DRAFT Mr. Dolan stated that staff anticipated that comment and actually has a previous Alternative, although with a twist on it, created tonight. He indicated that this was done back when staff was still working with a 50/50 single-family vs. multi-family. Commissioner O'Connor stated that the Commission did talk at that Work Session about going as far as 65/35. Mr. Dolan replied that was correct. He added that what he was saying is that staff grabbed this at the last minute because staff heard some rumblings about this desire today. He noted that staff did not adjust it to a different unit mix, and if the Commission wants a 1,430 staff needs to know if the Commission wants that done at 65/35 like the Task Force's ratio. Commissioner O'Connor replied that he thinks that in order to create the value, it needs to be at 65 percent; otherwise, it may not be financially feasibility. Mr. Dolan stated that the only down side of including this at all is that it adds a little more to track and it is going to be a little more expensive and will add some cost to the EIR, which would be the property owner's burden. He indicated that staff is not opposed to including it and was something that was brought up at the Task Force. He explained that there used to be different Plans with equidistant steps, but one was taken out, and the Task Force members were ultimately fine with it because he convinced them that this number could be moved wherever they wanted as long as they have the high end covered, and they were satisfied with that. He acknowledged, even then, that it is more convenient to have the steps and so he is not opposed to putting it back in. Chair Pearce inquired if it is more convenient and more efficient because it is already in the EIR. Mr. Dolan replied that if it turns out that this is what is approved, land the numbers do not need to be manipulated; but that is only in that one circumstance. Chair Pearce agreed with Mr. Dolan. Commissioner Allen agreed on the 65/35. Commissioner O'Connor asked if that is all staff needs from the Commission. Mr. Dolan replied that it would be great if the Commission supports its selection of the Preferred Plan, and it can be called whatever the Commission wants, and add the 1,430 Plan, and that would be one outcome that would be fine with staff. Commissioner Allen stated that that was a great suggestion and she supports adding the other Plan. She indicated that she would like to propose, if there is support for this, that the Preferred Plan be reduced slightly. She stated that at the last Task Force DRAFT EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, 9/25/2013 Page 25 of 28
