Commission discussing the background of the City's IZO including recent case law, and the background of the proposed AFA for PUD-96 citing the Housing Commission's unanimous recommendation After hearing all public testimony, the Planning Commission then closed the public hearing. Commissioner Herb Ritter questioned staff on the impact of project traffic using the shopping center's entrance from Bernal Avenue. Staff replied that the traffic Levels- of-Service (LOS) with the project at this intersection and entrance/exit to/from the shopping center would be LOS D or less, and that the present traffic queues from the shopping center to Bernal Avenue typically clear at each signal cycle. Staff stated that is would be unlikely that 100% of the project's traffic would use this entrance. When the shopping center is busy, the residents of the proposed development would more-than- likely use one of the project's entrances from Valley Avenue. With no further questions or comments, the Planning Commission voted 4-0 (Chair Jennifer Pierce, absent) to recommend approval of PUD-96, PUD Development Plan, and P13-1928, Development Agreement, subject to the staff recommendation. (Staff notes that draft ordinance includes minor clerical changes to Exhibit A).
