Did PAMF’s Warning to Find an Alternative Site Outside of Sunnyvale Result in a Rushed EIR?

On October 7. 2008, PAMF President Dr. Slavin writes of frustration to Sunnyvale City Manager, Amy Chan, requesting an expedited delivery of the Environmental Impact Report.

 

Slavin states that the lack of communication is frustrating, disappointing and extremely costly. He continues, “further delays are not acceptable and will force us to look at alternative sites outside of Sunnyvale.”

Dr. Slavin requested a firm timeline, and weekly meetings with the Community Development Director, a project manager assigned by the city, and David J. Powers and Associates representatives. John Schwartz from DJ Powers Associates wrote that he could meet the January deadline with a few changes:

1. No second ADEIR necessary
2. Short City review time on ADEIR
3. No major comments received or add’l tech analysis needed

Given the “bare-bones” approach, did the result ensure an adequate EIR?
