Mr. Rasmussen stated that Alternative 3 has a total of 1710 units, which is the most of the four Alternatives, and is distinguished by the relocation of the high-density residential to the east of the residential planning area. He noted that it has the same sort of social arrangement with a Community Park and neighborhood shopping, and also potentially provides for the school site between the two multi-family residential sites. He added that if there is no school, the area would be multi-family with a neighborhood park next to it. He indicated that it also has the spine, and in this case, Boulder Street curves back up and does not extend on through the OSC and the PGS. Mr. Rasmussen then discussed Alternative 4, which provides for 1,283 units and includes 45 percent of the RHNA housing numbers earlier referred to by Ms. Stern. He indicated that this Alternative is distinguished by the fact that it keeps the OSC and PGS in their current locations. He stated that the OSC does not have any major implications for the rest of the planning area, and residential density could be made up by increasing the density slightly in the single-family residential areas or in other areas the City chooses. He noted, however, that the Transfer Station is much more of a difficult planning matter to design around, and because prevailing winds are in this direction, land to the east of the Transfer Station is designed to be industrial because of the odor, noise, garbage truck traffic, appearance, etc. He added that access to the Transfer Station would be by way of a route along Busch Road and then up to El Charro Road. He indicated that the multi-family units are dispersed on the eastern side, with the same spine and other assortment of land uses previously discussed. Mr. Rasmussen concluded his presentation by stating that staff and the consultants have a series of questions that they would like to pose to the Planning Commission for comments and input. Commissioner Olson made an observation that the housing information provided by Ms. Stern is critical information. He indicated that it is clear from the recent election and the emails that have come in on this item that housing is going to be a hot issue here. He noted that he thinks it would be good to include those RHNA housing numbers in what the Commission communicates, both to the other Commissions and to the public. Commissioner O'Connor noted that El Charro Road is a little differently designed in Alternatives 2, 3, and 4 and that he thought the design of El Charro Road followed the UBG, as shown in one of the slides that showed the UGB. He inquired where exactly the UGB is in relation to El Charro Road. Mr. Rasmussen replied that the UGB line extends down El Charro Road in a straight- line projection. He added that Alternative 1 shows all of El Charro Road within the UGB line. Commissioner O'Connor inquired if the UGB line shown in Alternative 1 is pretty close to the actual line.
