concerning Pre-zoning and Rezoning the same site, were entered and adopted as motioned. CommissionerBlank inquired if it was staff’s intent for the planting of the San Joaquin spearscale to be in lieu of the 1:1 ratio. Mr. Bocian said no; it is in addition to the 1:1 ratio. Commissioner Blank moved to recommend to the City Council to consider directing staff to study the feasibility of installing a soundwall along the south side of Stoneridge Drive between Guzman and Trevor Parkways; to direct staff to work in cooperation with ACSPA to plant San Joaquin spearscale seeds on the community park site as appropriate; and to carefully consider the appropriate ratio for the mitigation of the San Joaquin spearscale as part of this project. Commissioner Pentin seconded the motion. Commissioner O’Connor proposed an amendment to the third item that a specific ratio be recommended in place of the term “appropriate.” Commissioner Blank stated that the reason he did not want to recommend a ratio was in deference to the difference in opinion in what was presented. He indicated that he thinks staff can determine the recommended ratio when it is taken to the City Council. Commissioner O’Connor noted that this is just a recommendation; the Council does not have to accept it and can take it into consideration along with whatever staff recommends. Commissioner Pentin stated that the Commission heard 5:1 ratio and 1:1 ratio and that he does not know which is right. Commissioner O’Connor indicated that is why the Commission is making a recommendation. Commission Blank indicated that he does not feel he is qualified to make that determination. Commissioner Pentin stated he does not feel qualified either. Chair Olson stated that the most qualified person in the field had indicated that it worked out pretty well with a 1:1 ratio. Commissioner Pentin stated that the Council will have this recommendation, and when staff takes the report to the City Council, it will include the discussion of the Commission. He added that the Council would have the Minutes from the meeting, and it can go with the 1:1 ratio or modify the ratio. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, May 26, 2010 Page 24 of 27
