The Commission's first January meeting will include a presentation on the preliminary draft Housing Element and possibly review of the use permit application recently filed by CVS. The Commission's second January meeting is expected to include consideration of the Alta Robles project merits and Final EIR. The Parente Vista project, who's Precise Development Plan was approved last year, has filed its tentative map. This is expected to come before the Commission a little later in the year. , Vice-Chair Corcoran questioned and confirmed with staff that if not ready for the January 12, 2011 meeting, the CVS project may come forward at the January 26 meeting. PUBLIC HEARING 1. ONE BLACKIE'S PASTURE ROAD: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO CONSTRUCT AND OPERATE A PERMANENT PUBLIC RESTROMM BUILDING NEAR BLACKIE'S PASTURE: FILE 911004; Town of Tiburon, Owner and Applicant; Assessor's Parcel No. 055-041-19 Community Development Director Anderson presented the staff report, stating the Town has initiated a use pen-nit application to construct and operate a second permanent public restroom building near Blackie's Pasture Park. The proposed building, a prefabricated one-story RomTec construction, would provide four additional bathroom stalls adjacent to and on the southwest side of the existing 2-stall restroom facility, near the multi-use path. TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - DECEMBER S. 2010 MINUTES NO. 1003 PAGE I He stated that as the site has no immediate neighboring homes, any property that could potentially have a view of the proposed building did receive notice of the project and no comments have been received to date. Staff finds the project to be consistent with all zoning requirements and General Plan policies. There were no public comments. Vice-Chair Corcoran noted that the restroom building shown in the staff report photos had skylights, and asked whether the proposed building would have skylights. He confirmed that any skylights would be tinted to diffuse light pollution and asked how interior illumination would be regulated. Director of Public Works Nguyen stated that this building, like the current facility, would be locked at dusk. Presumably, light pollution should not be an issue as all lighting and electrical power is shut down at that time. Commissioner Tollini requested more background on the funding for this project. Mr. Nguyen stated the Town received a "per capita" recreation grant from the State a number of years ago, of which roughly $200,000 remains. The Town intended to earmark that money for potential use on the Ned's Way joint recreation facility; however, it recently became clear that the Ned's Way facility could not be completed in time to utilize the grant money. Staff identified two alternative projects, one of which was construction of a decomposed granite jogging path extending from South of Knoll Park to the treatment plant near McKegney Green. That project required the displacement of a number of utility boxes and facilities and essentially became infeasible within the brief time window remaining to expend the grant money. The restroom project proved to be a great candidate, given the tremendous growth of use Blackie's Pasture has seen over the past few years. The soccer league increases their play there each year and the Town has ended up renting port-o johns to accommodate the growing number of visitors. Staff saw the need, felt this would be a good use of the funds, and quickly developed the project in-house. Commissioner Tollini asked if it would make more sense to add on to the existing structure, rather than constructing an additional facility. Mr. Nguyen explained the modular buildings come as fully stand-alone kits. Staff prepared an analysis on expanding the original structure and found the stand-alone approach to more cost effective and less complicated than attempting to add on to the existing restroom building. Vice-Chair Corcoran thanked Mr. Nguyen for providing background on the grant. His primary concern was to ensure that this project is a priority, rather than an opportunity. He appreciated staffs thorough research and that the project will eliminate need for the unsightly port-o john. He said Blackie's Pasture and the multi-use path are some of the Town's best-used and most cherished assets; these both contribute greatly to the Town's identity as a tourist destination and help to sustain property values. ACTION: It was M/S (Tollini/Kunzweiler) to adopt the draft resolution conditionally approving the project at One Blackie's Pasture Road. Motion carried: 3-0.
