8.A. - Page 9 <br /> ALTERNATIVES <br /> 1. If the Council finds that the Final EIR is adequate, the Council could overrule the <br /> appeal and uphold the Planning Commission's certification of the EIR. <br /> 2. Even if the Council does not find any inadequacy in the EIR, it would be within <br /> the Council's discretion to send the EIR back to City staff pending an actual project <br /> application. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT <br /> The applicant will be required to fund any staff and consultant costs related to this <br /> project. In 1996, the City Council stated that the City would be willing to consider <br /> participation up to a maximum of 18 percent of the total costs of the EIR. The maximum <br /> 18 percent contribution was based on the private right-of-way being approximately 18 <br /> percent of the entire subdivision. Approval of any detailed financing plan would be <br /> subject to a public hearing. More recently, the City Council considered this matter on <br /> May 18, 2009 and was discouraged by staff and the City Attorney from contributinq <br /> financially to the total cost of the EIR as this would set a precedent and may encourage <br /> other developers to seek the same financial assistance from the City. (Attachment 7) <br /> The City is under no obligation to absorb 18 percent (or any amount) of the EIR <br /> processing cost, however, it remains within the Council's discretion to consider such a <br /> contribution. <br /> ! �'� <br /> SAILESH MEHRA <br /> STAFF ORIGINATOR <br /> i � <br /> ��� <br /> BILL EKERN <br /> COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR <br /> � � , Y"�� <br /> ROBERT B.
