Councilmember Sullivan asked if stakeholders were given any opportunity, beyond the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, to weigh in on the new park design. Mr. Fialho stated that the schematic before the Council has been vetted through two community workshops, several discussions with the Valencia Homeowner's Association, and the Parks and Recreation Commission. Archstone had, by virtue of being notified through the community workshops, an opportunity to come and weigh in on the schematic. There has been no opposition from the community regarding the relocation. Ms. Andrade-Wax added that the only direction received through the process was a request to orient the courts to true north. Councilmember McGovern asked and confirmed with Matthew Gruber, Callander Associates, that construction is anticipated to occur sometime in 2013-2014. Sean Dugan, EBRPD, added that the project has a completion deadline of 2016 and that the goal is for the replacement and demolition of these facilities to occur simultaneously. Mayor Hosterman noted there were no speaker.

Continued to November 15, 2011 - Public Hearing: PUD-50-01M, Ponderosa Homes, Carol Lehman, and William and Kathryn Selway — Consider a Major Modification to the Planned Unit Development to increase the number of lots on an approx. 19.47 acre site at 3157 Trenery Dr. and 2313 Martin Ave. from 27 to 31; to construct 29 single-story homes from the previous combination of 25 homes, to change the house designs and sizes; on/off site modifications; amendment to the low-income housing agreement; and certify the Negative Declaration MATTERS INITIATED BY COUNCIL Councilmember Sullivan said he believed it time to update the City's green building standards, with a focus on utilizing these tools to help meet some of the goals of the Climate Action Plan. He strongly urged doing so soon, given the development applications that are likely to come in. Councilmembers McGovern and Cook-Kallio concurred. Mr. Fialho recommended jumping into that discussion shortly after the final Climate Action Plan and environmental documents come forward for approval in January 2012. Councilmember Sullivan also requested support for directing staff to look into the types of universal design standards touched upon in the Housing Element. Councilmember Cook-Kallio agreed and said it would be useful for the public to define the relationship between universal and ADA design standards. • COUNCIL REPORTS Councilmember Sullivan said he attended a water retailers meeting last week. They reviewed the annual report, which discusses water supply and quality issues as well as forecasts. He requested a discussion item with the Council to review some troubling information relating to Zone 7's long-term forecast, ideally prior to the Zone 7 Liaison Committee meeting staff is attempting to schedule. Mr. Fialho said he and staff are already structuring a presentation to the Council, which would include discussion on the significance of recent Zone 7 rate increases.
