To direct staff to implement conditions consistent with the intent and specific of what the Richmond Heights Neighborhood Council requested as follows: (1) address traffic safety issues by requiring a traffic safety study and implementation of safety mitigations prior to the store opening; (2) effectively control added traffic into surrounding neighborhood streets; (3) modify Condition #20 so that store closing is 8:00 p.m. throughout the year; (4) modify Condition #19 so that delivery trucks leave by 9:00 p.m.; (5) assure that neighbors have noise protection, including by adding a commercial sound absorbing wall at the loading dock that meets the zoning code noise limits; (6) modify the signage to a 24" tall sign facing San Pablo Avenue, a 30" tall lettered sign facing the parking lot, and an unilluminated Dollar Tree logo and green stripe at the top left corner facing Barrett Ave; and (7) review the brightness levels and conditions regarding lighting so that adjacent neighbors are not impacted by bright night lighting from the store's parking lot and sign. Also, review traffic merging and safety issues; receive input from the neighborhood council; and implement additional safety measures based upon the opinion of the Director of Community Development
