Mr. Dolan replied that the Growth Management Subcommittee consists of two Councilmembers and three senior staff people; and its primary goal is to initiate the dialogue on what changes, if any, Growth Management Ordinance and system in response to the loss of the Housing Cap and the adoption of a new Housing Element. With respect to its timeline, Mr. Dolan stated that it is as soon as possible, because the community is now living in a new world and has the benefit of a slow market; but the Councvery much to have something in place before the next cycle of development. He indicated that there are no specific dates yet, but there is an urgency to the dialog that the City get something down. He added that the Subcommittee has not yet gotten to point where something can be discussed in a public forum, but at that point, he will have a better handle on deadlines. He noted that this will be a short-term effort rather than long-term. Commissioner Olson inquired if a Legal staff representative is included in the Subcommittee. Mr. Dolan said yes. The Commission then proceeded to discuss the Sites. Ms. Stern displayed a map of the 17 sites currently on the list that was moved forward from the Housing Element Task Force. She noted that these are the same sites shown to the Planning Commission back in April, with a few exceptions: two sites have been taken off the list, which are the Church property at the end of Valley Trails Drive and the Goodnight Inn on Santa Rita Road; and four sites have been added, which are the two sites suggested by a Planning Commissioner on Sunol Boulevard/Sonoma Drive (Site 19) and Sunol Boulevard/Sycamore Road (Site 20); the Downtown site across from the Civic Center (SF Site 18); and the Wagner site at 4202 Stanley Boulevard (Site 21). Chair Narum advised that Commissioner Pentin has a conflict with regard to Site 19, the Sunol Boulevard and Sonoma Drive site, and will not participate in any discussion relative to that site. List of Sites Ms. Stern then presented the with suggested densities which were recommended by the Housing Element Task Force. She indicated that there is one site recommended at 40 units per acre: Stoneridge Shopping Center (Site 3); the Task Force felt that substantial density could be accommodated at that location, especially with BART nearby. She continued that there were a few sites where the Task Force recommended a slightly lower density that meets the C 23 units per acre: Irby-Kaplan-Zia (Site 6); Nearon Site (Site 9); CM Capital Properties (Site 13); Axis Community Health (Site 17); Downtown (SF Site 18); and the two smaller sites which are somewhat difficult to develop with higher density and which are surrounded by development, Sunol Boulevard and Sonoma Drive (Site 19) and Sunol Boulevard and Sycamore Road (Site 20).
