Commissioner Pentin stated that he is looking at the entire City and what is available to meet the numbers. He indicated that talking about not top-loading on Sites 8, 11, and 14 and removing Site 7 because there is a groundswell of neighbors is not being fair to those future neighbors of Sites 8, 11, and 14. He noted that this is a good site for housing, whether 300 units with 45 affordable. Commissioner Pearce stated that she is already on the record at the Task Force and is very cognizant of the neighbors concerns, as she w concerns. She noted that at this moment, the Task Force is looking at the criteria alone, and Valley Trails was appropriate to put on the list because they needed to do a broad sweep and were required by the court to look at everything and disperse it. She added that the Task Force then came down to all individual criteria, and it did not make sense to keep Valley Trails on the list. Commissioner Pearce stated that she likes this site for some housing because of the criteria, such as access to freeway, to future grocery stores, to parks, to schools, and to future public transportation, and she thinks there is a lot of good that can come from the site if done correctly. She indicated that it will be a mixed-use site because it will have retail and the Safeway grocery, residential, and the park, and she is in favor of leaving it on the list. Chair Narum stated that she also is on the record and is in favor of leaving it on the list for similar reasons cited by Commissioner Pearce. She stated that she would like to see what the whole site would look like if some apartments and some single-family housing were done because the site has many pluses. inquired if all the office was being eliminated completely. Mr. Dolan replied that the assumption would be that ten acres would be going toward 30 units per acre, and the rest would be developed with something similar to what is across the street, such as 5.5 units per acre, single-family detached, small lot. He noted that if this is the assumption, there would be no office left. Chair Narum stated that the property owner indicated that if ten acres were used for multi-family, there would be about 88 single-family homes similar to the KB Homes development. stated that he was under the impression that there would be impacts from the office along with 300 units. He inquired how many acres would be left after the Safeway development and ten acres for single family homes. Mr. Dolan replied that there are 26 acres left, and if ten acres are used for multi-housing, there would be 16 acres left for single-family residential.
