Commissioner Blank inquired if anyone represented the Downtown property (SF Site 18). Chair Narum said no, and this was another anomaly about this site. She indicated that no letter or communication indicating interest was received from the property owner. Commissioner Blank inquired if staff reached out to the property owner. Ms. Stern replied that staff had sent a letter to all the property owners. Commissioner Olson inquired if for Sites 18, 19, and 20, the City does not know if the property owners want to develop or rezone. Chair Narum replied that the City has property owners for Sites 19 and 20 who have indicated interest. Commissioner Blank clarified that Site 18 does have a property owner but did not provide a response. noted that Sites 18 and 19 are fairly small and that he found both of those sites were strangely placed to put residential on them because the entire street is commercial. Commissioner Blank cautioned that the Commission was going down a slippery slope in starting to remove sites. Commissioner Olson stated that it was not going down a slippery slope because part of the process is for the Commission to do just this in order to arrive at a refined list. Commissioner Blank stated that he believes he heard Mr. Dolan indicate early on that sending more to the HCD does not hurt because the Commission could always change it later, as opposed to sending fewer and then having a change of heart later. Mr. Dolan replied that this is exactly what he said but that he also said it would be useful as well if there was a sentiment that the Commission felt strongly about a site being removed. Commissioner Pearce and Chair Narum both reiterated their strong feelings. stated that this was also the reason he brought up Sites 19 and 20. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, June 22, 2011 Page 29 of 33
