In response to Commissioner Arkin's question, Ms. Seto confirmed that the City was part of the negotiations and has veto power regarding the option. She advised that if the proposal came before the City, it could exercise its zoning authority. Commissioner Sullivan noted that the Planning Commission would not take any action on this item and that the workshop is an opportunity for the Planning Commission to hear from the developer, and for the community to provide comments. The item would return to the Commission in July for action and would go to the City Council following that action. Ms. Pam Hardy, Ponderosa Homes, noted that this was the fifth in a series of workshops that commenced in June 2001. She noted that the valuable input from the workshops helped Ponderosa develop the concept, and that the application was filed in March, 2001.

She noted that Mike Goldsworthy would detail that item in more detail. Commissioner Arkin stated that he believes that the senior apartments should be closer to the recreational facilities, and would like to see more unification in the facilities design. Ms. Hardy noted that they were mindful to provide a site plan design that encouraged the people in the neighborhood to walk amongst neighborhoods and to the park. She noted that it was a fairly short walk to the pool, and that there would be further refinements as /" the project evolved. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES June 26, 2002 Page 3
