He <br />also echoed Commissioner Narum and O’Connor in that these homes would not satisfy <br />the regional housing needs requirements, and he cannot find a compelling reason to <br />say yes. <br />Commissioner Narum stated that she would want the site plan to follow the Foothill <br />Road Corridor Overlay District with the required setbacks from Foothill Road, clustering, <br />and other items. She added that vineyards were not the intent of the District; the <br />Commission did not allow it on other projects and would not want to see it on this <br />project either. <br />Commissioner Pentin agreed that this particular project has problems with the <br />remainder of the questions. <br />Commissioner Narum suggested a discussion on the house sizes and designs to <br />minimize visual impacts to different points in the City, and a willingness to keep all <br />houses single story. <br />Stan Gamble stated that Parcel 3 is not very steep and that there are not many trees. <br />He inquired whether the Commission would be amenable to developing Parcel 3 as a <br />further option and recommended that the Commission visit the site. <br />Chair Olson stated that the Commission is generally not in favor of amending the <br />General Plan and that whatever is proposed should meet the guidelines for the Foothill <br />Road Corridor Overlay District. <br />No action was taken. <br />c.
