He <br /> stated that he thinks that this is a kind of return on investment of the 1.5 years of Task <br /> Force work and hopes to complete that investment to get the highest level of return <br /> which would enable the highest quality development. <br /> Mr. McPartland stated that this entire process started as a result of litigation, and he <br /> could have and would have understood if the response would have been reactionary; <br /> however, this Commission and the people who helped work it did it intelligently, <br /> cooperatively, and proactively. He praised staff for a job well done. <br /> James Paxson, Executive Director of Hacienda Business Park, stated that this is the <br /> culmination of a lot of work, and for him, it is one of the most exciting projects they have <br /> undertaken in the Park and is gratified by the Commission's support. He indicated that <br /> this is an important missing piece of the 1.5 years of the planning process and is <br /> something that the community will be proud of it, with the groundwork laid thus far <br /> allowing for things to really bring great things forward. He thanked the Commission for <br /> its support and stated that Hacienda looks forward to bringing back plans at some point <br /> so this Commission can actually see it built. <br /> THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. <br /> EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, MAY 25, 2011 Page 18 of 18 <br />
