Discussion ensued relating to the Commission previously denying the PUD for the New Cities Development and the total number of units that was approved for the New Cities Development. Commissioner Maas initiates discussion relating to Growth Management for the proposed 51 units, and whether the Commission can condition the development agreement that not all 51 units be approved to be built in the Year 2000. Ms. Seto noted that building permits could be requested in the Year 2000; however, the school condition is in place that no new students would be enrolled until a new school is built and occupancy is granted for the homes. Commissioner Maas noted that even though there are ample permits for the Year 2000, her recommendation would be that not all 51 units be approved to be built in the Year 2000. Chairperson Roberts stated that due to the Commission not knowing the total amount of units to be built due to not seeing the new plan, that the New Cities Development Plan is not consistent with the General Plan. A motion was made by Commissioner Kumaran, seconded by Commissioner Arkin, to deny the Development Agreement with New Cities Development Group.
