Re: The Link Project Pre-Application and Completeness Review
Attached is the material for the pre-application and completeness review for The Link (nee’
Chevron) project. On behalf of the applicant, Covelop, and the project team at RRM and Peck Planning,
we want to express our appreciation to the City staff who have approached this project with enthusiasm
and constructive comments. The application has benefitted from the comments received at the cha-
rette that was held earlier this year, and the several meetings that we have had with staff members and
City Council members.
The attached packet is intended as the official starting point for the project. The packet includes
a project description, illustrative and descriptive graphics, circulation improvement details, a detailed
quantitative summary of the project, a phasing plan, and an analysis of the project’s conformity with
General Plan, Specific Plan and Community Design Guidelines policies and regulations. It also includes a
fairly detailed quantitative analysis of the project’s conformity with recently minted Airport Land Use
Plan.
The purpose of this submittal is to get comments from the City on the necessary technical stud-
ies that will be needed for the entitlements, additional information for the application, a determination
of the scope and type of environmental review needed, and comments on the proposed design itself.
We have already initiated several studies that we know we will need to evaluate the project ahead of
formal submittal including a preliminary traffic operations assessment and VMT assessment; and up-
dated bio report (although many of the mitigations called for in the original EIR have been or will soon
be competed); a noise impact analysis; a air quality hazards assessment; and an updated Geotech and
Phase 1 environmental report.
Sincerely,
Stephen J. Peck, AICP
