1 miramar beach resort and bungalows project 2 - Santa Barbara ...

1 to make one, I would say we ought to stick with the
2 initial parking requirement, but I'm willing to waive
3 that subject to additional input.
4 We may end up requiring it. But I just don't
5 feel we have adequate information on traffic. We have
6 limited it to one intersection. I don't want to go off
7 on my soapbox too long, but if you have 300 people
8 leaving an event on a Sunday afternoon, wherever, the
9 first time somebody heads south to Los Angeles, a family
10 of four, and they get slaughtered on that southbound
11 onramp, you can bet that every valet parker that they
12 have on that property is going to say, "Don't go south.
13 Go over to Eucalyptus. Go to North Jameson. Go back
14 down Hot Springs, or go south to Sheffield.
15 And no data, no study has been done on the
16 potential impact on any of the other intersections in
17 all of Montecito, and they're all in trouble. We have
18 traffic problems. So I guess what I would say is I want
19 to hold off on parking, and I want to hold off on
20 anything related to traffic until we get considerably
21 more information.
22 MR. PHILLIPS: I agree.
23 Mr. Chair, if you'll entertain a motion
24 regarding the CEQA document, maybe that's the time to do
25 it, or do you want to do it --
