Page 3 of 5 Conclusion As this narrative and chronology clearly shows it was at the developers choice that the project was required to go through the approval process outlined. Had the project been smaller, using the existing building as HANC and residents requested, it would have been approved in far less than a year. Had the developer reduced the size of the off street parking garage and thus its traffic and air quality impacts no EIR would have been required and the project would have been approved. In both cases it was the developers choices that prolonged and delayed project approval. HANC and the projects neighbors simply followed the rules put in place by these decisions of the developer, raising questions stemming form the projects massive size and impacts. Finally, Whole Foods were never approved for the site, just a general "grocery store" use was formally approved (see Planning Commission Motion No. 17733, October 23, 2008). If the decisions made by the developer caused a delay that Whole Foods simply no longer wished to accept the loss of Whole Foods is to be laid at the door of the developer. |
