coming before the Commission again and say something similar that he has been able to say with all of the recent projects, how exceptionally pleased he is to have a really fine project coming into the Park. He noted that, as has been mentioned by several people and saw in the staff report, this is a tricky site, and to be able to simultaneously bring all of these elements together to come up with such a great project takes a lot of work. He expressed appreciation for the cooperation St. Anton Partners showed with the Park's Design Review Committee in terms of meeting things that the Committee had asked them to look at. He indicated that the developer has brought in an exceptional design team with both KGTY and Gates to work on this site, that type of high caliber representative of the other types of high quality projects that the Commission has seen from Hacienda recently and hopes to continue to see in the future. Mr. Paxson stated that the Park is supportive of the solution that came up with regard to the access. He indicated that the Park's three concerns on that particular component of the project was that it meet the requirements of the Park guidelines: a setback of 150 feet from the corner and 42 feet between driveways, both of which were met; and the preservation of the bus turnout and bus shelter, which the developer has assured will be the case. He added that he is totally fine with that particular amendment to the project and that the Park will work with the developer to review and get that approved prior to the City Council meeting. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Commissioner Pearce stated that she would like to preface her motion by saying that she is thrilled with the project and finds it exciting. She noted that she is delighted at the level of affordability and the number of units, and appreciates the developer's work on that. She added that, as she has previously mentioned, the project's walkability is great, its proximity to the hospital, and the variety and increased number of entries. She noted that it is nice and refreshing to hear nothing but positive speakers on a project. Chair Blank stated that before Commissioner Pearce makes her motion, he would like to know if the Commission might entertain a condition indicating that staff will work with the applicant to craft a condition that will allow the installation of electric outlets for electric vehicles in the garages and carports. Commissioner Pearce stated that she had that. Commissioner Pearce moved to find that the conditions described in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15162 have not occurred as described in the Addendum to the Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (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 documentation for this project and satisfy all CEQA requirements; that the proposed PUD Development Plan is consistent with the General Plan; and that the exceptions to the Housing Site Development Standards and Design PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, May 8, 2013 Page 11 of 25
