Councilmember Pentin agreed that the proposed changes are positive all around. He maintained his issue with access to the arroyo and specifically with the way the project was conditioned. He requested a friendly amendment deleting the requirement for a major PUD modification to gain access to the arroyo, if and when the time comes that either the city or Zone 7 provide a through trail from the north side. Vice Mayor Brown declined, stating that she would support the position of the Parkside community. Councilmember Olson concurred. Councilmember Narum said was pleased to see a for-sale project with reduced density that simultaneously helps to alleviate some of the strain on traffic, schools and water. She said she also felt the proposed project was more consistent with the zoning of the adjoining parcel, should it ever be developed.
