With respect to affordable housing, Chair Blank stated that his personal view is that the Commission forward this to the City Council and indicate that it needs to come up with policy because otherwise, the five members of the Housing Commissioner who are trying to put their heads together do not have rules to go by. He compared it to the Planning Commission's discussion regarding the ridge. He emphasized that this needs to be defined and get certainty involved so that when developers come forward, they have a policy on affordable housing to go by. As for the Citizens for a Caring Community (CCC) not being involved, Chair Blank stated that the Planning Commission had a Work Session on this project in October 2012. He noted that CCC is a stakeholder in this and has to be involved. Chair Blank indicated that this project has his support personally and that having the Director of Community Development work with the applicant between now and the Council meeting on some of these issues discussed earlier is a great way to move this forward. Commissioner Pearce indicated that she will make two separate motions: one for the application, and a second to recommend that the City Council provide policy direction to the Housing Commission regarding affordable housing. Commissioner Pearce moved to find that the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 have not occurred as described in the addendum to the SEIR and that the previously prepared SEIR, including the adopted CEQA findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations, and the Addendum to the SEIR are adequate to serve as the environmental document for this project and satisfy all the requirements of CEQA; that the proposed PUD Development Plan and Development Agreement are consistent with the General Plan; and that the exceptions to the Housing Site Development Standards and Design Guidelines as listed in the staff report are appropriate; to make the PUD findings for the proposed Development Plan as listed in the staff report; and to recommend approval to the City Council of Case PUD- 85 -08 -01 D -04M , Major Modification and Development Plan, subject to Conditions of Approval listed in Exhibit A of the staff report, and of Case P13 -0030, a Development Agreement for the project, with the following modifications: PUD Maior Modification and Development Plan: 1.
