,-. Chairperson Sullivan advised that he does not feel the infrastructure is there in the three areas he noted. He further advised that he feels the Vineyard Corridor and Bernal property projects are important. Commissioner Maas stated that she does not feel it is fair to place the allocations for New Cities in the years 2003 and 2004. Chairperson Sullivan suggested that another category be added, allowing 25 units per year, that provide additional mitigation in areas related to schools, energy, or transportation or air quality. Commissioner Arkin stated that he would support this suggestion, allowing 50 additional units. Mr. Swift advised that he is fairly comfortable with linking this category to a green building/photovoltaic concept, but it would be more difficult to link it to the concerns related to the schools. .-- Chairperson Sullivan made a motion recommending Option 4 of the staff report, which provides for a total allocation of 350 units per year, prioritizes the Vineyard projects (with the exception of the Heinz project), and utilizes units from the "first-come, first-served" projects and places them in the "major projects" category; and establishing an additional category to be labeled "electricity mitigation" which would provide 50 units per year above the 350 total allocation for houses designed to meet the industry standard providing the electrical load of that house through the installation of a solar photovoltaic system, without a battery system. Discussion ensued regarding recommending Option 1 with the above stated provision. Commissioner Arkin seconded Chairperson Sullivan's motion. ROLL CALL VOTE AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: Commissioners Arkin and Sullivan Commissioner Maas Commissioners Kameny and Roberts None Resolution No. PC-2001-15 was entered as motioned. Commissioner Maas stated that she voted no because she feels the "first-come, first-served" numbers are too low; the Greenbriar/Heinz project is not addressed, and she feels that is an important part of the Vineyard Corridor and school development; and that she feels it is an inappropriate action to take with regard to the mitigation. She further stated that she does not totally disagree with the concept, but she does not feel it is fair to impose mitigation measures 0 projects that have already been approved. She noted that she would like to be flexible with the 350-unit allocation number in order to accommodate and balance growth to meet the needs of the City. ~ PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES March 28, 2001 Page 8
