(Recess taken from 9:20 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.) A motion was made by Chairperson Roberts, seconded by Commissioner Kameny, that the Specific Plan as modified by the straw vote process is consistent with the General policies and programs. Commissioner Sullivan commented on the various agreements and referenced the General Plan, Community Character Element, and stated that the Bernal property does not meet the values set out in the Community Character Element. Further, based on that, he would not support the motion. Commissioner Kumaran stated that one of the major elements of the General Plan is the welfare of the community and he stated the original proposed plan and the modified plan do not preserve the welfare of the community. He noted that the number of units and the impacts on traffic and circulation in the Specific Plan are not within the General Plan. He noted he would not support the motion. Chairperson Roberts noted that the Specific plan is substantially in agreement with the General Plan and offers amenities to the community which outweigh the negative impacts. Commissioner Maas concurred. ROLL CALL VOTE AYES: Commissioners Kameny, Maas, and Chairperson Roberts NOES: Commissioner Kumaran and Sullivan ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None The motion carried.
