BY ,DEPUTY
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
As a result of the Board's action on January 5, 1988, the County
called a meeting of interested parties regarding the transportation
impacts of the proposed California State University campus in
Concord. The meeting was held February 29, 1988 in Walnut Creek, and
was attended by approximately 35 people, including Supervisor McPeak,
Chairman Schroder's representative and others representing the
County, the cities of Walnut Creek and Concord, the State University
System, Central Contra Costa Transit Authority, and major developers
in the vicinity of the University site. The group discussed the
University's plans, possible transportation mitigation efforts, and
proposed development in the area. Everyone agreed that the need to
cooperatively plan for the campus and the immediate area justified
creation of a Planning Task Force of elected officials, supported by
staff from the affected jurisdictions, the State University System,
and adjacent developers. The Task Force would address transportation
issues, and could serve to focus efforts on accelerating the
establishment of a full four-year State University campus in Contra
Costa County.
To facilitate the formation of the Planning Task Force the County
will contact the cities of Walnut Creek and Concord requesting their
r participation in the Task Force. In addition, the California State
University representatives in attendance agreed to seek California
State University :parti.ci.pation in the Task Force.
City and developer representatives in attendance also expressed
concern that the State University EIR traffic study adequately
address mitigation issues. Towards this end, they suggested that the
California State University staff convene a meeting of interested
city, County and developer representatives to discuss the traffic
study scope of work prior to California State University finaliziing
its contact with the traffic consultant. Supervisor McPeak asked the
California State University officials if this was possible, and they
agreed to convene this meeting as soon as practical .
