan had indicated no development could occur in this area until the financing was in place for Rancho Santa Fe Road. Mr. Orenyak stated the applicants are interested in pursuing Mello Roos financing, and in that case the financing could close rapidly. 9Q I S% MEMBERS COUNCIL \\ %9+%%+ Z. 8 .Z. t! \ \ - e e MINUTES (63) (63) (70) February 14, 1989 Page 5 COUNCIL \$$ "0 $,% MEMBERS Z. 6 9 DEPARTMENTAL AND CITY MANAGER REPORTS: (Continued) Council Member Mamaux stated he would be more comfortable taking action after staff reviewed the traffic study brought in by the applicant.
